The Hulk Slots

For once, a company besides Microgaming has made an engaging and bonus-heavy online slot program to rival the best in the industry. Cryptologic software licensed the Hulk image for use in this game chock full of extra opportunities for slot players.

You can find the Hulk Slots game featured at casinos powered by Cryptologic software. Intercasino , William Hill, and Littlewood are just three of many casinos powered by Cryptologic software and which offer the Hulk slots.

All of these Marvel comics based slots deliver excellent graphics and top notch audio effects. This is the kind of game that online slot players have come to expect, and the competition between software developers has added even more fuel to the fire -- the bonus rounds available to players are fully animated, and dare I say entertaining?

Hulk slot machines are 9-reel / 5 pay line video slot machines which allow up to 45 credits to be wagered at once. Players can wager as little as $0.05 per credit up to a maximum bet of $5 per credit. The online Hulk slots game provides players with a scatter feature, bonus round, wild symbols, and three progressive jackpots to be won.

The wild symbol in the Hulk slot machine game is an image of the Hulk with an animated fist that smashes through the machine's logo. This wild symbol substitutes for any symbol (except the radiation symbols to be mentioned later) in order to complete winning jackpot combinations. As an example, the Hulk logo will double your winnings on any winning spin.

The maximum jackpot that can be won in The Hulk slots game is 5,000 credits. To win this jackpot, five Hulk symbols must line up on the active pay line. The odds against this may be steep, but most of the appeal for this game isn't its relative ability to make you rich, it is the fun you'll have while playing.

All pay lines pay from left to right. Should a player experience a glitch or have a quesiton about what's going on during this very visually busy game, that player can simply hit the "Pay table" tab during play -- this will provide you with not only the correct pay lines but also information on how they relate to the game rules.

The Hulk slot machine bonus round is triggered when three or more radiation symbols appear on your active pay line. When this happens, the slot machine action stops altogether, and you are taken to a fully animated game where the Hulk battles an army tank and a helicopter. The goal of the bonus game is to destroy the machines and find your way to the laboratory without dying. Sound more like a video game than a traditional online slot? Perhaps Cryptologic is pushing the envelope, because the game feels more like a video game than a slot machine.

You are given the option to choose which of these mighty pieces of military machineries you wish to, well, "smash". After all, as we all know, "Hulk smash". Your wins are awarded when you destroy the machines, and an added bonus is given if the Hulk makes it to the laboratory and destroys it as well. This is not as easy as it sounds, and requires a bit more video game finesse than the average online player might have. This game would be better suited if aimed at a slightly younger audience, as the video game bonus section seems more than a little distracting from the nature of the machine itself.

While playing the bonus, for instance, the military forces (in the game world) appear and take potshots at poor Hulk. You can monitor your "health" in the left hand corner of the screen, which shows a "life meter" much like what you would find on a traditional video game. Each shot fired at the Hulk reduces his life meter. If you choose the right machinery to destroy, you have the possibility of remaining unhurt, but choose the wrong machine to destroy and a shot will be fired right back at you and a point will be taken off your meter. The bonus round ends when the Hulk destroys the laboratory or when his life meter runs out.

The radiation symbols that appear from time to time double as scatters with wins multiplied by the total wager placed. In order to be awarded a win with a scatter symbol, at least two radiation symbols must appear. All wins with a scatter are doubled, naturally.

Any of the three Marvel jackpots can be won at any time. They're awarded randomly and there is no way to know when this will happen, in fact, your symbols don't even have to match. In other words, you could win at the Hulk slot machine without even technically "winning". Which jackpot you receive is based on how many credits you're betting. You'll know you've won a jackpot when the animated text appears on your screen advising you of which jackpot you've won.

As with any complex online slot machine, players really have to be on their toes. This may have the added bonus of making slot players more aware -- both of their surroundings and how much time and money they've spent as well as more aware to play the video game bonus. Keep up with the pace of the game, and you'll be rewarded greatly. Take too many deep breaths and take your eyes off the screen for just a moment, and you could lose a good bit of money. Which makes you angry. And I don't think I'd like you when you're angry.
