Do you know the story of the Punisher? No matter if you’ve read the comic book, played the computer game or watched the film, you will probably remember the deadly man, who waged a one-man war on the mob, who killed his wife and two children, and all criminals in general by using all manner of conventional war weaponry.  As you probably remember, the Punisher employed murder,  coercion, threats of violence, kidnapping, extortion and torture in his war on crime. If you want to join the Punisher, who was driven by pure, simple revenge and you are not afraid of watching excessive violence, you should give “The Punisher” slot a try!

Created by Cryptologic, “The Punisher” is a 5-reel, 9-payline hugely entertaining slot, which employs the art style of the original Marvel comic book. On the reels you will find the Punisher, his logo, grenades, shotgun shells, sniper scopes, dog tags, the Punisher’s jacket, cop lights, stogies, and many more. The symbols have cool sound effects attached to them, and most of them animate when they form part of a winning combination. “The Punisher” has gritty comic book style graphics and symbols, which gives it a good look and will not disappoint fans of the original comic book.

The game also offers a few special features, which will make it even more entertaining. 

The Punisher himself is the Wild symbol. He substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning combinations, except for the Scatter. What is more, if five Wilds appear on reels 1-5, you will win 5000x your bet.

Interestingly, if Punisher appears anywhere on reels 1 and 5 at the same time, you will trigger the Free Spins. You will be awarded with 10 Free Spins, during which all prizes will be doubled. You can win more Free Spins during this feature and you can trigger the second bonus game.

If three or more Scatters, represented by the Punisher skull logo, appear from left to right, you will trigger the Punisher Villain Hunt Bonus feature, in which you will have to shoot at gangsters for cash. You’ll be taken to the second screen with a 12-windowed building. You will be asked to select five of these windows. Each window will reveal a villain or 10 Free Spins. You can win up to 200X your bet. All prizes during the Free Spins will be doubled. 

As all Cryptologic games based on Marvel comic books, this slot is also linked to three progressive jackpots which start seeding at $50, $500, and $5,000 respectively, with no top limit. These progressive jackpots are all won randomly, which means you don’t even need to match any symbols. You can increase your chances to win by increasing your bet. These progressives are growing and being contributed by every instance of “The Punisher” at every Cryptologic casino worldwide. They are waiting to be hit whether you are playing or not – somebody is going to win them and it could be you! When you are awarded one of the Marvel Jackpots, animated text with the name of the jackpot you have won will appear to let you know which progressive jackpot you have won: the Hero Jackpot, Super Hero Jackpot or Marvel Hero Jackpot. 

All in all, “The Punisher” is a great game with many generous special features. The graphics taken from the original comic book and the possibility to win one of the three progressive jackpots will provide you with good entertainment for a long while.
