Most Popular Slots
IGT is the maker of the most popular slots and slot machines in traditional land-based casinos. They've been probably the biggest force in the slot machine sector for years now, and their dominance shows no signs of slowing, although Bally is certainly a worthwhile competitor. Strictly Slots magazine occasionally hold reader polls to determine which slots are most popular, and I've listed some of the most popular slots below. Some people also include video poker games in these types of lists, but since video poker games don't have spinning reels, I don't consider them an actual slot machine game.
Alien Video Slots
This slot machine has been listed as one of the scariest gaming experiences, and is “out of this world” with its graphics. It has been voted “Best Video Slot Graphics/Design” and “Best New Video Slots Machine.”
The Beverly Hillbillies Video Slots
Game shows are not the only tv shows to become licensed slot machine game properties. The Addams Family and the Beverly Hillbillies are two massively popular slot machine games based on classic television shows.
Cleopatra Slots
Cleopatra slots is immensely popular with players. Cleopatra Slots offers 5 reels and 9 paylines. The game includes Sphinx symbols, which are scatter symbols, Cleopatra symbols, which are wild, and frequent free bonus spins.
Double Diamond and Triple Diamond Slots
Double Diamond and Triple Diamond are both slot machine classics and perennial favorites. The original Double Diamond game is a 3 reel slot with as many as 9 paylines, and the newer Triple Diamond game is a 5 reel, 9 payline video slot version of the same game.
Elvis Slots
What can you say about any licensed property from the Elvis Presley empire? Elvis has been dead for almost 30 years, but his legend lives on with this incredibly popular slot machine game.
Enchanted Unicorn Video Slots
For anyone interested in princes, damsels, magic, etc. this is the fantasy slot machine for you. Was ranked “Favorite Video Slot Machine.”
Five Times Pay Slots
Having been ranked “Best New Reel Slot” in 2004, this slot machine does not show signs of slowing in its popularity. It is a 3 reel, 1 credit multiplier, but can come in other configurations as well. It is “five times the fun.”
Hexbreaker Video Slots
Considered to be one of the “Best New Video Slot Machines” out there, the “Hexbreaker” features a lucky cat called HooDoo, as well as a 5-line, 13-reel combination. It also has a top award of $200,000 which is bound to change anybody’s luck!
I Dream of Jeannie
The I Dream of Jeannie slot machine game is a big hit from IGT, and the game has recently been refurbished to include Barbara Eden's still oh-so-sexy voice.
Jeopardy! Slots
Game shows are incredibly popular with slot machine players, and IGT and other slot manufacturers cash in on that fact with not only the Jeopardy! slot machine, but also with the Wheel of Fortune and Price is Right slot machine games.
Megabucks Slots
The Megabucks series of slot machines are progressives, and they're well-known for consistently paying out the biggest slot jackpots in history. Megabucks games are found almost everywhere slot machines are played, in almost every state that allows slot machines. Megabucks is the game to play if you want to take a shot at becoming a millionaire.
The Price is Right Video Slots
This one makes you feel as if you are right there betting how much everything is worth. This slot machine uses the music from the show as well as voice-overs from Rod Roddy. It was also voted “Most Innovative Video Slot Machine” as well as “Best Video Slot Bonus Round.”
Tabasco Slots
You can’t beat a slot machine that has been voted “Best New Video Slot Machine” and “Best Video Slot Sound” – with both receiving 5’s in each category. But wait, there’s more! It also received a 5 for “Most Innovative Video Slot Machine.” Talk about top honors!
Top Dollar Slots
This slot machine uses a combination of “Triple Diamond” and “Double Diamond” with a top box bonus game to give you “Favorite Reel Slot” and “Luckiest Reel Slot.”
Wheel of Fortune Slots
The Wheel of Fortune slot machine game was one of the first games with a truly compelling bonus round. During the bonus round, a player actually gets to spin the wheel, just like he's on the show. And since the giant wheel is ever-present, looking down over the actual slot machine unit; and since the recording on the game repeats "Wheel. Of. Fortune!" incessantly, it's impossible to NOT take notice of that chance of winning big by spinning the wheel.
Conclusion
The slot machines that are most popular tend to be perennial favorites like Double Diamond and Triple Diamond, or licensed TV properties like Wheel of Fortune and the Beverly Hillbillies. But if a game is networked into a big enough jackpot, like Megabucks, then players will sit up and take notice of that, too.
