The Incredible Hulk

Many of us have always loved characters from cartoons and comics. And thanks to their high popularity, these characters can now be found everywhere: in TV ads, on cereal boxes, and now even in slot machines. This ever growing trend has recently been supported by Cryptologic, which released another Marvel slot with a familiar, superhero theme and title – “The Incredible Hulk”.

This is an interesting 5-reel, 25-payline slot, with a rather authentic turn on the comics theme – it doesn’t stick to the hi-tech cinematic graphics similar to the one in movies, but opts to remain dedicated to the comics-like graphics, which is much simpler, but also more genuine. It’s perhaps too plain for Marvel series fans, which are used to more demanding graphics. However, it is linked to Marvel’s Hero Jackpot, Super Hero Jackpot and Marvel Hero Jackpot, all awarded randomly, but still depending on the bet amount. And there are also some standard special symbols and features which may make your day if you don’t get lucky enough to hit a big jackpot: wilds, scatters, as well as free spins and multipliers, triggered by an interactive bonus round.

In terms of how much you will spend on this slot, it depends entirely on your payment ability. “The Incredible Hulk” offers an impressive range of bet amounts that will fit both those with deep pockets as well as those who prefer to risk less. Namely, the coin denominations start from $0.01 and move up to $4, but it’s worth keeping in mind that the larger the bet, the better your chances to win one of the above mentioned jackpots.

Special Features:

Yeah, “The Incredible Hulk” is somewhat simpler than one may expect from a Marvel slot. However, its creators did their best to keep players interested in the game, and the slot’s special features certainly contribute to the thrill of the game. First of them comes the Hulk wild symbol, which serves to replace other symbols, except scatter, and help form more winning combinations. What’s excellent about it is that the prizes formed with Hulk’s help will be doubled.

The second special symbol is the Explosion scatter, three or more of which trigger a second screen bonus, in which player acts as Hulk, picking one of the five offered objects and throwing them at one of the five helicopters in order to reveal a prize which consists of free spins and a multiplier. Once you reveal a prize, you can either keep it or throw again to get another, different prize, which you then must keep. The feature can be retriggered during the free spins, and you’ll be awarded with the same free games and multiplier. However, as generous as the feature may be in terms of the number of free spins and multipliers, the free games themselves are rather stingy, and you can find yourself earning as little as $90 through as much as 120 free spins with a 4x multiplier.

If someone asked me to recommend “The Incredible Hulk” I wouldn’t entirely deny it my good opinion. There’s something bold in its simplicity, which one has to respect, but there’s also the feeling that many things could have been done better. But putting its good sides on one side of a scale and its flaws on the other, the good would prevail, which is why it deserves to be tried out if you like such a theme.
