I felt the might of a ring imbued with cosmic power in Green Lantern Online Slot by Playtech. The Green Lantern character is a DC comics icon, and this title is themed around the movie based on the story. The titular character hovers to the left of the reels, unleashing his powers when a bonus feature activates. I was bowled over by the slot’s theatrical feel, with clips from the movie integrated into the gameplay every time you land a win and images of major characters from the film as symbols. With a theoretical top of $1 million, this medium volatility game has a lot to offer.

The game’s crisp, clean layout features simple spin, Autoplay, and turbo spin controls beneath the reels.
The progressive jackpot indicators are perched on either side of the reels at the top. When you land a win, the collapsing wins mechanic will remove the winning symbol combinations and allow more symbols to fall into their place. This can potentially generate a string of wins, which will be crucial when it comes to the game’s bonus features.
When landing a collapsing win, a segment of the power bar on the bottom-right part of the screen light up. Landing 4 or more wins in a row will randomly trigger one of the three bonus feature missions. If you land 4 to 5 wins in a row, you receive one charge, 6 to 7 wins gets you 2 charges, and 8 or more wins puts you at 3 charges.
The Fear Flight mission features unlimited spins, where stacked wilds can appear on every spin. The more charges you have on your power bar, the more wilds you will get and the round will end once you have the maximum number of wilds in view.
The Training Center Mission starts you off with 10 free spins and random wilds will be added to the reels. In the Secret Sector mission, consecutive collapse wins increase a progressive win multiplier across 10 free spins.
Progressive Jackpot
The jackpot minigame can randomly trigger on any spin. A grid of hexagons will appear before you and you must click on them to reveal enough matching colours to win a corresponding progressive jackpot prize.
While the movie this title is based on didn’t meet expectations at the box office, this online slot of interpretation of Green Lantern is a hit in my opinion. The game’s presentation is spot-on with enough of the movie integrated to make it feel like an immersive cinematic experience. What captured my imagination was the bonus round, although triggering all 3 options did take some time and I felt a bit of frustration every time I was just short of a triggering collapse. You could bag a cool million from a single lucky spin of this game, but if you don’t you could always test your luck with other superhero-themed games like Diamond Force.
