Branded Online Slots Based On Popular Movies

Added: February 11, 2015

The 87th Academy Awards will be announced on Sunday February 22. It is time to celebrate the movies in online slot games. There is been a trend of late to design online slot games based on blockbuster Hollywood films, many of which have won Oscars in their time. The leading software provider Playtech has an excellent collection of such online slot games in its portfolio. This article reviews the best of these games, which are live at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino, Mansion Casino and Bet365.

Rocky was a series of movies produced by MGM and starring Sylvester Stallone. The first movie was nominated for ten categories and won three Oscars. Stallone as Rocky is the wild symbol. Some of the other symbols are his opponents from the various Rocky movies. Being a branded slot, clips from the movies are played in the win animations. The letters R, O, C, K and Y are also symbols and when they appear on the reels in the correct order you win a payout of 5 times your bet. The highlight of the slot machine is the Knockout Bonus game on the second screen. Rocky boxes against a chosen opponent and for every round that he wins you receive a cash award.

The Mummy is a fantasy movie from Universal Studios that was not as much awarded as Rocky, but equally popular. Playtech has created a branded slot game based on this movie. The characters from the movie like Rick O'Connell, Evelyn Carnahan and High Priest Imhotep appear as symbols on the reels. As in Rocky, winning combinations activate scenes from the movie. The highlight of The Mummy slot game is the Lost City Adventure. When it is randomly activated you have to select ancient boxes to win bonus points and one of six special features. These can then be activated in the main game. The Scorpion Scatter Feature converts 'The Rock' to an extra scatter symbol and offers scatter payouts. In the Expanding Mummy Feature the Mummy symbol becomes an expanding wild. The other features also work in a similar manner. The Mummy slot game includes a free spins feature. You will be awarded 5 free spins and one super spin. In the free spins the wild symbols are accumulated and then randomly distributed in the super spin. Another feature is the Mummy Hunt bonus game on the second screen. In this feature you have to kill up to ten mummies to win bonuses.
