Big screen to the smallest: The best movie-inspired slot machines

When a new movie is released, it hits theaters first, followed by its release on home media, then Pay-Per-View, then network television – this is kind of the circle of life for feature films.

They start on the big screen then move to smaller ones – TV sets – finally ending up on tablet and smartphone screens. Streaming is not their final destination, though – there are more than one ways movies can end up on the smallest screens.

Like in the case of the movies below, which were revived as video slot machines at Vegas Palms online casino.

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is perhaps the most memorable movie from the 1990s. Based on Michael Crichton’s novel with the same title, Stephen Spielberg’s movie tells the story of a major scientific breakthrough that goes horribly wrong, putting the lives of those directly involved (as well as the whole world) on the line.

Jurassic Park is more than just a movie – it’s the reason why dinosaurs have become popular once again. Its two sequels failed to live up to its success – more than two decades had to pass for a new Jurassic Park movie worthy of the original to be released. And its release was preceded by the launch of a slot machine reviving the original, at the Vegas Palms Casino.

The Jurassic Park slot machine is to this day one of the most played ones at the Vegas Palms, ever since its release in 2014. Just as the movie it’s based on, the slot machine focuses not on the actors, but the dinosaurs – all of its features are related to them.

Terminator 2 Judgement Day

Judgement Day was the pinnacle of the Terminator franchise. Released in 1991, the movie won four Oscars and is currently holding the 41st position on IMDb’s all-time top movies list.

The franchise went downhill from there – no other movie in the series, not even last year’s Terminator: Genisys could even come close to its success. This is perhaps the reason why Vegas Palms players were so eager to finally play the game when its release was announced.

When it finally hit the casino, the Terminator 2 slot machine was an instant success. To this day, it is one of the most played games there, with thousands of players seeking it out day after day.

Bridesmaids

Those who haven’t seen Bridesmaids might think of it as a girlie flick, which couldn’t be further from the truth. The movie received two Oscar nominations and was very well received by the public and the audience alike.

The slot machine inspired by Bridesmaids is a lot like the movie: the 2015 game is awfully pink, and filled with “girlies” things like ribbons and flowers but underneath it hides a game that’s every slot machine fan’s dream, with tons of bonuses, side games, and special features. Released in 2015, the game is highly appreciated both by the movie’s fans and avid slots players alike.
