Everyone knows that most video game adaptations of blockbuster movies don’t tend to end up being very good. While there is the rare exception of course (GoldenEye we salute thee!), it is the norm that most games based on movies are lazily made and are mostly just a way to cash in on the movie’s success.
However, luckily for fans of casino games, the opposite is usually true when it comes to movie themed slots. Since slot games all follow a similar set of mechanics and are simper games by nature, it’s harder to go wrong when making a movie themed slot. In fact, all a movie themed slot really needs to do to be successful is recreate the vibe of the movie itself. The best movie themed slots will feature not only pictures and footage of the characters but will also contain free spins and bonus features inspired by the movie itself.
So after part one, let’s take another look at some of the best movie themed slots you will find online. These slots are available to play for free or for real money at different online casinos.
Before you open an account however, I recommend that you read reviews to make sure the casino you choose will treat you fairly.
Scarface
The world is yours at the spin of a button in NetEnt’s marvelous adaptation of the Brian De Palma classic gangster film. Featuring the likeness and voice of Al Pacino’s iconic Tony Montana, as well as other main characters such as Chi Chi, Elvira and Manny, this slot takes you back to the world of 1980’s Miami, as Tony Montana attempts to take over the world.
Featuring plenty of cut scene footage as well as the original soundtrack this game was already bound to be a fantastic adaptation. However, the developers made sure not to stop there, adding plenty of special features, such as Stacked Wilds, Nudge Spins, and Free Spins.
Aliens
James Cameron’s iconic sci-fi horror franchise does not exactly seem like that kind of material that would be associated with slot games, and yet NetEnt’s adaptation is one of the finest online slots ever made.
Aliens not only manages to capture the mood and suspense of the movie series, but it also manages to play like a video game would, including the addition of 3 different progressive levels that you will have to make your way through to defeat the Alien Queen.
The brilliant idea of adding a storyline to the gameplay made this slot an absolute game changer, much like the movie was at the time of its release. Players not only get to attempt to destroy the alien nest, but they will also win big money if they manage to do so successfully.
Jurassic World
A movie that needs no introduction, Jurassic World was one of the biggest hits the box office has ever seen, surpassing by far the success of the original Steven Spielberg directed Jurassic Park. With Jurassic Park also having one of the most beloved and successful slot adaptations of all time, it was only natural that Jurassic World would also get its own slot to match its popularity.
Featuring plenty of pictures and footage of fan favorites Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), as well as plenty of our favorite dinosaurs – including the movies’ genetically modified Indomitus Rex – this 243 ways slot doesn’t just look good, but it is also massively entertaining thanks to its lucrative free spin rounds and massive multipliers. With the sequel to Jurassic World coming soon, one can only hope for yet another Jurassic themed slot.
Ted
Everyone’s favorite Thunder Buddies, Ted the foul-mouthed teddy bear and Mark Walhberg’s John Bennett, are back in the hilarious slot Ted.
Of all the slots in this list, Ted takes the award for best recreating the feel of the movie it is based on, as it not only features Ted himself sleeping beneath the reels and spitting out one-liners, but it features 11 different bonus games all customized towards the movie’s universe. With names such as the Wheel of Fartune, Bar Crawl Bonus, Psychedelic Colossal Spin, and Laser Gun Wilds feature, you can tell the game’s developers went above and beyond in bringing players to Ted’s world.
Halloween
One of the most successful horror franchises in the history of cinema, John Carpenter’s classic Halloween has inspired plenty of sequels and copycats, but it was also the inspiration behind Micrograming’s fantastic Halloween slot.
With reels designed to look like the Strode family home’s front porch, Halloween features plenty of the characters and most recognizable props from the movie – along with masked murderer Michael Myers creeping around in the background. Couple with wandering reels, over 50 paylines and big payouts on the main characters, this game is a cold-blooded killer.
