When a video game is inspired by a successful movie, most of the times the result is less than ideal. It probably has to do with the fans’ expectations, which often don’t match the reality of video gaming. Except for one very specific category: casual games, or more precisely video slots. These games, simple as they are, often manage to outdo their traditional counterparts when it comes to retaining the atmosphere and the feeling of the movies they are inspired by. Like in the case of Jurassic Park, a video slot machine available at the All Slots Casino. Play slots for real cash jackpots at All Slots Casino
Dinos on the reels
Jurassic Park was a great success from many points of view. It was not only a blockbuster, being one of the most successful movies in 1993, but it also set an incredibly high standard with its special effects. It won three Oscars (for its sound, sound effects, and visual effects), a Saturn, and a Hugo – the latter two are the biggest awards a science fiction production can get. But its effects went beyond the silver screen – it re-ignited the fading interest on dinosaurs, and brought cloning in the center of attention.
The news about a Jurassic Park themed slot machine to be launched at the All Slots Casino took the gaming world by surprise back in 2014. Little did we know that the deal between the developer and Universal Studios was the first sign of a sequel to the movie to be in the works. The gaming community was glad to get yet another great game to play with, and the older generation was pleased to see one of its favorites revived on the screen.
The game
Jurassic Park was released in August 2014, six months before the release of the fourth installment of the franchise. As you might expect, the game’s protagonists are the same as the ones in the movie: the dinosaurs. The Jurassic Park slot machine features five of them: the T-Rex, the Velociraptor, the Triceratops, the Dilophosaurus, and the Brachiosaurus, each one with its own feature set during free spins. But the actors from the original movie also return on the reels: All Slots players can reconvene with Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and the late Sir Richard Attenborough.
The game is beautiful and atmospheric, with a lush jungle background familiar from the movie. The symbols on the reels are static, but the game rewards its players with cut scenes from the movie from time to time. But the surprises don’t stop here – a T-Rex is sometimes seen roaming freely in the jungles of Isla Nublar, triggering the Alert Mode, with extra wild symbols, and extra wins.
Overall, the Jurassic Park video slot machine is worthy of the original movie, and a valuable addition to the all Slots Casino game library.
