The demand for skill based slots in casinos has been growing for some years now.
Seinfeld
Like all the best TV-themed slots, Seinfeld features real footage from the hit show, as well as bonuses based on the four main characters.
Players can activate free spins and instant win bonuses based on famous moments from the show.
The skill element is introduced via the Bonus Festivus. Based on the infamous Christmas alternative that appeared in an episode of Seinfeld, Festivus allows players to shake the Festivus pole for cash prizes – the difference here is that players can use their skills to shake a virtual pole to win cash.
Beat Square
The Konami video game legends have been making strides in the gambling industry for a few years.
Building on technology from popular games like Ubeat, they’ve added a gaming element to casinos – Beat Square might be their boldest slot.
Like the best video slots, Beat Square includes linked progressive jackpots across multiple casinos. The machines can also be linked to host Beat Square tournaments.
Wrecking Ball
Konami isn’t the only developer eager to tap into a gaming-savvy Millennial audience.
American giants IGT (International Game Technology) incorporate traditional slots that play joystick action into the Wrecking Ball slot.
Wrecking Ball is played on four reels of different sizes in a single format of 830 ways to win.
Arkanoid
For the nostalgic the game is Arkanoid from Next Gaming.
Based on the timeless arcade game, the goal in Arkanoid is to move the bat to the bottom of the screen and deflect a ball against a colored brick wall.
Safari Match
These games are a mix of skills and possibilities to provide a whole new way to play.
Synergy Blue already has a real money first person shooter – ZOMBIE $, but a more traditional slot with cascading reels and an element of skill – Safari Match – hit casinos in 2018.
Based on Synergy’s HAWG platform (Hybrid Arcade Wager-based Gaming), Safari Match rewards players who match colored tiles on an 8×8 reel grid.
Using a controller, the player can move symbols around rather than relying on pure randomness. In that regard, Safari Match works like popular apps like Candy Crush or Bejeweled.
The game features a bonus wheel that is activated whenever more than three tiles are matched. It is possible to win up to 250 times the full amount wagered with the wheel bonus.
