Top 5 Online Slot Games Based on Hollywood Films
Films have made their way into every facet of our lives — so much so that we live in a world where not one, but two Angry Birds movies have been made. The Angry Birds, if you aren't familiar with it, is a mobile game that requires you to fling birds to knock different structures over. This is all well and good, but this article explores how film is tied to a different kind of game, as the big screen has found its way to the world of online casinos. Of course, the iconic images of film are a great way to connect with casino fans across the globe. If you're curious how so, then read on to know about 5 of the best games slot online based on Hollywood films.
King Kong
King Kong has been one of the longest-running franchises in the history of cinema. First appearing on the big screen in 1933 under RKO Pictures, The Hollywood Reporter points out that the franchise has seen over 11 films all under different studios, with a 12th one coming soon in 2020. The online slot game that best represents the iconic gorilla would have to be Kong- The 8th Wonder of the World, which is based on the 2005 iteration of King Kong under Universal Studios. The game features two different game modes: Jungle Mode and Big City Mode. Each mode has its respective backdrops, and the game's icons are made up of Kong and the other characters in the film, played by Jack Black and Adrien Brody
Ghostbusters
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters is a pop culture phenomenon that spans generations. This is most evident in 2016's reboot of Ghostbusters, which featured an all-female cast and Chris Hemsworth as their doting secretary. The Ghostbusters online slot uses the characters from the original 1984 film, which makes sense as it's the one that set the whole franchise off. The Ghostbusters slot is a 30-payline video slot with 5 white reels set against the backdrop of New York City. Fans of the franchise will be glad to know that the infectious Ghostbusters theme blares every time you spin the reels.
Top Gun
The recent news on the sequel to 1986's Top Gun has renewed interest for the modern classic that made Tom Cruise one of the biggest stars of the 21st Century. The online slots includes images of key characters from the movie captured in the symbols — including Iceman, Charlie, Jester, Stinger, and Goose, with Tom Cruise's iconic Maverick missing from the bunch. No need to worry, though, as you'll be seeing him reprise his role of Maverick in 2020's Top Gun: Maverick.
Terminator
Sarah Connor, one of the most iconic heroines in the history of cinema, first hit the screen in 1991. This is from the same franchise that launched the career of a then-unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger. 28 years later, the Terminator franchise is still going strong with Terminator: Dark Fate coming out in November of 2019. The online slots game includes memorable iconography from the film, and revolves around Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Plus, the randomly triggered T-800 Vision mode targets character symbols and triggers bonus wins.
Man of Steel
Superheroes have taken over most modern mediums, but one of the earliest and most iconic figures in this genre is Superman — first introduced in Action Comics, Issue 1 in 1938. Since then, there have been hundreds of films born from superhero mythology. For instance, Man of Steel came out in 2013 and birthed the DC Extended Universe, which includes 2016's Suicide Squad and 2017's Justice League. The Man of Steel slots game features images of Superman along with his adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, along with other images from the film. The online slots game also comes with 3 modes: Battle for Earth, the World Engine, and Krypton.
