Branded online slots are a popular niche in the online casino world, and game developers are constantly thinking up new ways themes to make their games even more interesting. Comic book characters, popular movies, video games – everything has been done before. However, more and more online casino developers are modeling their online slots after game shows, a popular program that almost everyone enjoys watching.
Who doesn’t love game shows? Everyone, at some point in time in their life, has enjoyed watching people win money or prizes on television. Now, it’s their chance to “come on down” and spin the Wheel of Fortune.
Wager Works was one of the first developers to create a game show-themed slots game, Wheel of Fortune. The game plays like any other online slots game with 5 reels and 15 paylines, with symbols that feature luxury vacation destinations and contestants. It is only when the player gets to the bonus round that the game really begins to look like the actual show: the player gets to spin a wheel and is awarded the prize amount that is displayed.
The Price is Right online slots game has also been designed by Wager Works. It is a 5 reel 9 payline game with a maximum bet of 45 coins. The bonus game feature on The Price is Right are remarkable, modeled after everyone’s favourite game: Plinko. Players can also spin the infamous wheel for a chance to win even more impressive prizes.
These games have spawned many imitations and spin-offs by other software developers like Microgaming and Cryptologic, so no matter where you play, there is always a game show slot waiting for you!
