Microgaming’s Best TV Themed Slots Adaptations

A look at three of the best TV themed slots from Microgaming.

Microgaming has secured a lot of contracts with major producers over the years. They’re most recognized for their movie themed slots adaptations, like Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, Bridesmaids, Terminator 2 and many others. Commonly overlooked are the leading digital developer’s array of TV themed slot machines.

The company has launched a number of great TV themed slots for the online casino industry. Having personally played the majority of their 500+ slots creations, it was pretty easy to pick 3 favorites. Without further ado, here’s my assessment of the best TV themed slots from Microgaming.

Game of Thrones

Coming in at #1 is the 243 ways-to-win edition of Game of Thrones. Now in its seventh and finale season, Game of Thrones is based on George R. R. Martin’s best selling novel series, A Song of Fire and Ice. If you love the series – and based on ratings, you probably do – you’ll absolutely love this game.

The Four Houses are all represented in the game’s features; Baratheon, Lannister, Stark and Targaryan. Each represents a free spins phase, each equipped with different features.

House Baratheon Free Games: 8 free spins with a 5x multiplier

House Lannister Free Games: 10 free spins with a 4x multiplier

House Stark Free Games: 14 free spins with a 3x multiplier

House Targaryan Free Games: 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier

Game of Thrones is a highly immersive game, and definitely the best TV themed slots game I’ve played from the Microgaming portfolio.

It also comes in a Game of Throne 15 Payline edition, which is almost identical to the first, but with a few differences. Namely, the features are given extra boosters to offset the decrease in paylines. In this version, the free games offer the following features:

House Baratheon Free Games: 8 free spins with a 5x multiplier and 3x stacked crest symbols

House Lannister Free Games: 10 free spins with a 4x multiplier and 4x stacked crest symbols

House Stark Free Games: 14 free spins with a 3x multiplier and 5x stacked crest symbols

House Targaryan Free Games: 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier and 6x stacked crest symbols

Bullseye Slot

My second favorite among Microgaming’s TV themed slot machines is Bullseye, based on the UK’s old hit game show of the same name. If you never saw the show, you may not realize just how perfectly adapted the slot version is. It even encompasses the TV show’s famous comic relief of host Jim Bowen.

Because it’s based on a 1980’s game show, most of the symbols in the game are of popular prizes of that era, like old cars, caravans and the ever-present speedboat, along with the show’s famous low-end prizes of dart flights, tankards and plush Bully toy.

If you’re looking for sheer entertainment, grab your coin purse and your darts, because this is one of the best TV themed slots for grins and giggles.

The Osbournes

Another classic television series that captivated audiences all over the world was The Osbournes, featuring heavy metal rock singer Ozzy Osbourne (of Black Sabbath), his lovely wife and manager Sharron, and their children Jack and Kelly. It was a madhouse, but a hilarious one at that!

Microgaming captured that ‘Crazy Train‘ of madness in its branded slot, The Osbournes, featuring Ozzy’s most popular songs. All of the show’s main characters appear on the reels in characteristic poses, alongside golden globe awards, microphones, guitars, family photos and Sharron’s spoiled little pooch, Minnie (famous for leaving ‘presents’ all over the house).

Minnie is one of the game’s scatters, delivering free spins with a 2x multiplier. The door knocker is another scatter that triggers a total-bet multiplier pick-me bonus.

Honestly, this is more of a niche game as far as TV themed slots go. Only true fans of the show will appreciate it as much as I do.
