Superhero Slots: Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four have quickly become some of the best-loved characters in the sizeable canon of Marvel superheroes. The pair of hit Hollywood movies based around their adventures have assured that this quartet of super-powered friends (Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and The Thing) will pass into fandom immortality. It’s a good thing that this fictional group has so many fans this way, because they certainly won’t gain any as a result of the Cryptologic online slot game devoted to their story.

The Fantastic Four online slot machine is certainly one of the lazier efforts from Cryptologic in their line of Marvel superhero slots, many of which are sketchy at best. The graphics are sub-par, and we are not a fan of the random letters and numbers that will out the reels. We think that the least the software provider could have done is pony up the money to actually get a picture of the characters, as a graphic if not on the actual reels. Instead, players will see insipid depictions of DNA strands and potions with some lame sound effects.

This online slot game carries a top jackpot of five thousand coins, as well as a shot at three progressive jackpots through the Marvel superhero progressive network. Images of the four superheroes, plus their nemesis Doctor Doom are wild symbols standing in for any other on the reels in a winning combination. The Fantastic Four logo is the scatter symbol. If you get two or more of these anywhere on the reels, you are awarded free spins. It also features a simple bonus game.
