Fishing, Irish & More – Slot Themes to Spin

Play slots online regularly? Then some recurring themes may have stood out when you were busy browsing games.

If you’re new here, then let us explain why there’s a good reason for this. If slots didn’t fall into different categories and themes, they wouldn’t be very appealing - every game would have the same look and feel, with the same mechanics.

Another bonus of themed games is that it helps players to find favourites. It may be that you love Irish-themed slots or those based on Ancient Egypt. More on those shortly…

Join us as we take a look at some of the most popular online slot types to play.


What Are Slot Themes?

Themed slots are games that centre around a topic or design, and the genre they fall into. This will be easy to spot by the name or the imagery used, either in the background of the play area or the symbols on the reels themselves.

With a growing number of online slots available, there are more themes to experience than ever before. At Virgin Games, we’ve got plenty to choose from.

Wondering where to get started? Let us give you a helping hand. Keep reading to discover a selection of our favourite online slot machine themes and some top games to spin.


Fishing Slots

Cast your line on some classic slots with fishing themes.

It’s no surprise that these online machines have proved popular in the UK, given that fishing is a favourite pastime for many people.

Make your first catch on Fishin’ Frenzy, the original slot from Blueprint which inspired a series of incredible slots. Land three Bonus symbols to enter the Free Spins feature, and the Fisherman can scoop instant cash prizes.

Next on the list is Big Bass Bonanza from Pragmatic Play. Like Fishin’ Frenzy, this game has been such a hit that it started its own franchise. We also have Big Bass Bonanza Megaways and Bigger Bass Bonanza, with thrilling moments and free spins to enjoy.

Reel them in.


Irish Slots

A pot of gold could be yours by landing matching symbols on our Irish slot games.

Rainbow Riches is undoubtedly the headline act. We’ve got more than 20 slot titles from the famous franchise which has been around for almost two decades. This includes Rainbow Riches: Jackpot O’ Luck with a slick progressive jackpot, alongside a possible 117,649 ways to win in Rainbow Riches Megaways.

Play Luck O’ The Irish Gold Spins, with Wild symbols and free spins up for grabs. You could also activate the Fortune Spins feature to unlock extra reel sets!

Egyptian Slots

Play Ancient Egyptian-themed games for the chance to collect plenty of treasure.

These are undoubtedly some of the most popular online slots in the UK. The great news is that you’re spoilt for choice at Virgin Games.
