Hollywood is the entertainment capital of the world, and over the decades, the big screen has been used to bring us some of the biggest and most exciting stories ever told. Many box office hits have inspired the creation of tie-in novels, comic books and video games, and a good number of them have also inspired the creation of some equally entertaining slot games. Need some proof? Then just take a look at these five slots based on blockbuster films…
Jurassic Park
This slot is based on the massive 1993 movie, which, thanks to state-of-the-art CGI, brought dinosaurs to life like never before. The Jurassic Park game itself was released by Microgaming in 2014, by which point online slots had the power to do the movie justice. When you launch the game you will find yourself in the depths of the park while the original score of the movie plays in the background.
Each spin of the five reels will give you 243 ways to win a prize, and the symbols appearing on those reels include the four main human stars of the hit movie (as played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough) and the five main dinosaurs: the Dilophosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Land three or more pieces of amber, and a Free Spins round will be triggered. Each dinosaur is associated with a different mode, and when you have played free spins 25 times you will be able to select which one is triggered.
With fully animated symbols (when forming part of a win) and actual clips from the movie, this game is a must-play for any fan of Michael Crichton’s gripping adventure.
When Terminator 2 first appeared on big screens in 1991, viewers were shocked to see that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had played the villain in the first movie, was now playing the good guy. Similarly, when Microgaming released this Terminator 2 online slot in 2014, players were shocked at how good it was.
This is a five-reel slot from Microgaming which gives you 243 ways to win in the main game and an even more impressive 1,024 ways to win during the Free Spins feature. Stylish icons showing the four playing card suits serve as the lower-paying symbols, while the main characters serve as the higher-paying ones. Arnie is obviously the most valuable symbol of all for standard prizes, but when you trigger the Free Spins round the T-1000 will have the power to transform into any other character. That liquid metal skill was bad news in the movie, but it can be very handy here.
Delivering as much action as the movie on which it is based, the Terminator 2 slot will have you coming back again and again.
Grease might well be ‘the word,’ but most of us know it as the smash musical that took movie theatres by storm way back in 1978. That’s a long time ago, no matter how you slice it, but the movie became an instant classic and is just as popular today as it was back then.
The Grease slot game was released in 2018 by Playtech and sticks close to the movie. Its five-reels are situated inside a classic fifties diner, and the symbols on the reels include vinyl records, milkshakes, the Greased Lightnin’ car and all of the main actors/characters from the film, including John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson.
Danny and Sandy can appear as reel-high symbols as well as regular single-cell symbols. Land a reel-high Danny or Sandy on the first reel, and you’ll be treated to a Rockin’ and a Rollin’ Respins round. However, the main feature is the Jukebox Bonus, which is triggered by getting three Grease scatter symbols on the reels.

Jumanji
Jumanji was a movie released in 1995 about a magical board game that gives its players far more than they bargained for. Originally starring Robin Williams, Jumanji was rebooted in 2017 and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson now has the leading role. This 2018 game from NetEnt is named after the first movie, but it focuses squarely on the board game common to all of the films, so if you are a fan of any of the Jumani adventures, you’ll love it.
An adventurous soundtrack and jungle effects bring this game to life from the start. It has a 3-4-5-4-3 format, 36 pay lines, and symbols include the usual playing card ranks (albeit in the distinctive Jumani font) as well as a variety of jungle animals who are just waiting to be unleashed.
There are four random features that can be triggered: Sticky Vines, Monsoon Wilds, Monkey Mayhem and Wild Stampede. Even better, when you land three or more scatter symbols, you will launch a Board Game feature that can give you up to eight dice rolls, with more rolls (and therefore more winning) being available within the feature itself.
Last, but not least, in 2020 the righteous development team at IGT gave us a slot based on Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. You may be too young to have seen the original 1989 movie or its 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, on their initial release, but a 2020 follow-up called Bill & Ted Face the Music has brought these two unlikely saviours of mankind to the forefront yet again.
Accompanied by a most excellent soundtrack and the kind of riffs that only the Wyld Stallyns could pull off, this slot gives you the chance to travel through time with Bill and Ted in an authentic recreation of their original adventure. Land three scatters, and you’ll trigger a Lock and Respins Bonus feature in which you need to collect as many historical figures on the reels as possible. The more characters you collect, the more you’ll win, and that’s just awesome, dude.
