No. Not really. But wouldn’t it be epic? If Gonzo, the hero from NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest slot, had his own movie? We certainly think so. After all, how many comics have made it to the big screen? More than you have fingers and toes, that’s for sure. So why not slots?
Slot Movies In Surround Sound
Gonzo’s Quest is the epitome of great slots play. We have a fun character, Gonzo, who joins us at the side of the reels throughout, keeps us company for the duration of our playing experience. To such degree that Microgaming’s Jungle Jim slot sought to emulate Gonzo in more ways than one. Imitation is the greatest for of flattery, and all that. We have amazing visuals, graphical representations of El Dorado and the treasures to boot, all made possible through Avalanche Reels, the Free Falls Bonus feature and huge multipliers.
Now imagine what a movie based on this would be like. We’ve already got the Gonzo character, we know what his mission is and we’re certain a story could fill 120 minutes of screen time. It’d be a great way to reward us slot players, seeing our heroes on the big screen and then getting to revisit them on the slot later. It would surely also attract a whole new audience…there’s so much potential.
Come On Hollywood, We’re Waiting
We’ve seen plenty of films made into online slots, so isn’t it about time it happened the other way around? We’ve even had video games made into animated films, such as Resident Evil so there’s the potential for lots of animated films too. Or could it be an interactive experience? What we need now is for Hollywood to realise how big a thing this could be. Watch this space.
