This week, Marvel Comics announced that there will be no more new Marvel Superhero slots games. The company will no longer be renewing its licensing agreements with online slots developers, so we will also start to see games like The Hulk, The Fantastic Four and Blade disappear from the online casino world.
The Marvel Superhero series is very popular among online casino players, so Slots Temple has put together a list of alternative games that you may want to try.
Disney’s Acquisition Means No More Marvel Slots
In 2009, Disney acquired Marvel Comics. At the time, Disney did not make mention of the company’s licensing deals with slots operators PlayTech and Cryptologic. However, now that their agreements are up for renewal, Disney has decided to take a stand.
Since the company is dedicated to producing family-friendly entertainment, it is likely that Disney decided that it would be inappropriate for its characters to be featured in casino games and slot machines.
Cryptologic's DC Slots
Since Marvel slots will be disappearing from the online casino world, it might be time to start exploring DC slots. Detective Comics is Marvel’s rival, producing characters like Batman and Superman.
Cryptologic has produced a series of games based on these characters. Batman, Superman, The Green Lantern and Wonder Woman all have their own slots games in the online casino world.
They boast vibrant graphics in the style of comic book art as well as generous and innovative bonus games.
Microgaming’ Dark Knight Series
While Cryptologic’s Marvel slots feature comic book-styled themes, Playtech’s games are more closely based on the film versions of Marvel superheroes. So, if you prefer PlayTech’s slots, Microgaming’s The Dark Knight series may be your next best bet.
These games are based on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight films, featuring clips from the movies and characters like Alfred, Batman, Bane, Commissioner Gordon and The Joker.
These slots are also linked to a generous progressive jackpot network, much like the Marvel Superhero series.
IGT’s Star Trek Series
Disney has also purchased Lucas Arts, which means that there will be no more Star Wars-themed slots game. Star Wars slots are more prevalent in the land-based gambling market, but their presence will still be missed.
As an alternative, we can suggest IGT’s Star Trek series. We know that fans of either brand will scoff at the suggestion that Star Trek and Star Wars are comparable, but it is believable when it comes to online slots.
They are both high-quality, science-fiction themed slots games that provide players with a number of bonus games.
