The World of Themed Slot Games: From Ancient Egypt to Hollywood

In the original slots game, the one-armed bandit had fruits and a bell spinning around drums. This was exciting for that time, in the late 1800s but not so exciting today. The slots industry is enormous, with many providers developing new games regularly and coming up with new ideas, new subjects, and new ways to play, fighting for the attention and money of players. The more recent games are bright and colorful and tell stories that take players on virtual journeys worldwide or use their imagination to visit superheroes, different worlds, underwater and futuristic ideas.

How the Slots Games Entertain Players

Every game has a theme, and many games now start with a small introductory movie allowing players to meet characters and situations. This could be a jungle stampede with elephants and zebras and the smaller animals left behind who are the main symbols in the game, or it could be a storyline about a wizard and his potions with symbols including bats, cats, and colorful potions. Each slot game consists of a paytable full of information on the game and details of how to win. The paytable also includes payout potentials for each symbol, and here, players can get to know the symbols and characters in the game. Some paytables even name the characters, and the descriptions of how to play use these names. Whether playing a game in the Far East or moving back to the Wild West and saloons, players are entertained, excited, and sometimes even educated, giving them more than a game with fruit and bells.
