One of the biggest trends in online gaming is for casino games developers to tie up with movies,
musicians and other bastions of pop culture to create blockbuster slot games. As so much time,
money and effort gets put into the productions, the results can end up being spectacular. There are
literally 100s of casino games out there based on your favourite movies, musicians and tv shows.
Below we have highlighted five of the best:
Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones is arguably the most important example of pop culture in the 21 st Century so far,
one that will have fans discussing theories and thoughts many years from now. The online slot game
– created by Microgaming a few years ago – is officially licensed from the show, featuring plenty of
imagery from the Starks, Lannisters and the rest. You can play the games with either 243 paylines or
just 15. Game of Thrones slot has been around for a bit, and while most of it still holds up, there are
some parts of the game that could be improved upon. In short, we think it’s high time for a sequel.
Justice League & Wonder Woman
Justice League & Wonder Woman are two separate casino games, but we are lumping the together
because we are big fans of the Princess of the Amazons who appears in both. You can sign up to play
those games at Mansion Casino, which also hosts more connected games in the DC Comics universe.
All of them share a progressive jackpot game, which could pay out a life-changing sum of money.
However, we have picked Justice League and Wonder Woman out as the cream of the crop. The
former is based on the movie, featuring real images and clips. The latter is based more on the
Wonder Woman comic books. Both are awesome.
Marilyn Monroe
Who isn’t a fan of Marilyn Monroe? An icon to match Wonder Woman, but in a different way. The
Marilyn Monroe slot by Playtech is designed to capture all the images of old Hollywood, and really
puts Monroe on a pedestal. Because of the game’s theme, there is perhaps an assumption that this
isn’t a serious casino game. However, there is a lot going on here that should attract serious casino
players, including a high-paying set of bonus games and a tremendous jackpot.
Motorhead Video Slot
If you are going to choose a band as the basis for your online slot game and you want the result to
be spectacular, you might as well pick a heavy metal band. There are, in fact, loads of rock-themed
slots out there, including Guns N’ Roses and Ozzy Osbourne. However, we believe that Motorhead is
the best of the lot, with tonnes of cool features and plenty of sounds from the iconic rockers. The
game’s bonus feature can also lead to mammoth wins.
Gladiator: Road to Rome
The movie world has been buzzing with the news that Ridley Scott is making a sequel to Gladiator, so
it’s fitting that there has also been a recent sequel to the officially licensed Gladiator slot. It’s difficult
to judge if this game is better than the original, as it was so beloved by casino players. However,
there are some intriguing new features and bonus games added to Road to Rome to make it worth
trying. Moreover, both games share the awesome Gladiator Jackpot – one of the biggest you will
find at online casinos.
