Top Film and TV Slot Games

Slot machines have been one of the most popular pastimes globally for quite some time and a definitive staple in the iGaming market. Since travelling to Las Vegas or to a casino isn’t a viable option for everyone, online slots have become an attractive alternative to bettors and casual gamers worldwide. In addition, most operators offer large catalogues of games for all budgets and tastes, available on multiple platforms, including mobile devices.

Last year, with the COVID-19 pandemic, cities all over the world went under lockdowns and people had to stay home to comply with social distancing measures, leading online casinos and other iGaming activities to record a surge in the number of players who were able to keep the action going from the safety of their homes. 

One of the coolest aspects of online slots is the wide variety of games and different features. With several major software providers in the industry, new slot games are released regularly, with better graphics, animations, and rewards. Themed games are also very popular, and the leading developers in the market have licensed games from renowned movies and TV shows.

Since the offer of online slots and online casino games is almost endless, it can be difficult sometimes to find the best games to play. So, in this article, we’re covering some of the most popular slot games based on movies and TV shows and all their special features and rewards.
