LOOKING AT WRESTLING THEMED SLOT MACHINES

Casino game developers have used all sorts of themes for their slots such as fairytales, fiction novels, comic characters, celebrity characters, sports, sci-fi etc., and lately they have even made some wrestling themed slots. There are not many slots that depict famous wrestlers or wrestling in general, but we have found several of them that you can enjoy especially at online casinos. These too are engaging and have some great animation effects as well as gaming features.

Andre the Giant

This is a nice slot for wrestling fans, fans of Andre the Giant the one-time WWF Champion and small- time actor. He was a professional French wrestler called “The Eighth Wonder of the World” and had a condition called ‘gigantism’. He was famous for having a feud with Hulk Hogan, which culminated with WrestleMania III where he was defeated by him.

Anyway, Andre’s legendary status has culminated with a slot game made by NextGen. It is a 5-reel, 25- payline slot where you can win a 5,000 coin jackpot if you manage to land 5 wrestler symbols. Andre appears as a wild symbol and expands to cover all positions on that reel. It is called the “Andre Goes Wild Feature”. You can activate 10 free games with the scatter symbol and during these free games you can collect Special Attack symbols on reel 5 that you can use later to control Andre in the ring to fight another wrestler in an animated 3D fight. All in all it’s a fun slot to enjoy if you are a fan of this wrestling legend and if you like wrestling in general. If this game sounds up your street than http://www.xnetentcasinos.com.

Lucha Libre

Lucha Libre is one of the latest slots by RTG, and one that stands out from the rest. It was released in April 2015 and the theme revolves around Hispanic professional wrestling, something like the Nacho Libre movie with Jack Black. This theme is not what slot players usually encounter and the people behind RTG have certainly outdone themselves. The game focuses around giving frequent low-payouts, which is great, but the higher-value payouts are set too far apart. Nevertheless, you will enjoy this game and its interesting features. It is perfect for those that want to make very small bets and still land decent sized jackpots mainly thanks to the large number of multipliers. The wild symbols are represented with two wrestlers called Libre Guacamolio and Taco Malo, and they substitute for everything except the scatters. If you trigger the free games feature you can choose the move by which you can finish the game between the wrestlers such as ‘Spanko Especial’, ‘Supremo Foot of Fury’ and ‘Thunder Clap Bam Bam’. It’s a very humoristic slot. There are many option where you can play this game, including online casinos for US citizens, where you can choose from a long list.

Hulkamania Slot

Even Hulk Hogan has his own slot, called Hulkamania. This one was developed by a particularly lesser known games provider called Endemol Games Limited, but nevertheless you can find it at big online casinos. Here you have the Arm Wrestling bonus which can be triggered by collecting three wrestling arms symbols, and if you land three Hulkamania Belt symbols, you can trigger the Big Fight bonus. There is even a Golden Wild Symbol that you can use to trigger yet another feature. As you can see this slot is packed with features that can be really rewarding.

There is even a Sumo wrestling slot developed by Vegas Technology and we are sure that there are a couple of other wrestling themed online slots. As far as land-based slots in Vegas are concerned that use a wrestling theme, we have been able to find a slot called Sumo Kitty by Bally Technology, a slot perfect for high-rollers because it allows a maximum wager of 2,500 credits.
