Blockbuster movies that have been licensed for Online Slots

Many of today’s movies are cinematic masterpieces, but their high quality graphics are not only astounding on the silver screen, many have been licensed and replicated by online casino software providers to create award-winning online slots which can be accessed by players across the globe on their PC’s, laptops and mobile devices.

This hasn’t gone unnoticed by Hollywood production houses that have collaborated with software developers like Playtech and Microgaming to produce a host of movie themed online slots, featuring the actual characters and plots from blockbuster movies, and often clips from the films themselves.

Here we’ll look at some of the blockbusters that have been successfully translated into online slots and are as much of a hit amongst players as the movies were amongst cinema goers.

Batman: The Dark Knight & Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

Based on the DC comic books, the Batman movies have been epic blockbusters at the box office with Batman: The Dark Knight (2008) and Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (2012) raking in over $1 billion worldwide.

Microgaming jumped at the chance of licensing these two movies for slots titles and produced two slots worthy of the Batman name. Both slots were produced in Microgaming’s own 5 reel, 243 Ways to Win format and include the company’s trademark Cinematic Free Spins feature wherein clips from the movies are displayed and the symbols on the reels spring to life. The first release Batman: The Dark Knight is also linked to one of the biggest Progressive Jackpots on the net.
