Microgaming has a knack for transforming blockbusters into slot games. The Dark Knight is no exception. While Playtech has chosen to "cartoonify" their superheroes, Microgaming has chosen to use photos of the stars from the movie. It's up to the players' discretion as to what approach is best.
What I advise anybody is to look beyond the games' appearance and see that which is most important: the possibilities of winning. A slot game can have all the eye candy in the world and yet fail to give any real candy. It is speculated that the Dark Night came to fill in the void left by the Lord of The Rings Slot as the previous slot's license had expired.
Unlike other slot games, the Dark Night doesn't have any paylines. Don't Panic! You will get a set of 243 possible winning combinations. You'll be able to win as much 10 coins or as little as one, the minimum of any bet is $0.5 and the maximum is $6. The game has a wild symbol as well as a scatter symbol, free spins, and a progressive jackpot. All of these features make the absence of paylines unnoticeable.
Wild Symbol
The wild symbol is the Batman Logo. When activated, the wild shall substitute all symbols except the scatter. Apart from this traditional feature, the symbol will also act as a stacked wild, substituting other symbols simultaneously on a reel, stacking them. If you so-happen to have multiple winning combinations, all of them shall be paid.
Scatter Symbol
The Joker logo is the scatter symbol, which inspires terror as well as wonder. Be prepared to see the batman's logo hideously deformed by the joker's face paint. The scatter symbol manages to two things firstly, doubles a player's win, and secondly, if 3 or more scatters appear, they trigger the free spin feature.
Free Spins
If you manage to get into the free spins round be ready for some serious winnings. You can get as many as 15 free spins at a time, if you get enough Scatters. Another great bonus is the multipler that starts up to x2 which can increase during this free round. Also, when you are in this area of Gotham, The Dark Night logo will become a staking wild!!!
Progressive Jackpot
The Dark Night's best gadget is the progressive jackpot. You have 4 different progressive jackpots: mega progressive, major progressive, minor progressive and mini progressive. The biggest jackpot on recorda has been over 1 milion EURO!. The only drawback is that you get to the jackpot randomly, and you win randomly…
Summary
The Dark Night shall delight Batman fans. If we are to see the game as a replacement for the Lord of the Rings then we have to admit it does exactly what the previous slot did: offers a cinematic experience to the players.
