Slot Review: The Sub-Mariner

Nowadays, The Sub-Mariner is one of the most esoteric Marvel superheroes. Given most fans’ lack of familiarity with him, it might interest you to know that the man otherwise known as Namor was one of the very first Marvel creations, appearing on the scene in 1939. Namor is the king of the lost city of Atlantis, and is possessed of superhuman strength and aquatic abilities. In modern days, he has been recast as one of the great comic book anti-heroes, with a great sense of rage and vengeance against the humans that have hurt his people and his kingdom. The slot machine dedicated to him is a late addition to the popular line of Cryptologic superhero online slots.

The Sub-Mariner is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot machine game. Coin values start at one cent and range up to five dollars. Max coins is set at twenty-five, so the maximum per-wager bet is one hundred twenty-five dollars per spin. By itself, The Sub-Mariner has a five thousand coin jackpot (for a max of twenty-five thousand dollars), but it is a part of the Marvel Superhero progressive jackpot network, which can be hit on any spin!

The background of this game is the swirling waters of Atlantic. Symbols on the reels support the theme strongly, and include: sea monsters, an anchor, a necklace of shark’s teeth belonging to The Sub-Mariner, and diving equipment. There are several great animations as well. With wilds, scatters, bonuses, and free spins aplenty, this game will delight even non-fans of the comic book.
