Wow Kenwick.. I never play slots, so while I may have walked passed
these & maybe taken notice.. it was an evaporative notice.
I never knew there were so many movie related slots

Hey Gang;
With the recent talk on this forum of Las Vegas, I can't help
but want to actually stay on topic for those who are interested...
Granted, I'm not much of a "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", however,
these last couple of years with my company's annual trip to Vegas
for our conventions, I have discovered my new interest in the
movie-related slot machines.
Several years ago, I first discovered The Munsters and The
Addams Family games. Since we were given money to gamble with, I
figured I'd reap more satisfaction in supporting my favorite
studios, rather than the 'standard' games, since they're known to
suck your wallet dry anyway. With them being 'penny slots', at
least they took awhile to do so...
Last year, I discovered yet even MORE movie-games, such as my
favorite subject, Universal Monsters (Monster Mansion it's called
with the likenesses of Frankenstein, his bride, the Wolf Man,
Dracula, and The Mummy... The Creature From the Black Lagoon
happens to have his OWN game). Also new to me that time around was
a cool Alien game where in the Bonus Round you choose from a batch
of eggs hoping to pick the one with the highest points. Its
spin-off AVP (Alien Vs. Predator) was also there, but seemed to not
have as good of a payoff.
The new King Kong movie had its game, too, but it wasn't as
exciting and really sucked your money fast... kinda like the movie itself.
The most popular at the time were the Star Wars games with
motifs of both Empire and Jedi, but I didn't get much of a chance
to play, as they were always taken.
The coolest that year, though, was a psychadelic Twilight Zone
game with cool soundbites of Rod Serling.
This last year I discovered my newfound love for the perfect gin
martini, and found that I could either plop down money at the bar
for the premium drink, or just stick my money in a machine as they
brought me well-drinks for free... I figured either way, it would
cost me money, so I might as well be entertained...
There's a new game of Indiana Jones, but I never got around to
playing it...
The newest movie-related games this year were improved with
Hi-Fi sound from BOSE in the chairs' speakers... Dirty Harry takes
your money pretty fast, but sounds great with gunfire and
helicopters. The most magical of all is a dreamy Wizard Of Oz that
would make any fan melt.
I'm sure I've forgotten to mention a few, but as usual, my
memories of Vegas can be a little muddy... Whether you gamble or
not, all movie fans ought to check them out at least once.
