Most slots are created by specialist software houses. Endemol are different. This is a global TV production company which owns many big name game shows. Big Brother, Deal or No Deal and Cash Drop are just 3 examples. In addition to licensing their shows (and producing many of them) across the globe – Endemol has created real money slot games based on their properties.
These are 5-reel video slots with bonus rounds and free spins. Many of the features are based on the game-play from the TV game shows. The slots often have a retro feeling to them, especially the ones based on the UK shows from the 1980’s like 3-2-1 and Catchphrase. What you will find is that the retro look is deliberate; and not the sign of an older game. It is the feature rounds and on-reel behaviour which gives this away. Technology to create these extras had not yet been developed when the original shows were being aired!
