Most Popular Slot Themes
With so many slot games now available online, and with brick and mortar casino slots continuing to thrive, it seems that there are slot game themes available to cater to almost all tastes. But which slot themes have been the most popular over the years? Let's take a look.

Fruit Themed Slots
Slot machines are also known as fruit machines for a reason. Early machines showcased fruits such as cherries, lemons and berries, and these fruit machines are still very popular today. The origins of fruits being used as symbols on slot machines come from the first machines that appeared in the United States in the early 1900s. Instead of paying out cash prizes, early slot machines gave winners chewing gum. So if you got three cherries in a row, you would win cherry flavored gum, and if you matched the lemon symbols, you would win lemon gum.
Egyptian Themed Slots
Walk into any brick and mortar casino or visit any online gambling casino and you are bound to find Egyptian themed slots. Ancient Egypt was all the rage in popular culture when slot machines became popular in the early 20th century. Egyptian artifacts began to be displayed in museums around the world, and Hollywood produced a number of Egyptian-themed movies, such as multiple mummy horror films and epic biblical pictures. Over the years, the magic and mystery surrounding Egyptian icons such as mummies, pyramids and gold have continued to make their mark on popular culture, with themes that perfectly match the feeling of wonder you get when playing slot games. Of course, gold is also associated with wealth, so it's no surprise that it's used to promote slot machine jackpots.
Movie Themed Slots
Combining slot games with pop culture has been all the rage for decades, and movies are no exception. You'll find a variety of slots with specific movie themes that use symbols based on key elements of the movie as well as the soundtrack and dialog. Video slots sometimes take things a step further by showing scenes from the movie. You will find numerous movie-themed slots in both online and brick-and-mortar casinos. Popular slots include those based on Jumanji, Hulk and Planet of the Apes.
