Slots are fun to play. Not just because of the thrill of landing a winning combination and seeing the reels come to life. But because of the many exciting themes available, from sports and movies to TV shows, music and fairy tales, the list is endless.
Even celebrities get in on the action and lend their likeness to slots. So, we’ve looked at some of the celebs who have lent their names to well-known slot games.
Singers on the slots
If there’s one type of celebrity that really makes a loud sound on the slots, it’s got to be singers. They’ve got colourful personalities that make them shine on stage, and this is something that can be transferred onto the reels. On slots, it goes one step further, too, with properly licensed slots featuring legitimate soundtracks. Here’s a look at our top hits:
Elvis: The King – based on the one and only Mr Presley and as bright as one of his later Vegas shows. It might not be the most innovative slot, but with various symbols showing the King and ‘Hound Dog’, ‘A Little Less Conversation’ and ‘Let Yourself Go’ playing on each spin, it’s a nice touch.
Michael Jackson – more royalty of the pop world, this slot was released in 2016 and plays over five reels and 25 paylines. Just enough to give you a glimpse into the King of Pop’s work. With the singer’s hit music playing in the background, the free spins and Platinum Bonus round give you real opportunities to play for real money. There is no place in the slot for Bubbles, his monkey.
Jimi Hendrix – as part of NetEnt’s series of music slots, Jimi Hendrix brings the singer back to life. Get lost in the music, play the Pick and Click bonus game for real money rewards, or rack up your spin total with the Purple Haze free spins.
Guns N’ Roses – every great rock band needs a great rock slot, and NetEnt did just that for Guns N’ Roses. You’ll be very welcomed into the rock jungle with re-spins, stacked wilds and randomly activated Legend Spins.
Motorhead – NetEnt did it again with another rock slot. Played across 76 fixed lines, a Snaggletooth mystery symbol and the wild help you to land winning combinations. But get three scatters, trigger the ‘Ace of Spades’ and take in the show of free spins and prizes.
KISS – As you can see, music celebrities on the reels aren’t something new. But Play N’Go recent release KISS Reels of Rock, which you can find at platforms like STSBet, brings us the gods of rock and roll in an exciting 6×4 slot with 4096 ways to win. Featuring the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman and the Catman, this slot is certainly a great choice for fans of the legendary band.
Acting on the reels
Of course, when you’re looking to try out these types of slots, you want somewhere licensed and fully regulated to better appreciate these games. Once you’ve found that, you can then try out some slots based on famous actors, such as:
While the actor may have been taken from us far too young, James Dean lives on in NextGen’s five reel, 25 payline slot. Symbols include motorcycles, movie reels, sunglasses and an image of the handsome actor himself as the wild. This smooth, smouldering slot is a nice homage to James Dean with respins and multipliers.
Bruce Lee – the legendary martial artist, is immortalised in his own slot. It’s a simple game to play, with easy-to-understand bonus features that launch when you get three or more of the scatter symbols. It’s no-nonsense action that packs a punch. Like Bruce Lee himself.
Marilyn Monroe – another icon makes its way to the slots courtesy of Playtech. While you’re collecting wild symbols and racking up the free spins, the actress herself appears on the side of the screen in her iconic white dress. Nice touch.
The sports stars do it, too
There are many slots to which actors and singers have lent their likeness, but the celebrity input doesn’t end there. Even sporting stars do too:
Mike Tyson – you don’t need to be a boxer to enjoy this slot. Just sit back, spin the reels, and look for five Mike Tyson symbols to land on a payline. You can double your winnings with the Fortune Bet feature and make a real knockout into your account.
Hulk Hogan – from the boxing ring to the wrestling ring, Hulk Hogan brings yellow, lycra and handlebar moustaches to life. The Hulk himself is the wild symbol, helping you create winning combinations, and when he appears dressed in glorious gold on the third reel, the other symbols become wild. Tag team with the Hulk and play towards epic rewards.
Franki Dettori – okay, hear us out; we did say sports stars. But Frankie Dettori gets a special mention as this jokey-inspired slot is a progressive jackpot slot. Galloping Wild re-spins, stacked wilds, multipliers, and Golden Darby Free Spins are just some of the brilliant bonus features to take advantage of.
You’ll never be spoiled for choice when looking for celebrity slots. From Dolly Parton to Ozzy Osbourne and all the slots we’ve mentioned above – if you want celebrity action, you’ll be sure to find it.
