As soon as a film turns into a success story, a blockbuster, or a cult classic on a late-night show, there are people in the gaming community who start to wonder how it would be as a five-reel slot machine game. While there are times when the end product comes across as a quick money-making scheme, there are occasions when the slot machine does embody the spirit of the film in question.
The following list includes the five games that keep coming up when people are talking about slots based on movies.
Terminator 2 by Microgaming
If there is a royal name in the realm of movie-themed slot games, then Terminator 2 comes to mind. This is one of the top online pokies based on films out there. The game may appear to start off as rather simple 5×3 format with 243 ways for players to win, but its true potential is revealed when the Bonus Spins feature kicks in. The game transforms itself into the format of 1,024 ways to win which reminds of the movie itself as large-scale scenarios depicted in the film are played out on the screen.
In order to activate the feature and get 10 Bonus Spins, players will need three Scatter symbols appearing on the screen. The game is enhanced with music which immediately evokes the atmosphere of the movie and gives the players the full experience of playing a Terminator slot rather than an ordinary sci-fi themed game.
Beetlejuice Megaways by Barcrest
This title is wonderfully bizarre, the way all Beetlejuice games should be created.
Barcrest has used the Megaways format, which has over 7,776 ways to win, and the game brings exactly the same energy as the movie. The winning combinations appear on the screen with help from mystery symbols that suddenly come out from nowhere and the multipliers start to grow while the Bonus Spins get really wild.
The black-and-white design and crazy characters make players feel like Tim Burton himself came to the casino to decorate the game.
Ted by Blueprint
Blueprint's Ted slot shows that not all movie-themed games need to involve violence or gore.
Featuring a standard five-reel three-row format and 20 pay lines, the obvious star of this online slot is the talkative teddy bear. The game features the Thunder Buddies bonus game responsible for most of the humour, while the Scatter feature can earn you multipliers and other nice prizes.
Bridesmaids by Microgaming
Although it does not seem to fit the stereotypical mould, the wedding theme is a fitting topic for a fun slot game, and Bridesmaids is an immersive slot game by Microgaming. The game features a format of 5 reels and 40 ways of winning, boasting of some new features such as wilds, several bonus rounds, and an innovative bonus wheel.
The game draws from the atmosphere of the movie, therefore, having all the bright colors and humour of the original film.
From Dusk till Dawn 10 by Greentube
This is the wild card of the bunch.
Greentube relaunched From Dusk till Dawn 10 with glossy modern visuals, and it leans hard into the film’s dusty desert setting. The familiar characters are front and centre, the vampires look suitably nasty and the whole game has that grimy midnight-movie atmosphere.
Feature-wise it is packed: money wheels, Bonus Spins, re-spins, level-ups, locked wins and a Hold & Spin mechanic. It is probably the busiest game on this list, but fans of the film will enjoy spotting all the references while the bonuses keep firing away.
