The Flash

The Flash is a 5-reel, 50 payline slot, playable across all kinds of devices and accepting bets in the range between 0.5 and £500. The symbols you will land on the reels include A, K, Q, and J royals, the Flash and the Reverse Flash logos. The other symbols include a male, a hooded character, and a masked character. There are no in-game modifiers. The slot is devoid of a wild symbol, although random wilds might be placed. The Flash/ Reverse flash characters facing each other trigger the bonus round.

Battle Spins

When you land 5 scatters on the reels, the Battle feature is triggered and you are awarded 5x your stake. Before the start of the battle feature, you have to take the side of the Hero or the Villain. The free spins feature ends when the five bonus prizes above the reels are collected either by the Hero or the Villain. If your chosen character wins at least 3 prizes, all bonus prizes will be awarded. If he fails to win at least 3 prizes, you get only the value of the prizes collected by him.

The Flash Slot Jackpots

The Flash is a DC Comic series slot and as such, it comes with a DC Super Heroes Jackpot feature attached. When you load the game, you will see 20 cells, containing different coloured balls. You keep collecting balls until all energy balls needed for triggering one of the jackpots (mini, Minor, Major, and Grand) are revealed.

Bottom Line

To be perfectly honest, we expected Playtech to go the extra mile to make sure the Flash is on par with the competitors’ branded slots. Instead, it comes with a no-frills design, and a bit dull base game. The requirement to collect 5 scatters to trigger the free spins will probably be a dealbreaker to most players. Still, it may prove us wrong once it goes live across all Playtech casinos in April, 2019.
