Out of the thousands of slot games out there in the world, a good number have managed to become instantly memorable to players, but only a handful have managed to have real staying power. Slots that make a big impression tend to keep coming back for more, and today we’re looking at those series of slots which have become legendary amongst fans.
The ‘Dead’ Series
We’re starting with the biggest name in the industry, referred to as the ‘Dead’ series despite many of the more recent titles not featuring the name. It’s drawn from the original Egyptian-themed Book of Dead slot with lead character Rich Wilde, who either features in each slot in the series or has a relative in his place.
The original slot has proven enduringly popular, and many casino sites use it as one of their prime choices for bonuses and offers. If you log on to the online casino at Paddy Power Games or any other major site, you’re likely to see Rich Wilde featured somewhere with an offer. That popularity has led to more than a dozen entries in what is probably the most famous slot series ever.
The Age of the Gods Series
Sticking with the theme of ancient magics and treasures, the Age of the Gods series has become the go-to for slots connected to gods and mythology of all kinds. Originally starting out with the basics of Greek mythology, you can now find titles connected to all the most famous names like Zeus and Hades as well as series entries featuring Egyptian and Norse pantheons amongst others.
What has proven popular amongst players is that the series covers every type of slot out there, from low to high volatility, progressive jackpots, multiple free spin modes and a wide variety of maximum win limits. Essentially, no matter what mythology you’re looking for or what type of slot you want, there’s something here.
The Big Bass Bonanza Series
On the opposite end of the scale of grandeur and drama, our third famous slot series is all around a great outdoor pastime. The Big Bass Bonanza series is, as the name suggests, where the prizes come in the shape of fish of all kinds across 15 separate backgrounds from blizzards to secret missions to the hostile waters of the Amazon Rainforest. There are even a couple of Megaways options in the full lineup, which is a hallmark of a big series.
The popularity of the series comes from the unique free spins modes inside each edition. While the exact mechanics are a little different between each title, the core is always about cash collectors and building up a streak to get more spins and usually multipliers too. The fact that the developers, Pragmatic Play, have managed to find so many twists on that formula is nothing short of impressive.
With new slots being crafted all the time, it’s a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’ we get the next huge series. Odds are though, the entries above are going to be in the mix for a long time as well.
