Philadelphia, PA - We all know that celebrities love licensing and sponsorship deals, so it isn’t much of a surprise that the rich and famous have begun to show an interest in the online casino scene in recent years. The industry has been growing exponentially for many years now, and recent changes to the law in the United States have allowed individual states to create their own laws regarding online gambling for the first time in over a decade.
Just because your favorite celebrity has put their name to an online casino game, and it doesn’t guarantee that the game will be great. On the other hand, if a casino is going to spend the money to get an endorsement from a social media influencer, musician, or sports player, you can be relatively sure that they will try their best to protect their investment by creating a game with the same prestige as its sponsor.
Today we’ll be looking at four online casino games that have been endorsed by a celebrity or their estate, most of them which are available to play at the PA online casino Unibet, a joint venture between the European gaming powerhouse and American casino company Mohegan Sun. If you are looking for a new game to play, why not try these?
Michael Jackson
The “King of Rock” passed away unexpectedly during the second decade of the 21st century, right before he was planning to go on a final tour that would see him revisit many of his favorite venues from previous decades. Jacko was an international sensation that still holds world records for the most popular albums of all time, including Bad, Thriller, and Dangerous.
Michael never got to see the slot named after him, which is a great disappointment as he was rumored to be a huge fan of gambling games including Poker and Blackjack. With that in mind, we have no doubt that he would approve.
Guns N Roses
The Guns N Roses online slot was fully endorsed by all current members of the band when it was released roughly five years ago, and it one of the most feature-packed online slots currently out there. The game features a rock and roll soundtrack with several of the band’s biggest hits, as you would expect for a sponsored title, but has several unique surprises up its sleeve as well.
The “Legend Respins”, “Appetite for Destruction”, and “Encore Free Spins” features are just three out of a total of seven bonus features included in this game. Two other slots were released at roughly the same time, based on Jimi Hendrix and the band Motorhead, but no matter how you feel about each of these musical artists, we feel sure that most slots players will agree that Guns N Roses is the best of the bunch. Give it a try and see if you agree!
Frankie Dettori
Whenever people talk about celebrity endorsed casino game’s they will usually gravitate towards the games that have been endorsed by musicians, film stars, or influencers. For our first suggestion we’ll be looking at a different kind of sporting personality – the horse jockey Frankie Dettori.
Dettori is one of the greatest jockeys of all time by several metrics and was also a huge fan of gambling in all its forms. When Dettori was approached about putting his name to an online slot machine, he absolutely loved the idea and went on to work with a game developer on multiple sequels after the success of their first collaboration known as "Frankie Dettori's Magic 7”.
The beauty of Frankie’s slot machines are the huge jackpots that they offer – Magic 7 has a top payout of 7,777x your stake, for example, which would be more than enough to put a smile on the face of most slots players. This, combined with the inclusion of video clips of many of Dettori’s magic racing moments, are no doubt the reason these games have remained popular with players for many years.
Ozzy Osbourne
Osbourne first appeared on the music circuit as a member of legendary rock band Black Sabbath. The band had several chart-topping hits including Paranoia and Master of Reality, with some even calling them a pioneer of the heavy metal music genre.
Even if you aren’t a fan of Ozzy’s music, you have most likely seen him on television by now. The MTV reality show “The Osbournes” followed the lives of Osbourne and his family and was a huge hit in America and was also shown in many other countries too.
Fans of his music will no doubt appreciate the heavy metal soundtrack that includes many of his biggest hits, whilst those who are more interested in the winnings will love the high-paying bonus round and multiplier symbols.
