Video Games That Have Become Successful Online Slots

by Jason Smith

The online slot industry is a highly competitive one with plenty of games to choose from. When a company looks at what games it should be releasing, selecting a subject that has already had success in another genre is a good idea.

There’s already an in-built audience and that’s why many video games have subsequently become online slots. Successfully adapting a video game can lead to success in the slots world. Together with the newsites.co.uk team let’s take a look at three video games that have become successful as new online slots.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Keeping the fans of the original video game happy is so important. Changing characters or watering down certain elements of the game won’t make the slot popular. The idea is that the fans will start playing the slot and as well as getting some good wins, seeing their memories of playing the video game come flooding back.

As is the case with video games and movies, their creators want to produce a franchise. Something like ‘Superman’ or ‘Harry Potter’ that can see several releases. The title of this slot game illustrates how popular the ‘Call of Duty’ slot games have been. Again, as with the other genres, there is the need to make the sequels different from the original hit but of course retain the key elements that created the initial success.

That’s definitely what is happening in this online slot. There’s no need to be concerned when a hand grenade is thrown onto the reels. Their arrival will see more Battle Scenes be added to the game and that can lead to some good wins and you don’t need to trigger this feature either.

You do the other bonus features that are seen in this game. It’s time for a battle in the second screen game. Being a bit bloodthirsty can help here because the more kills you can get, then the higher the number of free spins you will receive. Kill five soldiers in a row and you get a higher multiplier too. All of which creates a very entertaining slot game.

Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword

Ever since Lara Croft was first introduced to video gamers, the character has been hugely popular. It was a foregone conclusion that ‘Tomb Raider’ would find success in other genres. That has certainly been the case with movies and television series. Then, Microgaming were given the task of turning ‘Tomb Raider’ into an online slot game.

It’s not the easiest of tasks because fans of the video game will keep an eagle eye on what is created. Microgaming has a strong record in this field as anyone who has played their ‘Jurassic Park’ games will know.

Their first ‘Tomb Raider’ slot game was a big hit so a sequel was inevitable. Lara is here, there and everywhere in this game and that’s bound to go down well with her fans. We see her on a red motorbike, climbing up a wall and with a couple of guns.

Features in the game include the Rolling Reels. If a win comes along, then the successful symbols do a disappearing act. New ones appear and if they create another win, then the process is repeated until no win is achieved.

There are free spins to be received too and the Global Adventure Bonus. That’s where the sword comes into play. Find the sword fragment and more wins can head in your direction.

Hitman

Some of the content in this online slot game isn’t exactly family friendly. ‘Hitman’ tells the story of a hired assassin who goes around the globe looking to kill his latest target, so not exactly a Disney movie.

You can tell that from the symbols in this slot game. Rather than fluffy animals and plenty of fruit, there’s guns, knives, a syringe and even garottes.

When turning a video game into a slot, you need to give the players plenty of chances to win some cash prizes rather than getting a high score but at all times gambling responsibly.  The slot version of ‘Hitman’ has a string of bonus features and that’s bound to impress any player.

Expanding wilds are one feature that can help produce some good wins. They are able to substitute for other symbols and give you wins that otherwise might not have happened. The Contract Bonus can also see some good wins be achieved. 

There are some characters on show that you wouldn’t trust an inch. Killing them can earn you a bonus but which of them will give you the highest bonus?

Free spins are also included in this slot and the expanding wilds are present again. With the pick ‘em Insignia Bonus too, this is a very popular online slot to play.
