Fans of Marvel comics will soon be able to play a number of superhero-themed slot machines thanks to online casino operator PartyGaming.

The company has announced details of a deal with gaming software developer Cryptologic, which has agreed to license a new series of slots based on popular characters such as Spider-Man, Hulk and The Fantastic Four.

Appearing on PartyGaming's online portals of the next few months, the games will join a number of existing branded slot offerings such as The Godfather, Saturday Night Fever and Top Gun.

"Cryptologic is well known for the quality of its software and many of the games … are already proven successes in the online gaming world," commented PartyGaming's chief executive officer Jim Ryan.

Meanwhile, Cryptologic president Brian Hadfield said his firm was "delighted" to confirm the deal, which could signal the beginning of "a long-term and profitable relationship".
