I just got back from G2E Gambling and Gaming Expo in Vegas with all the new slots being shown.
It makes sense to me that tv shows like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy went on to be successful slots. Shows with great characters like Wizard of Oz have had several good slots. Board games like Monopoly make sense as slots. But now it seems every tv show ever made is being made into a slot. True Blood slot machine? yep it is there. Really? One bonus round was "get Sookie's heart". -- it seemed far more bloodthirsty to me than romantic. Also saw Pawn Stars -- as you lose your money you can think about how you can get more money by pawning your watch.....yikes. Walking Dead --- they're coming to get you..... A little depressing isn't it?
Some tv shows just don't lend themselves to slots, no matter how popular the original show is.
I must say though that the improved graphics and lights and bonus rounds are making some of these new machines really fun to play. IronMan is up and running at the Gambling and Gaming Show and it is already in casinos -- I played it two days ago at the Gold Coast and it was mesmerizing.
And to keep players interested, older slots are being retooled with slightly different graphics and bonuses -- Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers 2 replacing Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers....
