Know that if you are a cinephile and love spinning digital reels for coin-based prizes, you are in luck. The gaming industry has multiple branded slots that implement purchased licenses that allow them to employ the likeness of some of cinema’s most recognizable characters. Thus, below, we list ten examples of the movie and gambling industries joining forces to create a different kind of entertainment magic.

Jumanji

Newer movie watchers likely associate the Jumanji franchise with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Yet, children of the 1990s link it with Robin Williams and the fantastical Joe Johnston film that came out in 1995. Released by Sony Pictures, this feature boasts an Amblin Entertainment vibe, that classic 1980s magical feel. Jumanji grossed $263 million worldwide and became a massive hit on home video. Its slot iteration is a NetEnt creation that implements low variance, a default RTP of 96.33%, a 3-4-5-4-3 layout, and a max win of x504. The game plays significant tribute to the original movie via its Monsoon Wilds, Monkey Mayhem, Wild Stampede feature, and Sticky Vines.

The Goonies – Hey You Guys

Directed by Lethal Weapon mastermind Richard Donner, The Goonies came out a decade before Jumanji, and it is a children’s adventure flick produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment that the US National Film Registry has noted as a culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant film that must get preserved. Four Goonies slots exist, all from Blueprint, and the one we analyze here is the Hey You Guys spinner, a 5×3 one with ten paylines released in August 2023. It has a medium-high variance and a max win of x2,000 on a top bet of $100. It is a cash-collecting title that incorporates four reel modifiers. And it is a bit simpler than some of its predecessors.

Terminator 2

Judgment Day is the sequel to James Cameron’s action masterpiece 1984 Terminator, which hit theaters in 1991 (Judgment Day, that is). The project got considered by many as a massive gamble at the time due to its staggering production budget of over a hundred million dollars. However, it justified this investment as it went on to become the year’s highest-grossing film, generating more than fifty million in ticket sales. Games Global, or Microgaming, unleashed the Terminator 2 online slot in June 2014, which has a T-800 vision feature and a free spin round. In truth, this is not an overly complex title. It is a simple one where you can see clips from the film and win rewards up to x2,933 your stake.

Rocky

Rocky is a classic that needs no introduction. It snagged an Oscar for Best Picture and was one of many high-quality movies released in 1976, a terrific year for cinema in the US. Written and starring Sylvester Stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen, Rocky is so much more than a boxing movie. It is an underdog drama that defies genre. Playtech has taken up the mammoth task to bring this beloved film and its characters to the slotverse. It did so with a licensed product that not only features the franchise’s main four characters, Apollo, Rocky, Paulie, and Adrian. But it also adds Mr. T’s Clubber Land (Rocky III). We are going to be honest with you. This is a rudimentary spinner, but you should expect that, as it came out in 2010.

Expendables Megaways

2010 was also the year that the first Expendables movie came out, a series that peaked with the franchised first sequel. It all went downhill from there, with the fourth addition, stylized as Expend6ables, getting wide distribution in late 2023 after multiple delays to only dramatically flop at the box office. Stakelogic has two Expendables games. Both feature painterly graphics and the Megaways engine. The one we run down there focuses on Dolph Lundgren, Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Terry Crews. It has up to 117,648 betways, a cascading mechanic, free spins, and high variance.

Creature From the Black Lagoon

Here we have a cinematic milestone, the 1954 3D black-and-white creature feature – the Creature From the Black Lagoon. A film originally projected using the polarized light method. Fame for its monster design and suit, this is a classic that has seen multiple failed remake attempts. NetEnt successfully brought this film onto digital reels in January 2020 through a high variance, twenty-payline slot with a top prize of x1,250. It has atmospheric graphics, authentic video clips, repspins, and a free spin mode with four levels.

Ted

Seth MacFarlane’s Ted was one of 2012 most substantial theatrical hits, generating almost $550 million worldwide, starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Joel McHale, and Seth MacFarlane as the voice of the hedonistic teddy bear – Ted. This film ranks as the second highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever, with the sequel to the Hangover franchise sitting at the top of this standing. Ted also got a sequel that was not as well-received as the first one. Blueprint has multiple Ted slots. The one discussed here is their initial one, a medium variance product with twenty paylines and an RTP of 95.81%. It has multiple extra features, and among these are the Wheel of Fortune bonus and Bar Crawl mode with two stages. Then come the Ted Free Spins, Super Mart Spins, Flash Free Spins, and a Big Money mini-game.

Highlander

This 1986 fantasy film was a sleeper hit on VHS that did not make much noise in its initial theatrical release. It introduced the world to French actor Christopher Lambert, who was already somewhat famous in France, primarily due to Luc Besson’s Metro. And Highlander saw him get a major rub from Sean Connery, who played a memorable supporting role in this film, playing a Spanish swordsman. Highlander spawned multiple sequels and a TV spin-off. The Games Global slot based on this movie hit casino lobbies in 2017 as a low-medium variance spinner that does not feature Connery but has the other two main characters from the original film.

Robocop

According to many, Robocop is a movie that redefined the action genre in the US, as it incorporated satire and previously unprecedented levels of gore for a mainstream action flick. Directed by Dutch master Paul Verhoeven and starring Peter Weeler, this project got conceived by its writer Edward Neumeier, while Ed worked on the set of Blade Runner five years before the release of Robocop. We have to admit. We have always been fans of Playtech’s Robocop slot for years on account of its quirky Shootout Spin round. The default RTP of this 5×3 spinner is 96.24%, listing a betting range starting at $0.25 and ending at $250.
