Wazdan’s futuristic superhero-themed title Reel Hero has claimed our coveted Slot of the Week.

Launched on a Curacao licence on June 10, the slot is scheduled to become available in other regulated markets from August 12 of this year.

This five reel, 20-payline online slot allows players to join superheroes as they fight space-age creatures to claim special features, such as Wild and Scatter symbols and free spin bonuses for ultimate prizes.

Andrzej Hyla, head of sales at Wazdan, said: “Reel Hero is a highly entertaining slot game with a futuristic feel that players of all backgrounds can enjoy.

“With a rich narrative, many unique bonuses and the very best of Wazdan’s tech expertise weaved into Reel Hero, we’re expecting it to quickly rise the ranks as a player and operator favourite.”

The symbols, apart from the superheroes, include royals, stars, lucky 7’s and bells. Each leading character within the game has their own secret weapon which players gain access to as bonuses. 

The Altiera bonus shoots random Wild symbols with a plasma gun and awards addition wins once hit. Rich’s bonus hacks the reel system, when the bonus is activated it expands a wild symbol to cover the entire reel and lock it for a free re-spin.

Victoria shifts the reels to the right and sets the first reel in motion to create a new winning combination. The fourth and final character, Jax, uses a super-sonic weapon to shoot winning symbols out of the reels to create a new winning combination. 

Wazdan’s Gamble feature allows players to participate in a futuristic race, where ‘ultra-fast’ vehicles could double the player’s wins.

The RTP in this game is set at 96.14 per cent with Wazdan allowing the players to choose their own volatility.
