Would you like to try win some cash?

Of all the Superman movies, it’s this second in the series that most people consider to be by far the best. Thankfully, this slot game from Playtech is highly impressive too. Superman finds himself up against some other survivors from his home planet of Krypton and these aren’t quite as friendly as he is. If that’s not enough to contend with, Superman had his relationship with Lois Lane to worry about

This is a five-reel game that has a total of 25 pay-lines on its three rows of symbols. That’s a fixed amount so no need to be working out how many to activate on each spin of the reels. You do need to work out your stake though and that can be from 0.25 to 25. Just work out a budget you can afford to play at and enjoy this action-packed game.

Having images from the movie is very important in these kind of games. In the background, we see a quiet Metropolis with all its skyscrapers, they won’t last long! The symbols for the game feature Superman and the three Kryptonian villains, that’s General Zod, Ursula and Non – aka, the brains, the beauty, and the brute.  We also get Lois Lane, the Daily Planet, and some kryptonite. Also, there’s that pair of glasses which amazingly fools everyone into believing Clark Kent doesn’t look a bit like Superman and Lois Lane calls herself an investigative journalist?  The lowest paying symbols are the Jack to Ace playing cards. No sign of Lex Luthor though who was in this movie.

It’s Superman’s ‘S’ logo that is the wild symbol in this game.  Is it a bird? (how big are birds in America?), is it a plane? No, it’s a symbol that can substitute for others to create some winning combinations for you but It can’t sub for the Daily Planet bonus icon. During the base game, there’s the Superman Wild Feature. He flies across the reels and turns up to four symbols wild. Reels are then re-evaluated and any new wins paid out.

There’s a lot happening in this slot, so have some free games to see it in action. Also, click on the ‘Info’ button to access the paytable. That’s packed with information about how the bonus games work and details of how much the winning combinations pay.  For example, five wilds are the top prize with a 5000x multiplier of your line bet and five Superman symbols is a 1000x win.

If three of the Daily Planet bonus symbols end up anywhere on the first, third and fifth reels at the end of a spin, then that’s great news. This triggers the Daily Planet Bonus Feature and there are five options available to you.  To select which one, you end up playing, just press the ‘Stop’ button.

You could end up in ‘Battle for Metropolis’ which is a pick ‘em game. It’s time to battle the villains and you need to pick a shield to reveal either cash prizes or special items. That includes kryptonite which for once helps you as it’ll cancel out the ‘Collect’ which automatically ends the bonus. Get the X-ray and that wins you all the available prizes.

The other pick ‘em game is the Lois & Clark Bonus. Choose from a series of Superman symbols and five matching colours win you a prize. A red arrow (related to Green Arrow?) doubles wins and an ‘S’ adds an additional colour.

The Phantom Zone awards you ‘unlimited’ free spins. There’ a 2×2 grid added to the reels which acts as a wild but avoid the explosives symbol as that ends the game. Not so though if you have saved a Superman wild symbol.

In the Skyline Flight game, you are given 10 free spins and the appearance of Superman on reel three increases the available multiplier up to a maximum 5x and starts the free spins all over again. It drops back to 1x if General Zod appears on the third reel.

You’ll be chasing a progressive jackpot in this game. Getting into this jackpot game can happen after any spin. There’s a better chance of doing so if playing with a large stake, just be careful with that budget. As in other DC superhero games, there’s a grid and you need to match colours to win either the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand jackpot. Just how much they are can be seen above the reels.

Perhaps Marvel Superheroes are more your cup of tea? If so, try out the ‘Spiderman Green Goblin’ which also has 25 pay-lines, a 5×3 grid and free spins on offer with attached multipliers. It’s also produced by Playtech and is almost an identical clone of this Superman II slot. If you’re a Batman rather than Superman fan, try Ash Gaming’s ‘Batman and the Joker Jewels’ that also has free spins and a progressive jackpot.

A fantastic slot game to play. It has the soundtrack from the movie and that really spurs you on. Lots of bonus games and a progressive jackpot, this is highly recommended.
