Microgaming to explode into superhero-themed slots with Hellboy
Of all the superhero movie franchises within the 20-year deluge, perhaps the oddest of all to achieve mainstream success was Hellboy. Mike Mignola’s tale of Hellboy and his Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (or BPRD) tasked with protecting America and the world from the occult, paranormal and supernatural, first won over comic-book fandom and later Hollywood with its original storyline and kickass character.
This month, perhaps in response to the recent run of Marvel Comics-themed slots released by Playtech and the wave of superhero slots flooding the market in general, Hellboy gets the online slots treatment courtesy of Microgaming. Fans of Microgaming pokies know what to expect – namely, fantastic bonus rounds, highest production values, and a sweet little surprise innovation hidden somewhere in gameplay – and thus should be awaiting this particular game (especially because of its rumored high-high licensing price) with much fervor.
