It could be said that Batman is one of, if not the most popular comic book heroes. He’s a good guy, but also has that touch of rage inside that pushes him to the edge. Of course, he’s also found himself doing battle against some of Gotham’s most known criminals. From The Joker right through to Poison Ivy. However, one of his other enemies exists in the form of Edward Nigma, or The Riddler as he’s more commonly known. This game, with its title of Batman and The Riddler Riches, centres itself around the 1960s television series. That being said, you’ll find that Adam West takes on his role of Batman, while Burt Ward portrays Robin. Of course, if you have ever seen the TV series, you’ll know how full of colour it was. Therefore, this game, which comes courtesy of Playtech, features the exact same. There’s also a very intriguing piece of soundtrack music in the game too. This further enhances your gaming experience, ensuring you have a great time spinning the reels.

Do Battle Against the Mastermind, The Riddler

The general layout of the game should look fairly familiar to you if you’re a regular gamer. It features five reels and three rows, and you’ll also see that there are progressive jackpot totals on display. These can be seen above the reels – but more about this later. As far as the overall design of the game goes, it features various different symbols as well. These begin with four low paying icons, beginning with the statue bust and the yellow belt. There’s also the icon of The Riddler’s hat and gloves and another of Commissioner Gordon. Of course, a game such as this has to have its central characters within, so both Batman and Robin are present. Meanwhile, The Riddler is a third and final high paying standard symbol. Being a Playtech game, you’ll find that these icons all feature high quality graphics.

As well as its reels, rows and symbols, this game incorporates a total of 243 different ways to win. This is not something that you’re able to change so you will always be placing bets on such an amount. However, all gamers do have the option to adjust the value of the wager they place. This is done by using the plus and minus buttons at the bottom of the screen. There, you are able to switch between the minimum of £0.25 and the maximum of £60 per spin. There’s also the addition of a Turbo Mode button, allowing the reels to spin quicker. And furthermore, an ‘Autoplay’ option allows you to play up to 25 consecutive spins at the same wager level.

Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da Batman!

As far as special features go, Playtech is one of the best developers offering these in their games. To begin with, you’ll find that there’s a wild icon available within. The batman signal represents this offering and as a wild it substitutes for all others on the reels. The only exception to this is the scatter icon. Wilds only appear on reels two, three, four and five.

Additional specialities begin with the ‘Mystery Spins’ feature. This is something that you’re able to activate at random on any main game spin. For this round, you simply need to riddle your way to big wins. On any of these, The Riddler might appear and add mystery symbols to any location. These will then transform into one and the same icon in order to create wins.

The game’s scatter symbol is that of the green ‘Bonus‘ offering. Three of these showing up on reels one, two and three will activate the bonus wheel round. With this, you need to spin the wheel to trigger one of three special features for the freespins round. These begin with the freespins round that features sticky wilds. These can land on any spin and will stick on the reels up to the third wave. There’s also the round that features multipliers. Finally, the last bonus round is the box bonus. Simply open boxes to reveal cash prize values.

To finish off, the game is also a part of the multi-level progressive jackpot network from Playtech. Any of the four jackpots can be won on any spin as the jackpot round is a random activation.

To Summarise
