To be perfectly honest, we have long talked about the time when Playtech will finally withdraw their Marvel themed slots from the online casino world. We had heard that it would be in October last year, and that was bumped back to Christmas, and then New Year. The latest we’ve heard – and the deadline seems pretty official this time – is the end of March.
Not Long To Go
According to our sources, if you are planning on spinning the reels of Playtech’s superhero themed Marvel Mystery Progressive Jackpot Network slot machine games, you’d better get a crack on. This multitude of slots will soon no longer be with us.The decision actually stems back to 2013, when Disney snapped up Marvel, and decided that they did not want “their” franchises to be a part of the gambling scene, in a move which infuriated gamers across the net.
DC Games
Playtech has since developed several top slots to replace the Marvel themed games. Whilst we assumed that their new DC Universe themed games would be the eventual replacements for the Marvel slots, most of these contain new features. If you want the same selection of features as in the Marvel games, then the Age of Gods series of titles are the slots you need to play.Iron Man 2’s gaming structure is duplicated in King of Olympus, whilst the Incredible Hulk and Fantastic Four structures are reminiscent of those found in Prince of Olympus, and Furious Four. The Avengers will be replaced by the basic Age of Gods slot, whilst the Goddess of Wisdom slot will take on the features found in Elektra.So, you have a mere week to try your hand one last time at the Marvel progressive jackpots. After that, they are set to be pulled by Playtech, leaving players forced to play the Age of Gods series if they want a similar style of gameplay.
