Online slots are the most popular type of casino game. They are easy and fun to play plus they can easily be adapted to different genres and characters. Videogaming is a good example, and we have some fantastic videogame based online slots to play, some of which are available at Casumo Casino. However, there are many top retro videogame characters who have yet to be used in online slots and you can find our top 5 below.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog was created by Japanese videogame giant Sega in the early 1990s. His creation was born from the fact Sega needed a mascot and leading game title to compete with Nintendo and Super Mario. The first game in the Sonic Hedgehog series was released in 1991 and as the name of the character suggests, Sonic was a hedgehog but far from an ordinary hedgehog. Sonic was blue and could run at supersonic speeds in a bid to thwart the evil Dr. Robotnik. Anyone who had an interest in Videogames in the 90s will recognise Sonic and a recent movie release means he is perfect for an online slot game.
Pacman
The original Pacman game is a maze-based videogame featuring a character by the same name. The aim of the game was to move Pacman around the maze and eat all the dots while avoiding the ghosts. The original Pacman game was released in 1980 and is considered by many people in the videogame industry to be one of the most influential games of all time. That alone is enough for Pacman to deserve a slot game, with the ghosts and the Pacman character all featuring on the reels.
Link
The Legend of Zelda is an ongoing videogame franchise. However, the game was originally released in 1986 and that means the main character, Link, qualifies as a retro videogame character. The original game was developed and published by Nintendo and boasts a variety of gameplay styles, including battle, exploration, puzzles, and adventure. Link is a young, elf-like character dressed in green and he starts the game with little more than a small shield. The aim of the original game was to collect eight fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom to rescue Princess Zelda. This theme could easily be adapted for an online slot game.
Mega Man
Another retro videogame character who deserves to have their own slot game is Mega Man. A Japanese science fiction video game franchise created in 1987, Mega Man is a robot who has been converted into a fighting robot. The mission in the original game was to defend the world from Dr. Wily and his robots. The “Mega Buster” was a cannon attached to the arm of Mega Man and it could be used to destroy enemies. With Mega Man himself plus the enemy robots and weapons, this video game character would make a thrilling slot game.
Bomberman
The original Bomberman videogame was released in Japan in 1983 and has remained popular, with the most recent game produced in 2022. Bomberman worked in an underground factory making bombs but wanted to escape having heard robots become human when reaching the surface. Bomberman destroys enemies on the way to the surface and transforms into an organic human being. Bomberman has stood the test of time and deserves to be made into an online slot game.
