Dark Knight

Playtech’s Dark Knight pokie is an exciting, yet mysterious, game following the theme of DC’s superhero. The game offers a range of exciting features and even some progressive jackpots that are triggered completely at random. The pokie is perfect for low budget players as it can be played from just 20 cents a spin. What’s really exciting about this game is that you get to play a role in the story, helping Batman himself to protect the city and following in the footsteps of the movie of the same name.

Theme and background of Dark Knight

The main theme of this slot is, of course, Batman. As you’d expect from a pokie based on this popular film, the graphics and animations within the game are stunning. All the details are there, right down to the individual characters that make up the symbols on the reels. You’ve got characters like the Joker, Harvey Dent, Bruce Wayne and Detective Gordon all on the reels, but it’s Batman himself that awards the most, with a whopping 75x your initial stake when you land five on the reels. To top it off, the soundtrack is taken from the movie, truly throwing you into the environment of Gotham City as you help protect it from villains.

Layout and functionality of Dark Knight

This pokie has a slightly unusual setup as it has 6 reels with 50 paylines. What’s even more exciting is that these paylines can be played both ways so that you really get some exciting prizes. There are four progressive jackpots and three separate bonus features available. The Joker landing stacked on the sixth reel triggers the Joker respins feature. Activating the Dark Knight free game feature awards you seven free spins when the Batman symbol lands on reels two and three. If the Joker bonus icon lands on reels four and five you trigger the Agent of Chaos feature, where you get free spins, a locked Batman wild symbol and more.

Our opinion about Dark Knight

This pokie is a truly stunning addition to the Playtech library. The fact that there are so many bonus features means that you’re sure to get some wins as you go along. While you can get decent wins and respins in the base game, the real fun is found in those bonus features, which include locked wilds and large Joker icons that pay out high values. With four jackpots to get your hands on, there’s plenty going on. With a mid to high variance, you might have to tough it out through some dry spells on occasion, but when those wins do come, they’re usually big. For any Batman fan, this is an absolute must.

Other games you might like if you enjoyed Dark Knight

Dark Knight pokie really is in a league of its own, but if you like superhero pokies then there are a number of other options you can try out. For instance, you can check out the prequel to this one in the form of Batman Begins – the origin story of Batman himself. Another Playtech offering is Man of Steel, this time a pokie centring on the ever-popular Superman. Both these pokies offer a whole exciting set of bonuses all following the storylines of the movies they are named after.
