Batman Begins is Playtech’s first real crack at the Dark Knight trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale as Batman. The first game features various characters and imagery from that film and contains Playtech’s DC Comics Super Heroes Jackpot network. Expect quality gameplay and top graphics in this game. The RTP is 95.03% and we estimate the variance to be medium.
Batman Begins Wagering and Prizes
The Batman Begins slot machine is played over five reels and a basic twenty line structure. As you can imagine, none of those twenty paylines can be altered, but to be honest, not too many players would want to. Players can, however, alter their line bets so that they range from €/$0.01 up to €/$10.00 per line. This, in turn, changes the total stakes, so they range from €/$0.20 per spin up to €/$200.00 per spin in all.
Of course, the top prizes in this game are progressive jackpots. There are four of those in all, and they are all won at random via the jackpot bonus. In this feature, players must match three identical coloured hexagons from the honeycomb structure to win whatever jackpot those colours represent. Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpot prizes are available. Batman Begins is available on desktop computers, tablets and smartphones.
Special Features
Two wilds appear in the base game by default. The Gotham City/Batman logo is a standard wild while landing a wild in the middle of the third reel will see it expand to occupy the whole reel. Players can work their way through stages by filling meters, and each step offers up its own special wild symbol.
The game starts in The Temple, with flower wilds expanding in various directions. Players need to land specific characters in the middle of the third reel (known as the hotspot) to fill up the right or left meters, respectively, and those meters will decide the next stage they enter. The characters you need are displayed beside each meter.
Bonus Round
Making to Wayne Manor will see players’ land petrol wild symbols, which can turn surrounding symbols into wilds.
Over in The Batcave, players can prosper from Batmobile wilds that will trigger re-spins with wilds that shift one position to the left on each re-spin. When no further wilds appear, the re-spin feature will end.
If you make it to the Arkham Asylum, the Bat-Signal becomes the special wild, and it can appear randomly on any reel, boosting your wins by 2x up to 50x the standard rate of pay. Lastly, the Monorail stage offers microwave wilds to transform random symbols into the highest paying ones in the game.
Final Thoughts
Playtech is back on track with a variety of new branded casino slots. Batman Begins is an action-packed video slot with five different stages. The graphics are amazing, and each stage has a unique backdrop. Batman Begins is a game that has the potential to give you some pretty awesome rewards if you’re willing to put in the time. You can play one of four progressive jackpots, all won via random chance. If you like branded slots then NetEnt’s Hansel and Gretel is also worth a try.
