Superhero Slots: Blade

Cryptologic’s line of online slot games based off the much-loved and instantly-recognizable Marvel superheroes are some of the most popular internet-based pokies out there. The games premiered in 2005, with a few new titles added along the way. One of our favorites is the punter based off the character Blade. Blade is a vampire, but he is also a vampire hunter with a sense of righteousness and a cache of killer weapons. Portrayed by the (now incarcerated) Wesley Snipes in a trilogy of hit Hollywood films, this once-obscure character has joined the ranks of much better-known faces in the Marvel canon and earned his own slot game.

Blade is a five-reel, nine-payline online slot game with adequate graphics and a pretty impressive jackpot structure. The game is linked into the multilevel Marvel superhero progressive jackpot network. None of these jackpots are million-dollar life-changers, but they tend to hit every few hours and have made plenty of players rich and happy.

The title character is the wild symbol, as well as the jackpot symbol. Blade can stand in for any icon on the reels to form a winning combination, with the exception of the Blade scatter symbol. Accumulate two or more scatters on the reels in any placement and win! If you get a vampire symbol on reels one and five with a Blade symbol anywhere in the third reel, you win five free spins. During these bonus spins, the Blade symbol stays static on the third reel, which raises your chances of winning greatly!
