Vegas diary, part 8: Once again, ANYTHING can be a slot machine theme

Following up from an earlier post showing some slot machine themes I found amusing, here are more!

Any classic pre-copyright tale from the western tradition is fair game…

…as is history, or even historical fiction…

…or historical figures…

…or, if you’re trying to attract the Asian market, some tales from their traditions…

(The “Journey to the West” is the story of the Monkey King’s pilgrimage to India with his three friends, returning with Buddhism, which he brought to China. The anime series Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are very loosely based on it.)

Here’s a particularly nightmarish “attract screen” from the Alien slot machine:

I hear this slot machine dispenses unobtanium:

Role-play + Sex and the City + Slots = GOLD!

And not far from the Sex and the City slots, either physically or thematically, was the Cougar-Licious slot machine:

The Footloose slot machine uses images from  the Kevin Bacon original and thankfully not the the remake:

Childhood memories? Perfect for slots!

Here’s a slot machine you can’t refuse:

I’m not surprised at this one:

My…preciousssss…

Of course:

This one’s aimed squarely at smartphone and tablet gamers:

Once again, this one’s based on the original with Gene Wilder, and not the Johnny Depp remake:

This one’ll move you…

There are lots of oompa loompa song-and-dance numbers in this one:

Speaking of creators who are happy to sell out at the drop of a hat:

This one’s aimed at the people who grew up with Episodes IV, V, and VI, and not those newer, lesser movies:

“Inform Lord Vader that we’ve found the rebel bonus…”

Of course those most sell-outiest feature of the sell-outiest film in the Original Trilogy would get featured:

And finally…

It’s the Rob Ford slot machine!

This one’s got a quote for each major character in the series, so I had to snap ’em all…
