You do it, your friends do it, and most likely everyone else in your circles does it from time to time. Gambling is one of life’s greatest joys. It’s pure untamed fun, and it doesn’t hurt that you can get some cash when you got at it, too. Still, while money is one of the most important reasons people gamble for, for others it’s not really about the money. Many are in it for the excitement, and gambling is exciting.
The adrenaline rush you get when you gamble is just something else. And few things in life can provide that kind of adrenaline, a few legal things anyway. Still, sometimes you need to spice things up a bit and try out something new. In that case, online themed casinos are something you might want to give a go.
Why themed casino games?
Well, gambling online is fun, but it can get a bit tedious at times. If you spend 10 hours playing the same slot game, you’re bound to get bored. This is why content creators on these online casinos started coming up with themes for the games, to make them more visually appealing for their punters, and it works.
People find the same game with different visuals or theme much more exciting than your same old layout and design, and it helps that the designers change the themes often and have more than just one new theme. These are some of the most popular casino themes you can find in online casinos.
1. Esqueleto Explosivo
Taking place on the Mexican day of the dead festival, Esqueleto Explosivo is an online slot game with a very cool design and theme. The characters you’re playing with have names and skulls, and the skulls happen to be the reels.
Moreover, every time you win, the band of characters you’re playing with will start performing a song. This themed slot game is particularly interesting for music lovers.
2. Horror/slasher
It wouldn’t make sense to have themes for a game without including the horror/slasher genre. Whether it’s vampires, zombies, serial killers, or whatever scares the life out of you, it’s pretty certain you’re going to find a slot game or two covering that area. Notable mentions include Blood Suckers II, Psycho Slots, and Ooh Aah Dracula. As you can see, even Dracula himself gets a game of his own.
3. Movie Slots
A movie buff and would like to play an interesting casino game? You’re in luck because movie slots are some of the most popular online, and for good reason. You get to see some of your favorite characters from the cinema on your screen while you’re playing the game, and it gets better.
Some of these slot games even have video clips and soundtracks from your favorite films, like the Hulk and Batman. They also make some for popular TV shows. Vikings the tv show slot is one of the more popular ones when it comes to TV shows.
4. Megadeth
Making sure to cover all spectrums and cater to all needs, they even have a slot game designed for metalheads. Legendary thrash metal band Megadeth features in this self-titled slot game, and you get to play with the lead man and former Metallica member himself, Dave Mustaine, alongside some of his band members.
5. Ancient Egypt
Another logical inclusion in the world of themed slots, Ancient Egypt inspired slots are everywhere. It makes sense if you think about it, seeing as how rich and diverse the ancient Egyptian culture was, and the potential it has for fun and adrenaline driven games.
Some of the most popular ancient Egypt themed slot games include Book of Ra, Throne of Egypt, and Cleopatra’s Gold. These games provide highly entertaining user experience, and this particular theme happens to be one of the most popular in the online casino business.
6. Rock Bands
It wouldn’t make sense to have just slot games for metalheads. There are plenty of famous rock bands with slot games designed after them, and if you happen to be into the 80s and 90s rock music scene, these would definitely appeal to you. Famous rock band inspired slots include Guns N’Roses, Motorhead, and the man himself, Jimi Hendrix.
The sheer number of options you can find in an online casino is just staggering. You often find yourself stuck in front of a dozen games, not knowing which to choose. Slot games are often the easy choice. They’re fun, easy and don’t require much thinking, and they’re addictive.
And it’s better if you opt for a themed slot game, because normal ones can get a bit boring real fast, while the themed ones always change skin and try out new ideas. That makes it much more interesting to play.
