A player at a Microgaming online casino hit a €6 million jackpot on The Dark Knight slot game. The interest on this video slot has been rekindled as a result. This article reviews the salient features of The Dark Knight. It cannot be played for free on account of the progressive jackpot attached.

The Dark Knight is the only branded video slot attached to the Mega Moolah progressive network. It is based on the 2008 movie of the same name released by Warner Bros and featuring the popular DC Comics superhero Batman. Being a branded slot it uses content from the movie. The characters appear as symbols on the reels in their exact likeness. So you have Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes and Heath Ledger as the Joker. The Batman logo is the wild symbol and it appears stacked on the reels. The Joker graffiti is the scatter symbol.

The Dark Knight is a 243 ways to win slot game, a format Microgaming normally uses for its high profile video slots. The Cinematic Spins feature, first introduced in the Lord of the Rings, is loved by Batman fans. After you activate the spin, the reels disappear from the screen and a popular scene from the movie is played out. Then the reels reappear and come to a stop. After you have seen all the clips, you can disable the Cinematic Spins feature if you so desire. The scatter symbol triggers 15 free games in which the payout multiplier starts at 2x. Both the number of free spins and the multiplier may be randomly increased during the feature. Batman or the Joker may appear on the reels after any spin and award extra wild symbols and occasionally whole wild reels.

The Dark Knight is linked to the four-tier Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network. The jackpot round is triggered randomly. Each of the four jackpot tiers are indicated by a different colour on the wheel. You can decide whether you want Batman or the Joker to spin the wheel for you. When the wheel comes to a stop, the colour next to the pointer indicates which jackpot level is won. The Dark Knight is live at all Microgaming online casinos, such as All Slots, Platinum Play and Spins Palace. If you like this branded slot then you can try The Dark Knight Rises, which is based on the final movie of the trilogy.
