It’s finally here and it’s everything it’s cracked up to be. We spent all morning anxiously waiting for the Dark Knight slots to go live on some of our favourite sites and checked every five minutes until it went up. Then we were like kids at Christmastime!
The first thing to note is that you can’t try it out for free – that is, practice play is disabled on every site. This is because the slot is progressive and therefore Microgaming has decreed that you must be a real-currency player in order to experience it – boo!
That being said, there are still ways to get Dark Knight free spins, you just have to be a little trickier about getting them. You can use the Roxy no deposit bonus to play or you can just win them instead. Simply spin 3, 4 or 5 of the Joker symbols to get your 15 free spins which start at a 2x multiplier. The free spins are not retriggerable and the bonus round cannot be accessed during the free spins.
As expected, there are cinematic spins (which you can turn off in the options menu – but why would you?) and there’s an expanding wild which is the bat symbol. If you spin the stacked wilds across all reels, you can win up to 4,000,000 coins. The Batman or the Joker can appear at any time to award you a random prize.
Best of all, there are four progressive jackpots to be won – Mini, Minor, Major and Mega, which starts at 1,000,000 coins! It’s randomly triggered but the higher your bet, the greater the chance you stand to trigger the round.
If you’re still with us and you haven’t rushed off to play the Dark Knight slot, what are you waiting for?
