Slot Game Themes: Find Your Kind of Game
A slot’s theme is its look and story: the symbols, sounds and characters. It does not change the odds, but it is how most people choose a game. These are the themes you will meet most often in our lobby, with well-known examples of each.

Fishing slots
Fishing is a staple theme in UK slots. Most fishing slots share one idea: fish carry cash values, and a fisherman wild collects them during the free spins.
- Big Bass Bonanza (Pragmatic Play, 2020): the game that started the Big Bass series, on ten paylines. It is also the game for the Welcome Offer free spins.
- Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways (Blueprint Gaming): the classic fisherman feature on Megaways reels with up to 15,625 ways to win.
Ancient Egypt
Egypt is one of the oldest themes in slots: pharaohs, scarabs and gods, often with free spins that expand or upgrade symbols.
- Eye of Horus Megaways (Blueprint Gaming, 2019): an expanding Horus wild, and free spins that upgrade the symbols.
- Hand of Anubis (Hacksaw Gaming, 2022): a cluster-pays game set in the Egyptian underworld.
- Cleocatra (Pragmatic Play): Ancient Egypt ruled by cats, with 40 paylines and wilds that stick in the free spins.
Myths and legends
Greek and Norse gods bring the drama, usually with multipliers or features that build as a round goes on. Gates of Olympus has sequels that keep its grid and change the features.
- Gates of Olympus (Pragmatic Play, 2021): Zeus presides over a scatter-pays grid, where eight or more matching symbols anywhere win.
- Gates of Olympus 1000 (Pragmatic Play, 2023): the same grid, with larger multiplier orbs.
- Age of Asgard (Yggdrasil): Norse armies on two grids that spin at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Does the theme change how a slot pays?
No. The theme is the look. How a game pays depends on its RTP, volatility and features, which you will find on its help screen.
Why are there so many fishing slots?
The Big Bass and Fishin’ Frenzy series made the fisherman collect feature a familiar sight in UK slots, and studios keep building new games around it.
What is a Megaways slot?
A slot whose reels change height on every spin, so the number of ways to win changes too, up to a maximum set by the game. Big Time Gaming created the mechanic and licenses it to other studios.
