Some say that movies and online gambling don’t mix. It’s like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it’ll clean you out, but it’ll leave you hollow inside. I disagree. I like movies and I like online slots, so online slots with movie themes are a big hit with me. I especially love anything themed after movies I grew up with. I guess I’m just nostalgic that way. It seems that every online casino has slots themed after popular (and sometimes not so popular) movies. PartyCasino, who is no exception, has released two new titles, Resident Evil and The Naked Gun.

The Resident Evil online slot probably has more mass appeal. It is based on a terrible movie that is based on a pretty cool video game. It’s also very violent and has scary looking creatures and Milla Jovovich in short shorts, so basically it has everything young gamers could want. The game is a five-reel, 20-line online slot and features symbols of characters and objects, such as umbrellas, from the franchise.

The Naked Gun online slot is a little harder to understand, though it’s more exciting for me because I used to love the movie. Honestly, though, I think the idea for this game came at the last second at a marketing meeting. It was fourth and fifteen and they were looking at a full-court press. Then someone made a joke about the ideal assassin being one who doesn’t know he’s an assassin and the idea for a Naked Gun online slot was born. The game is a five-reel, 20-line slot and features both symbols and video clips from the movie series.

Both new online slots allow you to bet anywhere from one penny to $1,000. No matter how daring you are feeling with your betting, anyone can enjoy watching a few clips of Frank Drebin doing or saying something deeply stupid. To join the fun, visit PartyCasino.com.

The Tour de France is the most popular and most grueling cycling race in the world. In fact, it’s probably the only cycling race that your average person, especially Americans, know about. And if not for Lance Armstrong, we probably wouldn’t know about that race, either. Online gambling software developer Microgaming is taking advantage of that popularity and released a new online slot based on the Tour de France.

The game, called Pedal Power, is a 5-reel online slot with 15 paylines. Coin denominations are from a penny to ten cents and the maximum payout is $4,000. The online slot has many cycling-themed symbols, such as a cyclist who looks a lot like Armstrong triumphantly crossing the finish line, a trophy, bikes, water bottles, and a map of the Tour de France. The trophy is the wild symbol and a watch is the scatter symbol, which unlocks a free-spin round. The game can be found at any of Microgaming’s affiliated online casinos.

Microgaming’s Pedal Power should be a fun experience for anyone who has watched the Tour de France or anyone who has ever gotten an uncomfortable chafing after a long ride. For added enjoyment, you can always squeeze into some bike shorts, speak in an obnoxious French accent while you play the slots and then throw a fit when an American wins the race. That’s what I would do. Since it’s online slots, you don’t have to worry about getting kicked out of the casino for being annoying, so go for it.
