The Flash Slot Review
I’ve always been a fan of The Flash aka The Fastest Man Alive. Now we have a slot game from Cryptologic based on the DC superhero. They’re a company who have produced some good Marve games in the past and now it’s the turn of DC to be in the spotlight. Let’s hope you can get a good win and that’s not a flash in the pan and lots more follow.
This is a five-reel slot game that has three rows of symbols and you can play up to 50 paylines in basic play. It’s entirely up to you to have a flash of inspiration and decide how many to activate. Playing the game can cost you between £0.02 and £200 so ideal for those just wanting a bit of fun and others looking for the chance to win some big prizes. If you want too you can activate the bonus bet which gives you an extra ten paylines to play with. It does cost you more though and puts the minimum cost of playing up to £1.20. You have to be playing with the bonus bet if you want to activate the main bonus here, so keep an eye on your financial budget, we don’t want to see you losing your money in a flash.
Symbols in the game include The Flash, a speedometer and a pair of fast moving legs. We also get three of his greatest enemies namely Gorilla Grodd, Mirror Master and Captain Cold. Even the Jack to Ace symbols get in on the theme with some red flashes attached to them. When the Flash and his enemies form part of winning combinations there’s some animation which is really good.
The Flash is the wild symbol here and can substitute for other symbols to get wins. There’s also the Flash logo which is the scatter symbol and helps activate the main feature.
During the base game the Flash can zoom across the screen and turn other symbols wild on his way. The reels then get re-evaluated and any new wins paid out.
To find out all the information about the game access the paytable. Then have a few free games to see how all the special features play out.
Bonus Games
To activate the Rogues Feature Free Spins you need to get three or more of the Flash scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. This means you can reduce the number of lines you activate on each spin of the reels if you want. You get 12 free spins and there’s also some additional extras.
There’s the Captain Cold feature that happens when the Flash appears, the villain can then freeze the whole reel and then award you one respin. The Mirror Master feature is randomly awarded and can replay your last four spins. Then there’s the hug Gorilla Grodd who adds a random wild on each spin. If The Flash wild helps you form a winning combo there’s a possibility of a multiplier up to 10x.
Conclusion
There’s a lot to like about this game. The design may be a bit basic but it brings back so many memories of the comics I used to have. Be careful with your budget here because it is a good idea to activate the bonus bet as that’s the only way into the free spins round.
