I will save you the ‘welcome’ blubber and cut to the chase. When it comes to slots, us Brits seem to be more attached to your regular one-armed bandit type, rather than the flashy, brand-new ones that have been developed recently. However some of us, including yours truly, have a thing for slots inspired by films, TV-series, famous TV-shows and so on. Ring a bell? I hope so, because if you haven’t tried any of these slots yet, you cannot call yourself a true slots fan! Let’s see which are the most popular ones and what makes them so special.
1. Mega Moolah – Let’s start with the famous Mega Moolah progressive jackpot slot. The obvious ‘millionaire maker’ amongst slot fans and one of the most popular online slots in the UK, Mega Moolah is almost unequalled thanks to its massive jackpot wins. With 25 paylines across 5 reels, players can bet as much as 125 coins per spin, with a minimum coin size of 0.01 and a maximum of 0.05. It offers 4 progressive jackpots which can be won during a wheel of fortune bonus round. If you are lucky enough to hit the bonus and the free spins feature in the same time, the progressive jackpot spin will be triggered. The Mega progressive is the biggest jackpot and it starts at 1,000,000 coins, while the smallest one is the Mini progressive, with a minimum of just 10. The biggest payout so far went to John O. from the UK and was a whopping £5.88 million, hit while playing the Dark Knight, which is also linked to the Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot.
2. Spiderman – Your neighbourhood superhero is here and I don’t mean in cinemas. Whoever was a fan of this film has undoubtedly tried the slot series, as well and is either a happy winner or a soon-to-be one. The game features some really awesome graphics based on the Spiderman movie theme and the possible wins will make your head spin. Out of the free spins and bonus rounds, my personal favourite is the Ultimate Fight feature, where you have to kick the green out of the Green Goblin to win as much as you can. If the villain managed to defeat Spiderman, you get to keep the wins from all your successful hits, but the pays are much bigger if the Goblin runs out of health first. A lot of fun and 4 progressive jackpots from the Marvel series guarantee an exciting and rewarding experience.
3. Aliens – Warning! Not for the faint of heart! If you have watched the film – pretty sure you did, you know that the slot had to be just as scary and it will make your blood run cold, so please be advised that this is not for the weak-hearted. Curious yet? If you’re hitting the spin button already, let me give you a few hints as to what to expect from this slot. First, the Aliens graphics are absolutely out of this world (see what I did there?), but that comes as no surprise, since it’s a NetEnt Production. You can play through 3 levels, The Search, The Encounter and The Hive. Featuring the same ugly creatures from the film it is based on, Aliens will take you on a ride you are not likely to forget, with wild symbols, tons of multipliers and a huge win, if you manage to destroy the Queen before its creatures get you.
4. Game of the Thrones – A TV-series that needs no introduction was turned into a slot and we love the result! Just like the number of characters from the film and the book it was based on, the slot features 243 ways to win and win you will. The Iron Throne is what you wanna hit; two of them in any position will award you a random cash prize in a golden dragon egg, while 3 or more trigger the free spins round. You will then have to choose a side. I mean a house, one of the four main Houses featured in the TV show: the Baratheon House gives you 5 free spins on a 4x multiplier, the Lannister house – 10 free spins with a 4x multiplier, the Stark House – 14 free spins with a 3x multiplier and the Targaryen house lands you 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier. Microgaming really outdid themselves this time, so my advice to you: this is a must-play slot!
5.South Park – And…here comes Kenny! A truly offensive, but highly entertaining slot, South Park is an addictive game with some of the ‘classiest’ jokes from the Comedy Central’s star show. The potty-mouthed Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan are the characters in this 5-reel, 25-paylines slot, which also features the traditional card symbols. South Park is yet another NetEnt masterpiece, with special mini features, bonus spins and entertaining bonus rounds. During the Kyle Bonus Spin, Kyle hits his little brother Ike against a mailbox and you win the bonus prize on which he lands. There are 2 bonus games: Kenny Bonus Game and Cartman Bonus Game. The first one can bring you up to 139,000 coins, if Kenny manages to move across three tiles, without dying. Cartman needs to find some hidden goodies in the bushes. before getting caught by the police. Always up to no good Cartman!
