One of the ways online casinos market their pokies games towards a larger audience is by integrating the themes of retro films. For example, there are online pokies based on popular films such as Jurassic Park, Top Gun, The Dark Knight, The Avengers and X-Men. Not only do these games integrate the films’ titles into their name, but they also use characters, settings and color schemes from the films to further customize the game.

There are a number of different types of retro film pokies games. Online casinos offer five reel, three reel, instant win and progressive pokies to betting enthusiasts. Progressive pokies are attractive for players who wish to try their luck at winning a major jackpot, with progressive jackpots going as high as five or ten million dollars.

Here are some nice examples of retro and modern films that lend their name and themes to online pokies, but you can always find out more here.
