Doctor Octopus is a fictional character, a supervillain that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics since 1963. A highly intelligent mad scientist, Doctor Octopus is one of Spider-Man's greatest foes. He is typically portrayed as a stocky, myopic man who utilizes four powerful, mechanical appendages, and is obsessed with proving his own genius and destroying Spider-Man. The character has appeared in numerous Spider-Man cartoons and video games and is portrayed by Alfred Molina in the 2004 film Spider-Man 2 as the film's main antagonist. It’s no wonder why Cryptologic decided to use this villain in their second slot game based on Spider-Man comic books.

“The Amazing Spider-Man Revelations” is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot from Cryptologic with a comic book theme. In the background you will see New York Yellow cabs, whilst the flanking columns are filled with green liquid and the line markers are topped by a Spider-Man logo. The reel icons include cracked safes, spiders, trains, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A icons, Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man. Each one is drawn to high standards and offers amazing animation when a winning combination is formed.

This slot will also give you a lot of chances to win decent prizes, especially when you trigger its generous special features, including Wilds, Scatters, Bonus games, Free Spins and multipliers.

Spider-Man is Wild and substitutes for all symbols except for Scatters and doubles prizes won with its help. If five of these icons appear on an active payline you’ll win the top payout of 5,000 coins, which equates to $25,000 when betting the highest stakes.

The Scatter in shape of game logo not only awards decent prizes when at least 2 such symbols appear anywhere on the reels, but also triggers The Doctor Octopus feature when you hit 3 such symbols. In this entertaining Bonus game you can win Free Spins or multipliers. Doctor Octopus will appear on top of a train and throw a passenger at Spider-Man. When the passenger is thrown, you will see a number of Free Spins and a multiplier, which you can either accept, or refuse and try again up to 2 times for a chance of a better prize. But remember that the third prize cannot be refused and it may be smaller than the first two prizes. If this feature is retriggered during Free Spins, the same number of Free Spins and the same multiplier will be awarded without repeating the feature.

As all Marvel slots, “The Amazing Spider-Man Revelations”  is linked to three progressive jackpots: Hero Jackpot, Super Hero Jackpot and the biggest Marvel Hero Jackpot. These Marvel Jackpots are awarded randomly, so you don’t need any matching symbols to win them. However remember that the size of the wager determines the chance of winning a jackpot. In other words, the bigger your bet, the more chances you have to win one of the jackpots.

All in all, “The Amazing Spider-Man Revelations”  looks great, has a variety of special features and offers decent prizes. If that isn’t exciting enough the slot also includes three progressive jackpots that can drop at any time. This slot will satisfy not only fans of the comic or film franchise, but it will also suit any gambler who enjoys a good themed slot with progressive jackpots and themed features.
