Pop culture themes from movies, TV, music and games have long been part of the fun of playing the slots. Let’s check out a few of the new themes we’ll be playing in the coming year.
The Voice
International Game Technology turns to reality TV for a five-reel, 40-payline video slot complete with onscreen coaches lending aid to up and coming singers.
The Voice delivers an immersive experience with popular songs and video footage from the show, and features celebrity coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Ricky Martin and Rita Ora. The game highlights iconic elements from The Voice including the stage, coaches’ chairs and red button.
Willie Nelson
The county legend is lending his image and music to two new themes from Everi: Willie Nelson Shotgun Willie and Willie Nelson Whiskey River.
Both are 9-line games with three mechanical reels, and they share a wide-area progressive jackpot. Each has its own bonus events, multipliers and plenty of Willie.
Lining up three Shotgun Willie or Whiskey River symbols on the ninth payline awards a wide-area progressive jackpot. Both games feature multipliers, with 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x multipliers on some bar and 7 symbols on Shotgun Willie, while on the other new game, Whiskey River symbols multiply winnings on 7s or bars combinations.
Wonder Woman Golden Lasso and Bullets & Bracelets
TV’s Wonder Woman Lynda Carter returns in two new game themes from Scientific Games. Both are five-reel, 40-line games with three-level progressive jackpots along with action-packed game features.
Look for the Power Wheel Bonus, which awards one spin of a U-Spin wheel, where you touch, drag and let fly the onscreen wheel. Players can win credit prizes; the minor, major or mega jackpots; Knockout Wilds Free Games; or Transforming Wilds Free Games.
In Knockout Wilds, the reels grow to eight rows and any wild symbols lock into place for remaining spins. In Transforming Wilds, not only do wilds lock in, but at random times a Diana Prince symbol will transform into Wonder Woman and group the wilds together for one spin. That can mean wondrous wins.
