In the online casino market, we are seeing more and more branded games coming from a wide range of developers. It is great to see our favourite television shows and movies come to life in a new way, and now even video games are becoming the basis of various slots games.
So, we have a few suggestions for developers about which video games series and characters we’d like to see starring in the very own slots.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog isn’t a hugely popular video game mascot anymore – but that’s what makes him so perfect for the theme of an online slots game. He is really only remembered by adults who played his series on the Sega Megadrive (or Genesis, depending on where you’re from), so people who are of legal gambling age now will be thrilled to see Sonic make his comeback in another way.
There was the ill-fated Sega Casino several years ago, but we’d just prefer to see Sonic as the star of a single slots game with a bonus round in which players collect rings for prizes.
Super Mario
It’s about time someone made an online slots game based on Super Mario! Like Sonic, Mario has a fan base that is all grown up now. Adults in their 30s reminisce about playing Super Mario on the Nintendo Entertainment System and many parents are introducing a new generation of players to Mario games on the Wii U.
So, we can see this game having a widespread appeal to Millennial players. For bonus rounds, we’d expect to see a retro-style arcade round and possibly a match-3 bonus similar to the extra rounds in Super Mario 3.
Borderlands
We dreamt up the idea for this game, because slot machines are already present in Borderlands 2 at Madd Moxxie’s bar. You can spin the reels for the chance to win impressive items and artillery. It would make for a brilliant online slots game at online casinos because it features such an eye-catching art style, ensuring that players will be immersed in the game from the get-go.
We picture the bonus round as a shoot-out style bonus in which players earn prizes for every baddie that they defeat.
Grand Theft Auto
Who doesn’t love a little bit of video game violence? Grand Theft Auto continues to be one of the most popular video games series across many generations and consoles.
The distinctive cover art style would make for a great look on a set of reels and the bonus round could be based on the older GTA titles, where players get a top-down view of all the action while players speed through town committing various crimes.
