Black Widow is one of the best looking slots we have come across for a good while now. The game includes some stunning graphics and the music that accompanies it certainly adds a little eeriness to the whole experience. We were pleased to see that the game, designed by IGT, has developed into something that the company can be proud of and the inclusion of a number of key features, discussed below, definitely gives the slot depth.
We were really pleased to see that they have adopted the 5 reel, 40-payline version for Black Widow. On top of that you get to play through a number of exciting features, wilds and free spins round, all adding to the longevity of the slot.
Special Features
Wilds
The Black Widow logo will act as the wild for this game and will substitute itself in for any symbol, except for any captures. The captures are essentially the portraits of people, and these signifies that that person has been captured.
The game also includes a number of super stacked icons, and each reel will have a number of stacked icons that all appear consecutively. The stacks will vary for each spin but this feature will add to the likelihood that you can get a number of the same icon across multiple reels, resulting in a large payoff.
Bonus Icon
To activate the free spins bonus round you need to collect 9 of the bonus feature icons on reels 2,3 and 4. Once you’ve filled these up the bonus round will begin, initially with just 7 free spins to get you going. However, as you progress this number can be re-triggered by getting 9 bonus icons on the same 3 reels again. It will keep going in multiples of 7, and the most you can get from one game is 98.
The free spins will also activate the web capture feature. This means that if you capture the same person (male or female) in the centre reel then it will pay out for this capture. Initially it will give you three times the original value, but if you capture the same person multiple times, then this will be multiplied up to 13 times their worth.

Verdict
Black widow is probably one the best slots that we have tested for a while now. The design and theme is something that we were very impressed with and at no point did the graphics ever get frustrating or the gameplay too confusing. The inclusion of a 40-payline is probably our highlight though, along with the stacked icons to increase pay outs again.
