Online casino operators depend heavily on their online slots for revenue as slot games tend to be the most popular games at just about every online casino. One of the main reasons for this is because players do not require any special strategy to play slot games. Since slot games are based purely on luck, players are happy to give their favorite games a spin and see if luck is on their side.
Slot Developers Under Pressure to Deliver
Some of the major slot developers continue to release new slots on a monthly basis as they try to keep up with the growing demand for innovative, unique and themed slot games. Slot developers compete with one another to come out with the latest slot game that will be a global hit.
Software providers focus on developing slots in a number of different categories such as romance, adventure, sports, music, TV shows and movies. Many Canadian casinos offer free spin slots based on popular TV shows such as Game of Thrones and the Sopranos.
What game will surpass GOT, none have come close so far
Slot developers are keen to develop new games around old TV shows and sometimes new hit TV shows like Narcos as these iconic TV shows have global fan following and it becomes easy to market and promote these TV themed slot game since they have a market audience that is already familiar with the theme.
Over the years, there have been a number of hit shows that have thrilled audiences all over the world. Fans have forgotten about a number of these TV shows while some fans keep
watching reruns just to relive some of these fabulous TV shows and their favorite characters.
We take a look at some of the TV shows that slot developers need to look at and create a themed slot game.
Breaking Bad
Millions of Breaking Bad fans were disappointed when the hit TV show came to an end in 2013 and secretly hoped that Vince Gilligan would bring back Walter White and Jesse Pinkman for one more season. More than 5 years have passed, and it appears that Breaking Bad has been put to rest for good.
Due to the massive popularity of the show, the producers decided to come out with ‘Better Call Saul’ which is a spin-off of Breaking Bad. While fans were happy to relive some of the history behind Breaking Bad in the new TV show, they still want more off Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.
This is an ideal scenario for some of the top slot developers to come out with a new slot based on the hit TV show. It will be a tough task for software developers to create a game that continues to tell the Breaking Bad story and keep the suspense going for Breaking Bad slot lovers.
Prison Break
When it comes to the best TV shows between 2005 to 2015, Prison Break should definitely feature in the top 5 list. The unique plot, the fantastic cast and brilliant acting caused fans to be glued to their TV sets for 5 seasons. Prison Break was broadcasted on Fox for four seasons from 2005 to 2008 before the producers took a break and caused fans to go crazy.
Due to popular demand, the producers decided to air another season in 2017 and give fans what they want. So far there is no online slot that does proper justice to the TV show and it is time for a top slot developer to take on the challenge of inviting players to help Michael and his crew break out of another prison.
Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods may not be as popular as the first two TV shows we mentioned but this cop drama has stood the test of time and has run for nine straight seasons, starting from 2010 to 2019. CBS confirmed that it had renewed Blue Bloods for a 10th season which pleased the legion of Blue Blood fans who cannot seem to get enough of the Reagan family.
Slot developers should take full advantage of the current popularity of Blue Bloods and come out with a slot game where players can assist Frank and Danny Reagan to go after the bad guys, lock them up and get rewarded for their assistance.
Chicago Fire
Dick Wolf came up with a masterpiece when he launched the drama-action series involving Firehouse 51 and their challenges in keeping Chicago safe. The cast, great story telling and the drama has caused Chicago Fire to keep growing in popularity with every passing season.
Chicago Fire was first released on NBC in 2012 and it had a great response in its first season. Dick Wolf took advantage of this and came up with a couple of different TV shows that partnered with Chicago Fire.
Chicago PD was launched a year later and Wolf would go on to produce Chicago Med and Chicago Justice which did cross-over shows with Chicago Fire called ‘One Chicago’ which helped grow the TV shows’ fan base significantly. Chicago Fire has thrilled fans for 8 consecutive seasons and due to its popularity NBC has decided to renew the TV show for its 9th season.
Slot developers will have an interesting theme to work with as they will be tasked with the challenge putting together a game where fire fighters can make a difference with the help of slot players and save the day. There is a great storyline to introduce special bonuses and features to make a new Chicago Fire slot interesting.
Lie to Me
This US drama-crime TV show ran for just three seasons before fading out. While it certainly isn’t as popular as some of the TV shows we just mentioned, it has a very interesting theme that slot developers can use to create a game of intrigue.
The show revolves around Dr. Cal Lightman who is an expert at reading body language and facial signs to tell if someone is lying or telling the truth. Lightman offers his services to solve cases which get solved quickly thanks to his lie detecting techniques. Slot developers can borrow from this theme and play with the fictional character of Lightman to give players a chance to see if they can help Lightman with his investigations.
An Ideal Combination
An ideal combination would be if all these shows would be turned into slot games, and you could spin the reels of these awesome titles, with reruns of the show running in the background. Now wouldn’t that be great?
