My two favourite Microgaming games are: The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Both slots are great, both feature amazing graphics and are packed with special features. I always have problems with deciding which of these two slots to play, so I decided to finally choose my favourite one.
As for the movies, I preferred the first one with incredible Heath Ledger as the Joker and in my opinion the slot based on this movie matches up to it. I found the second movie rather boring, probably because Bane played by Tom Hardy was much more predictable than the Joker. Therefore, I expected The Dark Knight Rises slot to be also boring, but to my surprise, Microgaming created a game that is much better than the movie.
Well, it’s high time compare these two slots. Both slots are dark and feature real images and videos from the movies. Of course, I prefer the one with the Joker on the reels, but it’s the only reason why I choose this game, as both slots look great. Both slots have 5 reels and 243 ways to win, but only The Dark Knight has a huge progressive jackpot. What a pity Microgaming didn’t include one in the second slot! So as for now, it’s 2:0 for The Dark Knight.
Let’s now focus on special features offered by these games. As I said, The Dark Knight has a progressive jackpot (four progressive jackpots to be precise) that can be won during a Bonus Wheel game that can be triggered randomly. If you hit the Mega Jackpot you will win at least 1 million dollars! There are also Stacked Wilds, Scatters and Free Spins with multipliers. Watch the promo video to see how these features look like.
The Dark Knight Rises, on the other hand, has standard and expanding Wilds, the innovative Symbol Scramble feature, which makes all symbols on the reels shuffle, the amazing Free Spins Accumulator feature, during which Batman and Bane fight in front of the reels increasing your number of Free Spins and multipliers, Free Spins with Rolling Reels or Super Stacked Wilds, as well as two great features called Extra Wild Blasts and Heat Seeking Wilds. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Just take a look at the promo video!
Well, when it comes to special features The Dark Knight Rises definitely wins. But the overall score is 2:1 for The Dark Knight. Although some of you may argue that amazing special features found in The Dark Knight Rises slot guarantee bigger wins, I still believe I will hit that whopping progressive jackpot offered by The Dark Knight one day. Of course I won’t give up playing The Dark Knight Rises, but I think I’ve just found my favourite slot.
And which of these to amazing games will you choose?
