When you next pay a visit to your favourite online casino, some of the titles of slot games may be familiar to you. That’s because there are several slots that began life as a very popular video game.
With a fan base already in place and eagerly awaiting to play the slot version, it’s easy to see why slot designers are so keen to adapt video games. Here’s a look at five video games now available to play as slots at online casinos operating in the UK.
Space Invaders
Do you remember the days when Space Invaders could be seen all over the country? It wasn’t just amusement arcades where you could find yourself trying to shoot down those pesky aliens. Pubs had them and you could even play them while waiting to be served in your local chippie.
This slot version of the video game has also proved to be popular. The terror you felt when the aliens got closer and closer to the bottom of the screen at an ever increasing speed is repeated here. The bonus round sees you needing to shoot down the space invaders to ensure a higher win is earned.
Tomb Raider
27 years ago, the Tomb Raider video game was launched. It was a massive success and now in the 2020s, a new movie is on the way. There are also slot versions to play and they continue to be hugely successful additions to online casinos.
Archaeology isn’t all about spending ages digging and not finding a great deal. Lara Croft leads a far more exciting life and that’s seen in the slot games that Microgaming have created. The look of this slot will bring back plenty of memories of the past.
There are two exciting bonus features for you to try and trigger. The first sees you choosing between three and five idols in the Tomb Bonus. Hopefully, your luck will be in and the ones you choose will produce some good cash wins. The other is free spins round with at least ten being awarded. Wins achieved in this bonus round are tripled, so the best of luck with that.
Hitman
This slot adaptation of the Hitman video game faithfully recreates the original. We’re far away from Pacific Island gods and instead the emphasis is on assassins and the weapons that they use.
With a suitably eery soundtrack that enhances the game, this online casino game is a thrill from the moment you start spinning the reels. There are two bonus games and the good news is that one of them contains an expanding Wild. That’s going to put you in a situation where some good wins are just spins away.
The free spins round can also be lucrative. 18 of them are received and the wins that do come along are all doubled.
Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil was a big hit as a video game and online casino players have lapped up the slot versions. Such has been its success there’s been one slot release after another.
When that happens, it is important that it isn’t just a case of producing the same kind of game time after time. That’s certainly not been the case with the Resident Evil slot games.
With this slot, there are four bonuses available and that’s going to delight any online casino player. Why four? Well, there is one for each of the character symbols and you’ll find yourself playing with free spins, sticky wilds and some expanding wild symbols too. All ensure that your chances of boosting your account balance are increased.
Zuma
This video game is a bit different from the others on the list. It isn’t about evil creatures or going to war but a puzzle game. Blueprint Gaming have now turned it into a slot game but the mystery element hasn’t been carried forward.
Instead, we have a slot that has a great look to it. Slot designers do have a bit of a love affair with images of gods and that’s what makes this such an attractive looking slot to play. There are Pacific Islands gods and legends on show here and they all look great.
There are several features in this online casino game. For example, there’s a free spins round that will keep your attention right to its end. That’s because it ends with you needing to shoot one of the four Tiki bosses. This reveals a multiplier so hopefully it’ll be good news for you.
Zuma also has a gamble feature where you can put either all or half your win on the line. A win can give you a boosted multiplier but failure sees you lose out. You do need to be careful with this feature and not overuse it.
