Five More Great Movie-Themed Slots

Video slots are a popular draw for virtual casinos. They are fun, engaging, and are the closest comparison to video games. Video slots also have the benefit of using recognizable themes. Plough through the catalogue of any online gaming house and you will find many slots attached to popular movies. These movies can range from blockbuster titles like the Avengers to popular rom-com like Pretty Woman. The slots are developed by top-line companies and suit players of all types. They are colourful and engaging enough to merit a visit from recreational players but contain the necessary whiz-bangs to attract the discerning gambler. Here is a look at a few that are currently available.

Jumanji

Harkening back to the classic Robin Williams adventure film, Jumanji is a lovely little jaunt through a mystical board game. Instead of dice, however, players get to use five reels and 36 pay lines. The backdrop of the grid is set in the living room of the Parrish house. The floor has been replaced with the Jumanji game board with the reels filling up the middle of that board. The game is distinct because it combines the elements of a board game with the fast pace of slots. It also has 10 different movie-themed features to help players. Jumanji has a terrific soundtrack paired with lively visuals. It captures all the magic from the movie and successfully adds a slot machine spin. The game also has an RTP of 96.3% The first bonus is Sticky Vines. The winning symbols of a match, as well as contributing wilds, become stuck in place as the rest of the reels spin. Monsoon Wilds cover entire reels in wild symbols. Monkey Mayhem gives the board over to the troublesome apes from the film. They will rearrange the symbols to form winning patterns. Triggering the Board Game feature takes you to an actual board game. You roll dice and move tokens to gain access to four different kinds of free spins. Finally, there is the Mystery Feature. When triggered it will activate Jumanji’s mysterious circle. Just as in the move whatever the circle says will happen. In this case, we are talking free spins and multipliers, not life-threatening jungle shenanigans.

Planet of the Apes

Once again NetEnt takes the screen with a film-adaptation of Planet of the Apes. This one is worth mentioning because it features two movies: Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It can do this by featuring 10 reels and 40 pay lines. The slotter has an opening video which is very enticing. Combined with its lush graphics the machine boasts an eye-catching quality. It backs up the visuals with addictive gameplay. The two-reel sets sit on an apocalyptic backdrop. Each has its own set of special symbols referencing the two films. Players can win payouts on either one or both of the grids. If combos are made on both the payout goes up. Standard suit symbols to fill the rest of the space with the apes serving as scatter symbols. Features include stacked wilds, free spin feature, multipliers, extra wilds, and the rise bonus. Landing bonus features in different grids bear different payouts. So if you activate free spins in Rise it pays 10 free spins, but landing the same feature in Dawn pays 15.

Expanding reels happen when a special trigger places an additional row on top of the grid. Paylines expand to 1024 and the T-800 wild symbol gains the ability to morph into other character symbols. Finally, there is a T-800 vision. When this is triggered the whole screen turns neon red. It is easily triggered and pays out cash prizes.
