Why Common Casino Themes Are So Popular
Public Group active 1 year, 2 months agoThe sheer variety of game themes you can find at an online casino is massive, and whether it’s reggae or robots, there’s almost certainly something for every kind of interest. Some themes, however, seem to crop up more often than others, with some used to the point that they’ve become staples of the industry. Here are some of the most common themes you can find on any casino site.
Ancient Egypt
While the trend was more at its height in the 2000s, there is still a massive amount of slot games coming out each year set in Ancient Egypt. Most long-time players will know how much of a benchmark the Book of Dead series has been against other games. Beyond these treasure-hunter-style games, the Egyptian pantheon also gets a lot of attention with Ra and Anubis appearing in dozens of slot titles between them.
The attraction here for developers is clear, with Ancient Egypt in real life still revealing hidden treasures and secrets even after hundreds of years of excavation. Aside from the immense historical value of everything there, rumours have always persisted of hidden caches of ancient treasure still waiting to be unearthed. It’s this potential that still makes it so popular.
Jungles and Rainforests
Going from one mysterious part of the world to another, we have another popular locale for slots being deep in the jungles of the world. It’s a setting also connected to one of the all-time classic slot series, Gonzo’s Quest, which is specifically set around the time of explorers in the Amazon Rainforest. The setting remains popular as a hi-tech live casino game in the form of Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt.
Like Ancient Egypt, hidden mysteries and riches are what make it a great slot theme, although the big difference is that jungles and rainforests, particularly the Amazon, are far less explored. Even until today, scientists are using new technology and finding not just new undiscovered buildings, but entire lost cities that have been completely lost to history. Add that to the legendary golden city of El Dorado and the treasure rumors are big.
Wild Animals
In a different line entirely, the last popular choice is the realm of wild beasts. The environment could also be a jungle, but just as common are places like the Great Plains in North America or the huge snowy forests of the world. Surprisingly, it’s not even the carnivores that are getting the most attention, with big plant-eaters taking starring roles in games like Buffalo King or Great Rhino Megaways.
No matter where in the world it is, even in the deep blue sea, the key feature is power. Buffalo may not be great hunters but they have weight, muscle and a remarkable charging speed. Lions, gorillas, and even sharks as in Razor Shark are all in the same boat; as long as there’s strength to it, it’s good to go.
Of course, fashions do change all the time and what’s popular shifts around, although if history is anything to go by, these themes are always going to turn up in any game library!
