Slot Machine Themes

Most slot machines are themed to try to add a bit more interest to the game. Older slots used the standard fruits on the reels (hence the name fruit machines) with different fruits resulting in varying payouts.

When online casinos became popular slot machines were given updated themes so that more slot machines could be offered under one casino roof. These themes are often quite cheesy concentrating on things such as holidays, desert islands, buried treasure or certain popular sports.

More recently some casinos have tried to move away from the cheesier themed games in favour of games themed on popular television shows, films and board games. These are deemed to be more fun for fans of the television show, film board games and also add more credibility to the casino for having gained the licence for the game.

Examples of popular television shows that have been developed into slot machines at online casinos include Baywatch and Deal or No Deal. Film themes have been more popular offline with the likes of Star Wars and Aliens becoming big hits and board game themes such as Cluedo and Monopoly are widely played online.

Of course the Slot Machine Odds and Payouts from these are the same as they would be with any other theme, however much the player may know about the television programme the game is based on. Playing a game with an interesting theme can make the game a little more exciting though.
