Man of Steel slot

Playtech Man of Steel slot is another entry into the DC Jackpot slot series and comes with a 95.05% RTP and a whole host of little bonus features.

Let’s start with the feature you will most commonly see which is the shifting wilds. Superman appearing on reel 1 will award you respins and shift one reel until he leaves the screen. General Zod will do the reverse, landing on reel 5 and shifting left. Should Superman and Zod meet each other as they shift then you will be awarded the “main” free spins feature. If you have ever played the NetEnt Invisible Man slot then you will know exactly what we are talking about here.

Free Spins Feature: Battle For Earth

The free spins feature can be a little confusing as the feature has potentially unlimited free spins and only ends when Superman loses a battle with either Zod or with one of Zod’s henchmen wilds. During free spins every fight that occurs awards more wilds.

Krypton Free Games Bonus

The Krypton Free Games is the second “main” feature and this bonus is triggered when the Krypton Free Games symbol lands on reel 5.

A new reel set with new symbols will appear and now contains 5 reels, 4 rows and 50 paylines.

The player wins 7 free spins which can be re-triggered. In addition to this, before the free spins start up anything to 10 sticky wilds can appear on the reels which remain for the duration of the free spins.

World Engine Bonus

This mini feature is triggered when the World Engine Bonus symbol lands on reel 5. The world engine will activate and turn up to 7 symbols wild.

Man of Steel slot review

This is an interesting and fun entry into the new DC Super Heroes Jackpot slot series. The wealth of features and mini features keep the entertainment levels ticking over and while this is a pretty low variance slot that fact in itself makes it a pretty good choice for those who are chasing one of the progressive jackpots. While you are not likely to really break the bank during the main game play, if you really want to attack the jackpots then this could be one of the safer options.

DC SUPER HEROES JACKPOT

The DC Super Heroes Jackpot is a multi-level mystery progressive jackpot that is linked to the DC Super Heroes series of games. A small percentage of each bet placed in any of the DC Super Heroes games is added to the progressive jackpot. The percentage of all bets placed is split between four jackpot levels, which are displayed in the upper part of the game screen, above the reels.

Any level of the DC Super Heroes Jackpot can be won through the jackpot game, which can be triggered randomly after any main game spin in any of the DC Super Heroes series of games. It is not triggered by any symbol combination, and even a main game spin that does not result in a win can trigger the jackpot game. Triggering the jackpot game is possible at any bet size, but the chances increase or decrease proportionally with the size of the bet.

Entering the jackpot game guarantees a win of one of the four jackpots: Mini Jackpot, Minor Jackpot, Major Jackpot and Grand Jackpot. The four different jackpot levels represent different prize amounts, with the Mini Jackpot awarding the smallest prize and the Grand Jackpot awarding the largest.

The jackpot game screen features a selection grid with 20 hexagonal cells. Picking a cell reveals one of the four energy colours, each one corresponding to one of the four progressive jackpots: Green for Mini Jackpot, Blue for Minor Jackpot, Yellow for Major Jackpot and Red for Grand Jackpot. When a colour is revealed, it fills one of the energy balls under the relevant jackpot field. Each one of the jackpots requires a different number of energy balls filled in order to be won: 2 balls for Mini Jackpot, 3 balls for Minor Jackpot, 4 balls for Major Jackpot and 5 balls for Grand Jackpot.

The player picks cells from the grid until the required number of balls in the same colour have been selected to win one of the jackpots. Once all matching balls have been collected, the corresponding jackpot level will be awarded. Clicking Continue ends the jackpot game and returns the player to the main game. The jackpot winnings are added to the main game winnings from the triggering spin (if any) and are displayed in the Win field, together with any other winnings.

The DC Super Heroes Jackpot game has a timeout timer. If a matching set of balls is not collected by the player before the set amount of time elapses, cells will be selected automatically and the corresponding jackpot will be awarded.

Please note:

• The seed and jackpot values are in Euros in the progressive network and their value in your local currency is dependent on the currency exchange rate.
• The mechanics of the DC Super Heroes Jackpot prohibit simultaneous jackpot winnings.
• Imperfections in the Internet connectivity may cause you to experience delays in jackpot messages or updates, but they do not affect actual jackpot wins.
