Top Mobile Slots Based on Popular TV Shows
Recent decades have marked a beginning of another golden era of TV shows, shifting the focus from big to small screens and creating history with memorable and now iconic Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones series. The popularity and cult status of the shows quickly rubbed off to the latest online slot releases and it wasn’t before long that we were able to see our favourite characters on the reels as well as on the screens. The animated shows and their characters do not fall far behind and are obviously equally inspirational to software developers as flash and blood TV heroes. Fresh releases and popular PC slots are being launched and re-designed for touch technology on a daily basis and it seems that the top industry developers are sharpening the competitive edge, not shying away from “usurping” the sanctity even of such TV shows as Game of Thrones and South Park.
Game of Thrones
While we are all still anxiously waiting for the winter to come, counting down the days until the series finale, Game of Thrones slot is more that welcome to fill out the void and distract us. Released by Microgaming, GOT is a 5 reel slot that can be played as either a 15 or 243 paylines version. The slot features symbols of each of the 4 Houses banners with the Throne icon as the game’s Scatter, awarding cash prizes in combination of two and unlocking four different Free Spins sessions for 3, 4 and 5 Scatters.
With the sufficient number of Scatters on the reels, the players can choose between one of the four Free Spins modes:
- Baratheon: Opting for this house activates 8 extra spins and carries a 5x multiplier, with the Stag as the stacked Wild.
- Lannister: Pledging your allegiance to this house activates 10 free spins and multiplies the bet by 4. Naturally, Lion symbol is the stacked Wild in this mode.
- Stark: House of the King in the North grants 14 Free Spins, Wolf as the stacking Wild and a 3x multiplier.
- Targaryan: pretty generous mode when it comes to free spins. With the 2x multiplier and Dragon as the stacked Wild, this feature activates 18 bonus spins.
Unfortunately, mobile version does not include the Gamble feature and we would have been thrilled to see some of the most loveable characters as the slot icons, but that aside, GOT is far from being a disappointment. The payouts are frequent and decent and dividing the Free Spin modes into the four rival houses was truly a nice touch.
Family Guy
Powered by IGT, Family Guy is a 5 reel/30 lines video slot with quite a few bonuses, triggered randomly and represented by the TV shows main characters. Every spin you take can be intersected by the Griffin Family Feature, where one of the family members appears on the reels and activates a specific bonus. Peter Griffin for example, will literally fart out a cash reward (which will only come as a surprise if you have not seen the show).
Other characters have a more subtle approach to awarding bonuses – Stewie “zaps” up to 3 Wilds, Lois transforms symbols into Scatters, thus increasing the line bet payout, while Brian shows up after the Bonus symbol lands on the reels and triggers World Bonus. This feature is unlocked by the additional Bonus symbols awarded by Brian and the player needs to spin the globe, unlocking one of the three possibilities:
- The Drunken Clam, a picking game that lasts until your character passes out. Within this round, cash prizes and multipliers can be pretty generous, especially if you get one of the other characters to black out.
- The Chicken Fight Bonus, three rounds fight, where the player will pick between the money bags, generosity of which will depend on the fight outcome.
- Lois’ Hot Free Spin Bonus which takes the game to the alternative reels set with entirely different symbols, additional Free Spins and Lois Wilds, generated if the player manages to collect Naked Peter Symbols (raunchy!).
South Park Reel Chaos
Everybody’s favourite Colorado kids, South Park gang returns as a re-release for Android and iOS devices, only this time NetEnt mellows things down a bit and focuses mostly on the bonuses and the rivalry between the characters’ teams. Outrageous humour and wildly inappropriate jokes are definitely not a part of this release, but the player is compensated with the abundance of extra features, Wilds and multipliers.
Every single spin can trigger Cartman’s Stacked Wilds, turning Eric into Wild and generating winnings as he chases General Disarray across the reels. Something similar with happen when Kenny confronts Professor Chaos. Their fight will initiate bet multipliers, increasing the bet up to 5x.
Some of the biggest payouts are awarded with Stan’s Multiplier Re-Spins, where every “dry” spin increases the overall multiplier, multiplying the final payout by x2, x3… or even x10!
Kyle’s Random Wilds is where Kyle must save the day and destroy the Professor Chaos’ guinea pigs, using his laser eyes to turn other symbols into Wilds.
Finally, Mintberry Crunch Epic Bonus Free Spins is where things get pretty hot, with free spins and multipliers that just keep on piling up as you defeat all four of your enemies.
Although it may seem a bit busy at times, South Park Reel Chaos does justice to its name and will particularly appeal to those who enjoy dynamic slots with a lot going on after almost every spin.
Batman and The Joker Jewels
TV classic from the 60, Batman TV show deserves its own slot and Playtech has definitely hit a few nostalgic cords with their Batman and The Joker Jewels 25 paylines and 4 progressive jackpots video slot. Any spin can trigger The Joker Random Wild, which awards new Wild symbols that substitute other icons.
Reels 1, 3 and 5 are the landing spots of Bonus Scatters, unlocking additional Batman vs Joker free rounds where the player picks a side and multiplies the final payouts with the help of the Bat-tastic multiplier.
Progressive jackpots are obviously very difficult to trigger and win, but even so, Batman and The Joker Jewels is an exciting slot and a great interpretation of the TV show classic.
