Tune into your favorite online casino for TV-themed video slot games

Rife with potential for adaptation to the online slots milieu is the endless squall of television entertainment, and casino software providers have taken up the challenge. Perhaps the first – and certainly one of the first – long-lasting franchises to make the transition to the gaming sphere is Baywatch, which, at the dawn of online casinos as we know them, was the most popular TV show in the world. (One wonders why; it must have been the cliffhanging storylines…)

While programming such as the ‘Watch, Dallas, and oddities from Japanese television get their goes-around, the emphasis is naturally these days in reality TV and game shows. Classics old and new from the Price is Right to Who Wants to be a Millionaire are well-represented in online casinos, while the bingo-playing demographic particularly digs on X-Factor, American Idol-type stuff and this ilk.

Though the range of TV-based games is surprisingly wide, even more amazing is the rapid-fire way in which lists of suitable franchises might also become online slots: How about Cheers, Doctor Who, Sanford and Son, M*A*S*H, Friends, et cetera, et cetera…?
