The Dirty Dancing Branded Online Slot

Added: August 30, 2018

Branded slots based on musicals have an advantage. The audio dimension can be activated to the fullest to add to the visuals. Dirty Dancing video slot from Playtech is a perfect example. You can play it at online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

Dirty Dancing has become a cult film on account of its sexually suggestive dance sequences that are being reproduced on dance floors even after 30 years. A statistic released by Playtech was that this was the first movie to sell more than a million home videos. The video slot remains true to the film and contains a host of memorable scenes and audio content.

Johnny Castle played by Patrick Swayze is the wild symbol. It also awards the top line payout of 5000 coins. The Dirty Dancing logo is the scatter symbol that awards payouts multiplied by the total bet. Two other characters from the movie are the high paying symbols. Frances Baby Houseman is in love with Johnny and Penny is Johnny’s childhood friend. Since the film was set in the 1960s, there are a number of retro icons like sports car, dancing shoes, vinyl records and a portable radio. The low playing symbols are the playing card icons designed from sparkling diamonds.

Dirty Dancing video slot has a number of randomly triggered features in the main game. In Whirling Wilds, Johnny and Baby dance across the reels randomly turning up to 6 symbols into wild. The Mambo feature awards up to 35 free spins through a bonus wheel. Other benefits can be a 2x multiplier for all free spins and dancing wild reels. Then there is a multi-level bonus game on the second screen triggered by three jewel symbols in a row. You pick boxes for Baby and win cash prizes or items. If you pick three items you advance to the next level. If you reach the sixth level then you will pick either the Johnny progressive jackpot or the Baby progressive jackpot.

When the slot game was released, James Frendo, Casino Director of Playtech, said, “Dirty Dancing is such an iconic brand that it was an obvious choice for us to transform into a leading branded slot. The game is sure to be an instant hit with our licensees’ players both old and new.” The slot game was developed under an agreement with Lionsgate that holds the copyright for Dirty Dancing.
