TV and Film Slots

Movie themed slots based on popular films and TV shows started to evolve a bit later than others, the reason is that game providers must sign agreements with production studios or actors that starred a movie on which the slot machine will be based on. When all legal proceedings are over, players can enjoy movie and TV stars on a smaller screen bringing different kind of entertainment. Whether you are Terminator’s fan or simply love watching Ross and Rachel getting together in the Friends slot, this is a niche that satisfies even the most demanding customers.

Movie Slots Licenses and Legal Procedure
