Punisher War Zone

The Punisher is a Marvel character that first appeared in print way back in 1974. The Punisher is Frank Castle an war veteran who has turned vigilante and fights crime with violent tactics. The popularity of character has seen hundreds of comics, several films and now an online slot based on The Punisher.

The game uses the 5 reel, 20 line format and has a max bet of 200 coins or 10 coins per line. In terms of coin sizes you can choose from as low as 0.01 to as high as 0.50. This gives you a max bet range of between 2.50 and 50.00 per game. Like all slots, the more you bet the bigger the potential wins.

The Frank Castle / Punisher symbols are wild and appear stacked on all reels. Line up five Frank Castle symbols and you win a big 10,000 coins or 100,000 coins at max bet. Due to the stacked wilds you can get a whole screen of Punisher symbols for a potential 2,000,000 coin jackpot. Even at the 0.01 coin size this pays a big $20,000.

As well as the stacked wilds you have a range of other symbols on the reels. The second highest line win is 1,000 coins for five of the knife bandits and the third highest line win is 500 coins for five of the the axe bandits. The two types of gun symbols pay 300 coins for five and from there the rest of the line wins are made up with the A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 symbols.

The Punisher logo is scattered but in a bit of a twist it does not activate any bonus feature. It still offers some good wins with five scatters paying 250X your total bet or 50,000 coins at max bet which is the games second highest base game pay.

The free spin feature on Punisher War Zone is a bit different from most other slots. Every time a Skull appears on a reel a skull lights up below that reel. Collect four skulls and you trigger the bonus which awards 2x your bet and 5 free games with wins doubled.

During the free games a skull appearing on any reel awards 5 extra games so while the triggering amount of free spins is low you can get many more free games once you are on the free spins. With the X2 multiplier the top jackpot grows to a big 4,000,000 coins for a whole screen of wild symbols.

While this is definitely a different way of awarding the free games it does mean that you can't just open the game and get the free spins on your first spin. There is a bit of good news in that the skulls are saved so you can come back at any time and you will still have the same amount of collected skulls.

Punisher War Zone has some amazing jackpot on the reels but it also offers some big progressive prizes. At any time you can be awarded a shot at the Mystery Marvel Jackpot bonus where you can win one of four progressives. On the bonus you pick symbols until you match three and win that jackpot. The top Ultimate Power jackpot starts at $100,000 and has been hit at over $1,000,000. The smaller jackpots are won very frequently.

In the end, Punisher War Zone has a lot of good points. You have stacked wilds on all reels, a good range of mid level pays, four random progressive jackpots and a unique style of free spins. The game is sure to be a popular part of the Marvel Jackpots network.
