Real Life Super Heroes

Spinmatic’s adventuresome Real Life Superheroes slot is a stylish, noir five-reel affair with a variety of free spin bonuses available. Players can help a trio of superheroes defeat their nemesis, Ted Faker, earning big payouts in the process.

Theme

The design team at Spinmatic has conjured up a gritty cityscape as the setting for this slot. The reels sit on a chain-link fence before a deserted, dirty urban landscape, perfect for violent crime and those who would fight against it. Gaming symbols include a detailed cast of characters, including the mixed martial artist and heroine Phoenix Jones, her superhero colleagues NYX and Mr. Extreme, Lt. Dwight Callahan, their ally on the police force, a leprechaun-like villain, Ms. Jones in street clothes, and a hooded hostage. The playing card symbols ace through jack act as lower-value symbols. The severe supervillain Ted Faker acts as wild, and a symbol bearing this game’s title acts as scatter. A hard rock soundtrack, with dominant electric guitar riffs, adds to a sense of danger and adventure.

Betting Options and Functions

Supervillains are known for their intricate, evil plans, but Spinmatic’s design team matches that famed attention to detail in their approach to this game’s finer points. There are 30 paylines, each paying from left to right. Bet level is set simply from 0.30–120.00 times the betting currency per spin. Autoplay is available for up to 100 spins, or without limit, with optional loss limits available on a separate screen. Player options, payline information, game rules, quick spin, and more are available via an expanding menu at the upper right corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is slightly below average at 94.58%

Features

As is usually the case in modern slots, player’s best chances for big wins appear via a free spin feature. The bonus is triggered by the appearance of three or more scatter symbols on the reels; once triggered, players can choose between three varieties of free spin. Phoenix Jones offers 20 free spins with a 2x win multiplier; NYX offers 10 free spins with a 4x multiplier, while Mr. Xtreme offers 5 free spins with a 10x multiplier. Whichever options players choose, the feature can be re-triggered.

Our Take

Real Life Superheroes takes place in an immersive, well-made gaming world, and its bonus feature offers a refreshing element of player choice into the gaming process. With that said, the bonus feature alone is not enough to make this slot stand out in a market filled with interesting online slots – especially considering its below-average RTP, this slot is unlikely to linger on any player’s radar for long.
