Marvel Slots May Come to an End
Online casino software providers, such as Playtech, have been offering the very popular slots that are based on the Marvel characters. Although there is no definite decision at this time, the word is out that Marvel slots may come to an end over the next couple of years. Marvel themed slots, such as the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man I & II, Blade, Daredevil, X-men, and Spiderman: Attack of the Green Goblin, are amongst the more popular slots at Playtech powered online casinos. Cryptologic also offers Marvel slots, such as Thor, and Wolverine. Marvel slots have been offered in online casinos since 2009, and players in Canada and the rest of the world have been enjoying these great branded slots.
Disney to Phase Out Marvel Slots
Marvel is owned by Disney, and it appears that Disney has chosen to take a step back from being associated with the gambling industry, including both the land based and the online gambling entities. With Disneyworld based in Florida, and with land based casinos in Florida in the process of expansion, it seems that Disney feels that receiving and encouraging revenues from gambling does not fit in with the image of a family-friendly company.
It will still take two to three years before the current licensing agreements expire, which means that players should not be concerned about this possible change in their online games choice. It is likely that other brands will simply fill in the gap if Disney refuses to renew the Marvel slots licenses.
Marvel Progressive Jackpot Hit
The Marvel games at Playtech come with a special progressive jackpot on four levels. These special Marvel slots progressive jackpots add another great dimension to playing the Marvel branded video slot games. The Ultimate Power Jackpot was hit earlier this week for $568,391.
While winning over $500,000 is a great prize, this is not the only hit that has taken place on the Ultimate Power Jackpot recently. In fact, over the past seven weeks, this is the third time that this jackpot has been hit for a good sized win. Nearly seven weeks ago, the Marvel Ultimate Power Jackpot was hit for over a million. The lucky player who hit this progressive jackpot was awarded the incredible amount of $1,088,473. Just two days after one player had become an instant millionaire, another lucky player won a jackpot prize of $221,302. With the most recent hit of more than half a million, the Ultimate Power progressive slot jackpot is certainly one for Canadian players to keep an eye on.
