Captain America The First Avenger Slots

Captain-America-The-First-AvengerIf you’ve been following the superhero and comic book genres, you’re probably aware at the very least of the Captain America franchise, in case you’re not a big fan already. This game is inspired by a film which was released in 2011, also called “Captain America: The First Avenger”. Captain America, one of the heroes from the Marvel Comics universe, is the star of the film and also the main character in this slot machine. The design is made in the Playtech studios.

You will activate a maximum of 20 paylines in Captain America, and in exchange you will have some very cool features (free spins, multiple wilds, multipliers, scatters and bonus games) and a progressive jackpot from Marvel which is quite impressive on its own. Regular payouts go up to $250,000.

Features of Captain America The First Avenger

Both sides of the conflict from the movie are represented in this game. You have the wild Nazi and the wild Captain America, you have free spins which they both contribute to along with a scatter, and there are multipliers which come from both sides.

The two types of wilds which are used by the game have the two main characters to represent them, Captain America and the Villain. Both wilds can substitute for all symbols, the exceptions being the Captain America Shield and the Free Games scatter. While wilds can substitute for any symbols, they only multiply by 2x the prizes from the symbols which are from their side. Each wild can act as a substitute for three symbols.

Prizes are also offered by the two wilds, the symbols having to land multiple matching icons on the same line, and in the process paying up to 5,000x if this happens.

A Captain America Shield is one of the scatters present in this game. Its only role in this case seems to be that of a trigger for cash prizes. The rewards vary in the 2x to 100x range, multiplying the total bet instead of the line bet.

Super Energy Free Games

The free spins in this slot are triggered by the presence of three different types of symbols, on certain reels. The requirement is for Captain America to be on the 1st reel, for The Free Games scatter to be on the 3rd, and for the Villain to be on the 5th reel. Get all three symbols on the right reels, and your reward will be this feature.

You get started with an initial number of 4 free spins. You can collect shields in the picking feature which comes next, which can give you all sorts of cool options for the free spins. You can get extra free spins, a maximum of 12 extra rounds being possible. You can also get bigger multipliers, reaching a value of up to 3x. You can get a symbol which has the power to retrigger the free spins when it appears on the 3rd reel. You can get one or both of the main characters as expanding wilds. Finally, you can get the Hero & Villain Super Spins.

Super Spins

In case you get the Super Spins triggered, you will find that there are two types which you have access to. You have the Villain Super Spin and the Hero Super Spin.

The game gives you a wild reel with the patron of the super spin, plus symbols which it can substitute for only, meaning only the three that are on the same side.

Betting options and jackpots

You can use a single coin for each payline, so you modify the bet mostly by changing the denomination. The highest value is $50, the smallest one is $0.01. If you bet on all the lines, the bets range from $0.20 to $1,000.

Regular prizes will offer up to 5,000 coins for a combo, which would mean up to $250,000. Two different symbols can offer this amount.

The other big prize in the slot is the progressive jackpot which is offered by Marvel directly in all their titles. The names of these jackpots are Ultimate Power, Super Power, Extra Power and Power. You get them through a bonus game which is triggered at random at the end of a spin.

Design and symbols

The game has graphics which try to follow the Captain America motif and they’re based on his background. There are metallic betting options and displays, a good look for a slot machine where the story takes place somewhere during World War 2 originally. The reels are filled with symbols that have poker cards on them, a bad decision on the part of Playtech, since a movie with as many fans as this one has would’ve deserved more attention.

Symbols: Captain America (wild, 5,000 coins), Nazi Villain (wild, 5,000 coins), Free Games Logo (scatter), Captain America Logo (100x the bet, scatter), Captain America Shield (2,000 coins), Nazi Shield (2,000 coins), American Soldier (300 coins), Armor Suit (300 coins), Super Soldier Tag (150 coins), Nazi Cross (150 coins), Ace (80 coins), King (80 coins), Queen (60 coins), Jack (60 coins), 10 (40 coins) and 9 (40 coins).

Is It Worth Playing?

The game has plenty of things going for it, including its theme, its features, the progressive jackpots and even the fixed prizes. The poker cards are the only ones ruining the experience somewhat.

A 2011 Film, Captain America: The First Avenger

This slot was themed around the 2011 film called Captain America: The First Avenger. Based on the Marvel Comics stories, the movie focuses on Steve Rogers and tells how Captain America came to be, a sickly man becoming this powerful super hero. For the most part, the story which is told takes place in the 40s, during World War 2. The box office numbers mention $370 million that were collected through tickets sold after launch. Additional films in the series were released in the next few years.

Captain America The First Avenger can be found at any Playtech casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
