From Video Games to Slots Playable on your Mobile Phones

The way in which we play slot games has changed dramatically in recent years. Players aren’t  limited to spinning the reels on their laptops and PCs. Now they can download an app and start playing top online casino games on their mobile devices. Here are three excellent slots that  began life as video games you can play at one of the top mobile casinos in the UK. 

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior 

‘Street Fighter’ has for a long time been a popular video game. It went on to become a  successful movie and it wasn’t long before the slot world began to take interest.

With NetEnt responsible for the slot version, success was almost guaranteed. There were  already a huge number of fans of the franchise and just waiting to start playing a slot version.  The first release was a huge hit and slot players also enjoy playing ‘Street Fighter II: The World  Warrior’ on their mobile devices.

It’s important that the slot version doesn’t vary too much from the original source material.  Diehard fans of the video game won’t be at all impressed if the slot only has a slight  resemblance to what they love playing.

There’s no chance of that happening here. Before you begin playing on your mobile device you  are given the opportunity to choose which character you wish to play with all your favourites  being included. The significance of which character you choose will become apparent once you  get into the bonus rounds.

13 isn’t always an unlucky number you know. That’s how many bonus features that are on offer  in this slot game.These include a Battles feature where your chosen player has to fight a  random opponent. The game continues until your health points score reaches zero. Some good  wins can be achieved before that happens though.

Another great feature is called ‘Avalanche.’ This comes into play when a winning combination  comes along. The symbols causing that success disappear and others come down to fill the  empty spaces. If another win is achieved then this is repeated and will do so until there’s no win.

More wins can be earned in the Wild Combo feature. Additional wilds that can substitute for  other symbols can appear on the reels boosting your winning combination chances.

Zuma 

Video games aren’t all about fighting and being an attractive archaeologist. ‘Zuma’ has been a  popular puzzle game and had more than a few heads being scratched. Now Blueprint Gaming  has turned ‘Zuma’ into a slot game but one that is very different from the one video players  know.

That doesn’t mean this isn’t an entertaining slot game, far from it. The symbols that were  possible for this slot game were right up the street for its designers. They often love using gods  as symbols because they give the game a great look when playing them on your mobile  phones.

As is often the case with slot games, it’s the free spins round that is the most lucrative. Getting  as high a multiplier as possible is always important in a slot game. How is that achieved in  ‘Zuma’? Well, you need to shoot one of the Tiki bosses and that will reveal the size of your  multiplier. Then that will hopefully lead to some good wins when the free spins begin.

This slot also contains a Gamble Feature. You can either gamble all or 50 per cent of the win  you’ve just had. It’s best not to overdo this though as it’s so frustrating losing good wins.

Tomb Raider 

Who made archaeology more famous, Indiana Jones or Lara Croft? It’s a close run but as both  a video game and a slot, Lara probably edges the contest.

Microgaming wins most contests for top software designers and has done a great job in turning  ‘Tomb Raider’ into a successful slot game to play on mobile phones. Lara looks great of course  and that certainly helps in creating an attractive looking slot game.

There are a couple of bonus features that can see you get some big wins. One is a free spins  round and at least ten of them can be received. The big news here is that any wins you get  using the free spins are tripled. There’s also a Tomb Bonus pick ‘em round to play. There will be  between three and five idols that you can choose from and each has a cash value. This is a  highly entertaining slot with some good winning opportunities.
