Playtech Launches New Marvel Themed Slot

Playtech on the heels of a blockbuster opening of Thor: The Dark World has released the newest Marvel themed slot Thor the Mighty Avenger at online casinos like Omni and Bet365.

Slot players that enjoy the Marvel Themed slots might want to play this one while they can, as it may well be the last of the Marvel slots. 

Thor the Mighty Avenger is an action packed slot with 5 reels, 30 paylines, progressive jackpots and lots of Wilds and scatters.

In the basic mode, the Thunderstorm Re-spin and the Lightening Free Spin features are activated by the Wilds.  Unlimited free spins can be won in the Jutenheim and Earth Free Game Feature.  The Rainbow Bridge feature gives players the choice of opening addition bonus game features.

The Marvel theme slots have proven a big hit with slot fans and are among Playtech’s most popular games.

However, the licensing deal for Marvel themed slots is likely to come to an end very shortly.

Disney, who now owns Marvel, has long been an opponent of expansion of land based casinos in Florida and opposes any non-tribal gaming in the state. Disney execs say that the expansion would damage the family friendly image of major cities like Orlando. Critics accuse Disney of trying to stave off competition for tourists dollars.  Critics also say that the licensing of Disney owned themes to the online and land based slot market is the ultimate in hypocrisy.

Disney execs said that any current Marvel licensing agreements will not be renewed when they expire shortly.  Star Wars themed slots probably face the same fate as Disney now also owns LucasFilms.
