Even though the idea of a video game was born in 1947 with the filing of a patent for a ‘cathode ray tube amusement device,’ it wasn’t until the 1970s and 80s that the video game industry really came alive to spawn the multi-billion dollar industry it is today.
In those early days video games were mainly the domain of young boys and teenagers, but that’s no longer the case. Today players of all genders and ages across the globe enjoy the latest and greatest titles online or on many cutting-edge gaming consoles.
Yep, the average gamer is about 34 years old.
And because these video games are so widely played by people 18 and over (the legal gambling age), many of the most popular ones have transitioned into the online casino world in the form of video slots, which can be played both for fun or for real money.
Plus, nowadays you can also gamble on video games such as Fortnite. Learn more on where and how you can do this now.
In this article we’ll highlight three of the most worthwhile online slots inspired by video games which you can play 24/7 at many of the most highly frequented online casinos.
The following video slots are loaded with bright, colourful and entertaining graphics, along with many high-paying features to make them worthwhile financially, and in keeping with their video game inspirations. Here they are in no discernible order.
We are all looking forward to the next instalment of this series of slots.
Tomb Raider a.k.a. Lara Croft, adventuress extraordinaire, is one of the world’s top video games and one that also made a successful transition into films. In the video slot version you’ll be pleased to know that Lara Croft is still very much front and centre.
Developed by top-ranked online casino software firm Microgaming, Tomb Raider slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 pay lines. Although its graphics have dated slightly (compared to those of more modern 3D slots), they’re still bright and bold and easy on the eye.
The game symbols include two of Lara – one of her firing her guns (the Scatter) and the other of her crouching ready to strike –a priceless idol, a tiger, poker symbols and the game’s logo (the Wild) – land 5 Wilds and you’ll win the maximum 7,500 coin pay out.
Land 3 Scatters and you’ll trigger a slew of free spins. This means you can sit back and relax as the game spins and wins on your behalf without having to wager a cent. Land three idols across your reels and you’ll activate the game’s exciting bonus round.
You’ll be whisked off to a mysterious location where you’ll be presented with 12 idols each hiding a cash value. You get to select a number of idols and keep whatever their cash value is combined (up to a maximum of 2500 coins), so be sure to pick wisely.
The game’s coin accepted coin sizes range from 5c to 50c and you can choose to play 1 to 15 lines, as your budget permits. For the chance to win the biggest possible payouts though it’s always advisable to spin the reels on the maximum permittable bet.
Note: A few years after it launched Tomb Raider, Microgaming released Tomb Raider II Secret of the Sword slot which has 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 paylines. Like its predecessor, this slot is also extremely popular among video game fans around the globe.
“COD4: Modern Warfare” is still one of the best COD titles in the series to date.
When the Call of Duty (CoD) video game made its debut in 2003 it was set during World War II. Between then and now it’s versions or ‘arcs’ have traversed World War II, Modern Warfare, Black Ops and even Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare.
So when leading online casino software vendor Cryptologic was granted a license to produce a Call of Duty-inspired slot, it chose Call of Duty’s Modern Warfare universe to set the slot in, and the result is the high-octane Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Call of Duty 4 is a 5 reel, 3 row, 25 payline slot game with a $100,000 maximum payout. Fans of the video game franchise will recognise its symbols from the Modern Warfare arc. But even if you’re new to the franchise, prepare to be dazzled by it 3D graphics.
To millions of video game fans around the world Call of Duty is the ‘Holy Grail’ of first-person shooter video games, with 30-odd incarnations to it name. So it’s no surprise it’s been immortalised as such an entertaining, exhilarating and top-paying video slot.
A great feature of this game is that it caters to slot fans with a low and high budgets and everything in between. For instance, you can play this game for as little as $0.01 a spin or as much as $500 a spin. Plus the game is crammed with lots of worthy features.
These include Scatters, Wilds and Free Spins which are all designed to pump up your winnings and entertain you at the same time. This slot has remained true to its source material which is why it’s proving to be such a hit at online casinos far and wide.
The “Hitman” series has been around for over 19 years time now. So I think it’s safe to say that Agent 47 is very much alive and kicking.
If ever there was a need for a contract killer-themed game, the Hitman video game has met that need and then some. Over and above the 7 successful games that have been released since 2000, this hit game also inspired the 2007 film of the same name.
So it was only a matter of time before Hitman became a slot sensation which it finally has courtesy of Microgaming. With its maximum 270,000 coin payout and bold graphics that do justice to those of the video games, this video slot ticks all the right boxes.
Beneath its 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 paylines this slot is as action-packed and feature-laden as it gets. For instance, it has a multitude of deadly game symbols that can help you make many winning combinations and cross your palm with silver, so to speak.
These include the Agent 47 logo (Scatter) a sniper rifle, arsenic, a skipping rope, pistols, a syringe, cash, notebook and a sharp knife. While most of these items are scary, they’re just the tools of the trade for the Hitman and the means for you to rack up winnings.
For example, land Insignia symbols on reels 1, 2 and 3 and you can choose one of them to reveal a cash prizes. Or land three Notebook symbols to trigger the Contract Bonus game where you must pick a target and a weapon en route to receiving a bonus.
Video games or online video slots? I would go for both.
All of the video slots above did justice to their video game counterparts and then some. But in terms of the game that was the most fun to play, that has to be CoD due to its punchy and striking graphics, rewarding features and more than worthwhile payouts.
