Movies and TV shows, especially reality game shows have been ruling the TRPs for over 60 years now, where millions of viewers switch on to their favourite shows and form their own bond with the shows and their characters. Now, you can find video games, action figurines of your beloved characters and merchandise in addition to other collectables in the market. In recent times, gambling fans have appreciated and embraced the arrival of themed slots inspired by TV shows, be it in the land-based slots or online casinos. Here are some of the top shows from the world of television that influence the iGaming industry currently.

Best Online Casino Games based on TV Shows

With over 80% of some of the most successful TV shows in America converted into slot games, now players can actually make a huge amount of money playing slots based on their favourite shows. At the onset of online casinos, the choice of games was typical and quite unlike what you’d find today. 

  • A historical drama on the lives of Viking tribes, the Vikings TV series is immensely popular and all of its favoured characters are included in the slot game that’s been launched by NetEnt. Set at night-time in the Norwegian fields, the game’s soundtrack sets the tone well and its characters and symbols make for one of the best games inspired by a TV show.
  • HBO’s Game of Thrones has been a record breaker in every sense of the word! An incredible show featuring strong performances and stunning visuals, inspired developers to release an online slot based on GOT.

Deal or No Deal

Switching from the dramatic landscapes of the Vikings and Game of Thrones, to lighter forms of entertainment, the game show Deal or No Deal has been widely acclaimed in the industry. Based purely on patience and a whole lot of luck, the show has been in the running since 2005 and considered one of the most popular TV shows across the globe with regional versions of it in over 100 countries, the show has influenced Playtech to making a video slot game on the same theme. There are some other casino games as well that are based on the show, like Deal or No Deal Scratch Card and Deal or No Deal Roulette.

The Million Pound Drop

A show received immensely well, especially in the UK, The Million Pound Drop was a quiz-themed show by Endemol with a huge number of celebrity appearances on the show. Endemol later cashed in on the show’s popularity and launched a video slot game initially for the UK audience. There are some new online casinos in the UK that offer a number of TV show inspired slot games.

American Idol Slot

A premier singing reality show in the US, American Idol has been consistently rated as one of the top 5 shows in America since its inception in 2002. With over 30 million+ votes received each week, the viewers were always looking forward to seeing their favourite contestants win. International Game Technology launched a themed slot game for the American Idol by the same name in 2012. This slot is also one of the first ones to be launched on a social media platform. One of its featured characteristics is the fact that the game is updated in real time with eliminations on the show leading to changes in the online slot too.
