While the entire remote gambling industry continues to evolve as we head into the second quarter of 2015, there are some bits of it that are growing at a faster than average rate. Take online slot machines, for example, which is growing at a faster rate than ever and continues to drive billions of dollars in revenue globally. The Internet is well suited to slot games- particularly with the power of the machines that many of us now use, coupled with faster and faster connection speeds. At the heart of this growth are a number of themed games and character-based titles, which are highly engaging and are attracting players from all sorts of walks of life.
Let’s take a look at three of the top slot games that we think are going to be big hits in 2015.
Jurassic Park
There is a lot of competition in this marketplace, and the Jurassic Park video slot from Microgaming seems to have got off to a roaring start and is looking like it will be one of themost popular games of the year, and that’s even before the release of the new movie, which is due to be released in the summer. The Jurassic Park franchise returns with a vengeance to the silver screen in 2015. The current slot is impressive enough as it stands, with 243 pay lines and great graphics capable of engaging even casual players. Might we see an updated version later in the year? Possibly, Microgaming will launch a version ties to a progressive jackpot slot, like Mega Moolah, for example, much as they did with the Dark Knight Slot Games (there are 2 versions- a progressive and non-progressive game). We’ll see.
Monopoly Plus Slot Machine
Over to IGT and the Monopoly Slot, which is based on the classic board game. The Monopoly Plus slot machine is a five reel game with big bonus features, 30 pay lines and a familiar layout. Basically, you start with between two and four spins before making your way around the virtual board in the quest for cash bonuses and winnings. This has proved to be a hugely popular slot game, and this is set to continue throughout 2015 and beyond. If you are a fan of classic board game themes, you’ll love it.
Avalon 2
Another slot game that offers 243 pay lines – which is where pretty much all of the premium Microgaming Casino Slots sit. The Avalon 2 slot has a great design with up to 8 distinct bonus rounds, so there are lots of different ways of winning either through regular gameplay or the innovative, bonus rounds. This is a popular slot game this year, and we don’t think that is going to change for the rest of 2015.
