With the online gaming world expanding and welcoming thousands of new players on an almost daily basis, it makes sense that some of the best loved shows on earth are now paying out thousands to its fans, if you win, of course.
Whether on the casino floors of Las Vegas, or the dozens of online sites available to players, there are dozens of great TV themed games to enjoy from popular sitcoms to the biggest dramas on the planet.
Below you’ll find some of the very best TV shows out there that have been converted into slots and what makes them so special…
Hotline
Inspired by the fantastic Miami Vice, which was one of the most popular TV shows of the 1980s, Hotline is one of the best slot games around, transporting you back to an era that just oozes cool, and features free spins.
It’s a slot that really brings to life the show, and while not directly themed on it, the similarities make it hard to not think of Sonny and Rico. Instead, the characters are Quinn and Riviera with a host of special guests too, and players must match the characters, as well as ’80s cars and stolen jewels in this five reel slot.
The maximum payout is 5,184 times your bet and there are some very special features that offer multipliers and free spins, with the Hotline feature being the pick of the bunch.
Wilds and scatters unlock the bonuses, all provided to a pumping beat of 1980s USA.
Game of Thrones
It’s one of the most popular TV Shows of all time, so it really is no surprise that there’s a slot inspired by Game of Thrones.
The series has really branched out down the years and the slot has proven a real hit. It’s one of Microgaming’s most successful titles, and is a five reel slot, with 243 different ways to win.
The aim of the game is to match the symbols, all inspired by various aspects of Game of Thrones. Land the two Iron Throne scatter symbols and you can launch the free spins feature, in which you must choose one of the four houses from the series, all of which carry different variants of free spins and multipliers.
So much thought has gone into the slot, with lots of easter eggs paying homage to the series as well as a backdrop and soundtrack that really do immerse you as heavily as the show itself did during its eight seasons.
Deal or No Deal
Noel Edmonds and the Deal or No Deal format may have left the British TV screens, but it is still remembered fondly and is one of the more successful online slots around. That’s because it’s a little different to the standard slots, with players enjoying the game in the same format as the show itself.
That’s right, players are required to choose a briefcase, and work their way through the boxes just as they would the show. Throughout the game, the banker will deliver players offers, which they can accept or continue playing. You can play all the way to the end where you’ll reveal what’s in your box, and the prize you will receive.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Who Wants to be a Millionaire crowned a new millionaire in Britain in recent weeks, but it’s a show that’s been paying out regularly over the last five years. The slot has five reels and three rows of symbols, with all symbols being the common ones we associate with the show.
You can win up to 2,500x your stake and there are a number of bonus rounds, as well as unlocking the progressive jackpot which gives players the chance to often pick up more than £1million!
It’s loved by many fans who have watched the TV show for years, and the only thing it is really missing is Chris Tarrant, Jeremy Clarkson or our very own Eddie McGuire!
Britain’s Got Talent
Launched by Playtech back in 2012, Britain’s Got Talent is a five reel, 20 payline slot that really does capture the essence of one of one of the UK’s best loved Saturday night shows.
It’s one of the best graphically pleasing slots available in casinos, and is widely available among the top brands. The Live Show Bonus is its real draw, and you have the chance to win up to 1,125x your bet, a prize often bigger than winning the talent show itself!
