Three Hit Movies That Became Successful Online Slots

14

Online slots are incredibly popular and it is a tough task to produce games that players will flock to try their luck on. Developing an entirely new product is a gamble and that’s why many slots are based on successful movies.

The process works because there is already an in-built audience of millions of viewers who saw and enjoyed the films in the cinema or on a streaming service. When players hear that a slot version of a show they love has been released, then they will look forward to playing it online. Let’s take a look at three online slots offered at these slot casinos that began life as movies. It’s a rather varied list for sure.

Monty Python’s Life of Brian 

Successful gaming companies Playtech and Ash Gaming were responsible for turning this hilarious (and very controversial at the time) Monty Python film into a successful slot game.

It’s important that when a movie becomes a slot, the subject matter is adhered to well. It needs to bring back memories of the film and perhaps make you want to go and watch it again. That’s definitely the case with this slot game.

The symbols in this game will definitely get you thinking about the movie. We see such memorable characters as Mr Cheeky, Brian, his mother, Pontius and a centurion. Including music from a movie is also important. That’s achieved here during the introduction to the game.

Packing a game with bonus features is always a good idea. It gives players something to aim for rather than just continually spinning the reels and hoping for a winning combination. Again, the bonus features adhere brilliantly to the slot’s theme.

They include ‘Stoning’ and ‘What’s So Funny’ and there’s also the ‘Foot of God’ progressive jackpot. Look out for the spaceship that can randomly appear after a losing spin and turn a set of symbols wild.

Free spins are available in the ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’ (you’ll be singing that all night) round. Losing spins are again good news as they boost the multiplier. You’ll love this very busy and hilarious slot game.

The Dark Knight

There are plenty of Batman related slot games online. Several are linked to the camp 1960s TV series and are of a very much lighter tone than the movies that have followed.

‘The Dark Knight’ was a hugely successful movie and a slot version was inevitable. It was created by Microgaming who have had great success turning movies into slots. Their ‘Jurassic Park’ slots are well worth trying out. Superhero slots are very popular, hopefully there will be one for the upcoming ‘Superman’ movie.

Back to Batman and his seemingly never-ending battle against The Joker. Both characters are included as symbols as are Commissioner Gordon and the future ‘Two-Face’ Harvey Dent. Again, a great job is done in bringing back memories of the blockbuster movie.

There are 243 different ways to get a win in this slot. The DC slot games have progressive jackpots and there are four of them here. The chances are you’ll win the lowest paying one but if it’s your lucky day, then the largest will head in your direction.

In the free spins round, all wins that you achieve are doubled. That needs to be triggered but there’s also the random Batman or Joker awards. They see you receiving either a stacked wild or an increased multiplier. Batman fans will love this slot game.

Beetlejuice Megaways

Last year saw the long-awaited sequel being released. While fans of the original were waiting for that to appear in cinemas, they had this slot game to enjoy. Released by Big Time Gaming, the ‘Beetlejuice’ slot was a big hit and this version is even better.

The Megaways mechanic sees the number of winning combinations increased to a staggering 248,832 so hopefully a win is always just around the corner. It’s a mechanic that is often used to add some new life to existing games released before it came into fruition.

You can’t help thinking of the original Tim Burton movie when playing this game. There’s not a ghost of a chance you won’t enjoy this slot. Like a few other games such as ‘Downton Abbey,’ not all the reels are visible when you start playing. We don’t get to see the top half of the grid until later but it’s good news for your account balance when they arrive. 

This slot includes music from the original soundtrack and the symbols include the characters you know and love. Beetlejuice himself is always visible, you can see him to the left of the reels watching all the action.

If your luck is in, you could win 6,220x your stake. The best feature is the Cascading Symbols. Successful symbols do a disappearing act and are replaced by new ones. If another win is achieved, then the process is repeated until no new win is achieved. Some good wins can definitely be achieved thanks to this feature.
