Three Slots That Were Initially Video Games

Slot designers often have a tough job on their hands. Think how many different slot games there  are that can be played at online casinos. It’s a competitive industry trying to create a game  that players will rush to try their luck on. So how do they do it?

Creating a slot game that has already been successful in another genre is the way forward. It  could be a television series, movie or in the case of this article, a video game. There’s already  an audience out there and that can be successfully tapped into if the conversion into a slot is  handled well. As long as you gamble responsibly a great time can be had. Let’s look at three  examples of video games that are now slot games that are available on the UK’s most visited slot sites.

Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword 

There was a certain inevitability that we’d see the video game ‘Tomb Raider’ become a slot  game. After its amazing success as a video game and a movie, Microgaming created a slot  game that saw more adventures for Lara Croft.

With a new ‘Tomb Raider’ movie on the horizon, that’ll renew the interest in the various Lara  Croft products.

Such was the popular of the first ‘Tomb Raider’ slot game, sequels just had to happen. Lara  Croft fans have certainly shown their approval of this online casino slot game. In the background  you can see a tomb and of course Lara is only too familiar with them. Symbols in this game see  her riding a red motorbike, making her way up a wall and she’s got two guns, so don’t upset her.

A profitable feature in this game is the Rolling Reels. When you get a winning combination, the  symbols that created that success disappear. Replacements are needed and if they lead to  another win, the process is repeated until no win comes along. This slot also contains a free  spins round that can see some big wins come along.

What about the sword then? Look out for the passport symbols when playing the base game.  is created. They can help get you into the Global Adventure Bonus where it’s time to travel  around the world searching for artefacts. If the sword fragment is discovered, then more wins  can be heading in your direction.

Hitman

Here’s another slot that began life as a video game. It’s not one of those slots you play at online  casinos that are like a Disney movie. Instead, just like its predecessor, ‘Hitman’ has everything  from garottes to a syringe and guns and knives included among its symbols.

The ‘hero’ of this slot game is after all a hired assassin. He spends his time making sure his  targets meet their end and he gets paid. There are plenty of bonus features in this slot and  that’s one reason why it’s so popular at online casinos.

Wilds can always help lead to good wins but it’s even better if they are ones that expand. They  are present here and there’s also the Contract Bonus. Some rather untrustworthy characters are  on display and killing them wins you a bonus. But which one gets you the highest win?

The expanding wilds are also present in the free spins round. There’s also the Insignia Bonus  which is a pick ‘em round. With so much on offer the popularity of this slot is guaranteed.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 

When you play a slot game that has been popular in other ways, the designers try their very  best to stay faithful to the video game. That way it keeps fans happy and it’s great when you  play the slot and fond memories of the video game flood back.

As you can tell from the title of this online casino slot, ‘Call of Duty’ has become a successful  franchise. When this happens the slot designers have their work cut out to keep the new games  original and not just a rehash of its predecessors.

You might usually get worried when someone throws a hand grenade. However, in this online  casino slot game it’s good news. Additional Battle Scenes are added and that’s good news for  your account balance.

There’s no need to trigger that bonus but you do the other one that this possesses. This second  screen game sees you go into battle and the more kills you can manage to achieve, then the  higher the amount of free spins received. Killing five soldiers in a row is a bit of a gruesome task  but it does win you a higher multiplier, so good luck with that.
