An entire genre of superheroic slots based on the iconic characters created by America's Marvel Comics have become legends amongst keen online slot players, and The Incredible Hulk still ranks as one of the most popular despite now being one of the oldest 'Marvel Slots'.
Created by Playtech, The Incredible Hulk is one truly, mean, green slot machine – although by 'mean' we mean it's fierce rather than stingy, if you see what we mean? Grafting appropriate symbols from this green giant's tale onto its five reels, The Incredible Hulk slot now offers players fifty paylines, doubling the tally originally seen when this game debuted a few years back.
With his notorious anger management issues, it is fitting that Dr David Banner's hulking great alter-ego is this online slot's Wild, substituting for all but the Scatter and Smash Bonus symbols.
Beyond such traditional Wild qualities, the Hulk has extra powers to smash wins from spins if you find him in certain situations. Trapped on the centre reel, he will get proper angry and expand to fill the whole reel with his wild behaviour then activate two re-spins of all other reels.
This Expanding Wild feature can also apply to reels 2,3, and 4 simultaneously too with a single re-spin of the remaining reels on this occasion.
The Expanding Hulk's potential to punish this slot's paytable in the basegame is great, but he can also rage hard in the fee spins bonus feature too. This round of ten free spins is triggered if three or more of the Scatter Symbols are in view, and if the Expanding Hulk Wild has a hand in any wins during this bonus they get paid out at three times the paytable value. Re-triggers are also possible in this feature, so it can become an awesome source of big wins for lucky players.
Should you need any more reasons to try out this online slot for yourself, there's the Incredible Hulk's Smash Bonus feature to get worked up about too. Brought into play should you see the Smash Bonus Scatter symbol drop into view on reels 1 and 5, this transports you to a gritty urban standoff with our minty hero in a bit of a pickle with the police and US military.
Trapped by seven squad cars and in the sights of three Apache gunships, you guide the understandably het up Hulk to mash up three motors and one helicopter to unleash cash and multipliers for his efforts. Better yet, if the Hulk Rage feature is randomly triggered at this stage, he'll oblige you with a right barney to wreck everything in sight, winning you even more cash in the process. Smashing fun indeed!
Fans of Marvel will easily fall for the charms of the Incredible Hulk slot, but even if you've never considered Playtech's Marvel slots as 'your thing', we think this game could well make you think again.
It's got a superb set of features and high production values that make it extremely compelling, plus the potential for big wins is ever present for those players that can really rile the misunderstood monster on these reels.
