Iron Man Casino Slot

Iron Man, a 5 reel and 25 pay-line video slot in Cryptologic’s Marvel series, has a default 1 coin bet per line, accompanied by a large range of coin values, in steps from 0.01 to 0.02, then 0.05, followed by 0.10 and 0.25, on to 0.50; steps then get bigger with 1.00 and 2.00 being next, followed by the highest value of 5.00. Paylines can be activated individually or, if all lines are to be activated, by using Bet Max.

The excellent software includes features such as Auto Play, sound options and player avatars. Animation of the reels may be disabled within the game settings menu, thus eliminating the spinning. There are no statistics available, but this is not really a problem in slot games. Graphics are good and the animations both for the symbols and within the bonus feature are excellent.

Rules and Payout tables, easily accessed from inside the game, give detailed instructions, making this game easy to understand and play. Symbols include Iron Man, who represents the wild symbol, Tony Stark, his real identity, Stark’s office and yacht, Justin Hammer, Crimson Dynamo, Iron Man’s hand, alcohol and the Blue Print (important as this is the item Iron Man is searching for within this game). The scatter is represented by the Iron Man Logo.

The game’s highest fixed jackpot (6000 coins) is offered by the wild symbol, which, by the way, does not offer to multiply payouts. Two or more scatters will result in scatter payouts, while three or more will trigger the start of the Iron Man bonus game.

Although perfectly suited to the theme, the bonus game disappoints a little as it is a plain version of pick x from a y feature without many special goings on.

With Iron Man hovering outside a building, players choose five out of a possible nine windows for him to smash with his laser beam. Should no blue prints be revealed, the player will only receive a consolation prize. Revealing blue prints will result in the player winning up to 250 times the original, triggering bet.

As all Marvel slots, Iron Man is also connected to the three Marvel progressive jackpots, which are triggered randomly. This, in combination with the 6000-coin fixed jackpot, makes up a little for the lack of free spins round, although it would have been nice to see it included in this otherwise exciting, fun game.
