2011 was a great year for branded slots. They just keep getting better and better. The gameplay on most of these slots can be described as simply fantastic and the overall quality of the graphics and cutting edge animations often takes your breath away. The impressive sound effects and entertaining bonus rounds are also constantly evolving and becoming more creative with each new release.

It doesn’t look as though things are going to be any different in 2012. Many players often anticipate the arrival of a new branded slot (otherwise known as a bonus video slot) and with the amount of ground breaking new and old software developers currently churning out games at the rate they are now, hopefully some of these games that we would like to see will start becoming a reality and appearing in our favourite online casino sooner rather than later.

With the success of major branded games that have already been developed by some of the industry’s leading software providers, players have been able to experience games such as X-Men, Iron Man 1 and 2, Daredevil, Rocky, The Mummy, The Pink Panther, The Punisher, Lord of The Rings, the Fantastic Four and many more. We just hope to see as many great titles coming out in 2012.

If any software provider’s creative designer is reading this article, we’d love it if someone could start developing titles such as ‘Real Steel’ or start creating other video slots based on popular movies such as the latest instalment of ‘Harry Potter’, ‘Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows’, ‘Wrath of the Titans’, ‘Tin Tin’, the ‘Immortals’ and we even think ‘Tron’ would be awesome as a slot machine.  

These games would surely be an instant hit, much like the branded slots that are already available. If there is anything stopping these slots from being made, it will be down to copyrights or licensing, so only time will tell if these games can actually become a reality.

Whether it’s one of the industry’s oldest software providers for example Cryptologic, Microgaming or Playtech, or even one of the revolutionary i-gaming software companies such as Sheriff Gaming, Betsoft, NetEntertainment, Visionary iGaming (ViG) (or other similar company), we believe that they could do these titles justice and we look forward to seeing what they have in store for us this year.

As soon as the latest slot does become available, you can check out the reviews here at casinoman.net before you read about them anywhere else. We just hope that someone is listening to us and is currently in the development stages of bringing one of these classic titles to an online casino near you.   

We are also likely to see more Marvel™, MGM™ and DC Entertainment branded slots coming this year, which will add to the already large collection of these particular branded slots that currently exist online. Players can find a great deal of these branded slots in many of today’s leading online casinos in the UK as well as at other reputable online casinos from around the world.
