How eSports Has Inspired Slot Games

Over the last few years, eSports has seen a huge rise in prominence, with streaming services helping to take the past rather niche sector into the limelight. This surge in popularity has caught the attention of the gambling sector and a whole range of different video game online slot releases for esports fans have made their way onto online gambling platforms.

Various elements of video games have been integrated into online slots that can be found at the casino sites at SlotSource and we’re going to list some of the games that have taken their inspiration from the growing eSports sector.

Battle Shop – Takes Inspiration from Dota 2

When it comes to incredible multipliers in online slots, Battle Shop ranks highly. This eSports-inspired game allows players to get their winnings multiplied by a massive 32x. Players can activate this multiplier by getting subsequent combinations, with the multiplier doubling for each one – if they can manage to land multiple wins, they’re in for an absolute treat.

When it comes to graphics, the bright colors and overall theme of the slot help lift it above many of its competitors. The visuals are sleek and eye-catching and the fantasy theme is absolutely perfect for lovers of the incredibly popular Dota 2.

Brawl at the Red Cap Inn – Takes Inspiration From Warcraft

To mix things up a bit from the usual online slot games, The Warcraft-inspired Brawl at the Red Cap Inn has an interface with two grids, which allows for some incredibly intense gaming (Much like a WoW raid!). To accompany the intense gameplay, players can find a vast amount of paylines and a rather charming soundtrack to boot.

Both of the grids are formatted into a 5×5 configuration, allowing players to have 100 different paylines to work with – 50 on each side. One of the biggest features is the Wild Swap mechanics, which will see a wild on either grid copy itself onto the grid on the other side. This makes the game great for players who like plenty of chances to win, multiply their winnings and grab as many free spins as possible.

The graphics are pretty decent, with the symbols having various dwarves and orcs in different poses. Our favorite is the little green goblin who’s shushing you as you play.

Champion Arena – Takes Inspiration from Apex Legends

Any Apex lovers are going to feel right at home with Champion Arena with its reels adorned by familiar sights. The biggest stand out though is how easy it is to get free spins on the game – whilst many online slots will restrict the reels on which special symbols can appear, Champion Arena allows special symbols to appear on any reel.

There are special bonuses that can help players get their hands on the highest payout possible, with the five legend figures bagging a 20x payout when they land any combination of them. Manage to land all five familiar characters and players can expect a huge 200x multiplier.

The graphics are great and the game really manages to capture some of the charm behind Apex Legends.

Loot Luck – Takes Inspiration from PUBG

Capturing the havoc of the smash-hit battle royale game, Loot Luck has a nifty little respin feature every time the wild symbol appears, with the wild symbol dropping down with each re-spin. 

This mechanic goes even further, allowing more wilds to appear and bag players the maximum win, the ‘Chicken Dinner’ bonus. Lovers of PUBG will absolutely love this online slot, with them eagerly awaiting the notorious frying pan wild symbol to appear on their reels.

Super Watch – Takes Inspiration From Overwatch

Finally, we have the fantastic Super Watch, which clearly takes its influence from Overwatch. Players can land winning combinations on any of 30 paylines and there’s a cool Super Wild mechanic. 

The different Overwatch-themed character symbols all have different payout amounts, and the wild symbols are the multipliers here. Whilst the music of the game does leave a lot to be desired, the familiar characters, charming style and vast amount of free spins being dished out can make it a winner for Overwatch fans.
