In the glory days of Las Vegas, it was large, clunky slot machines that were driving the profits of The Bellagio, The Venetian, and The MGM Grand. Now, in the heyday of the online casino, it is a similar story – online slots are driving the majority of online gambling revenues and profits.

One advantage that the online sector has over those illustrious and famous Las Vegas casinos is space. Slot-loving punters in The MGM Grand can avail of any of the nearly 2,800 slot machines on the premises.

Whereas if you wanted, you could open up a new tab on your browser and have access to tens of thousands of great slot machines. All that choice can be confusing though, which is why we’ve gone to the trouble of compiling a list of the 5 most popular slot games available online.

Before we start though, let’s clear up a little misconception that has been synonymous with online slots and online gambling in general for far too long…

Online Gamblers are Predominantly Male

That was the opinion of the online gambling industry when it first began to take off over a decade ago. As such, the vast majority of casino games and slots were directly marketed towards a male audience.

However, many women also enjoy playing casino games, in particular, slot games.

Whilst some providers have completely ignored this and continued to produce slots aimed at males, other forward-thinking companies have modified games to appeal to their core demographic – women.

With this in mind then, let’s take a look at 5 of the most popular slot games for the female gamer.

Bridesmaids

The Hangover series was a celebration of the very worst things that men are capable of when they get together. Bridesmaids is the exact same but for women. The 2011 film was full of fun and madcap capers.

This slot by Microgaming is a celebration of that great film. Whilst you’ll have plenty of fun playing this slot the urge to sit in front of the TV and re-watch this classic movie might become too overwhelming!

Agent Jane Blonde Returns

If there’s one area that is more skewed towards men than women than gambling it’s the world of fictional spies. James Bond, Ethan Hunt, and even Austin Powers all have one thing in common – they’re not women.

If you find that unfair then you’ll revel in this slot – the brainchild of Microgaming. It’s the sequel to the classic Agent Jane Blonde which sees the femme fatale return to help you win big. If the theme doesn’t excite you the relatively low volatility along with the chance of multiplying your stake by £2,000 might entice you.

We’re still waiting for No Time To Die‘s Lashanna Lynch to be confirmed as the next 007, but we’ll play this in the meantime. 

Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot stole the show in the 2017 blockbuster film Wonder Woman and now you can pretend to be the Amazonian Warrior in this great slot game from Playtech. Soak it in too as it is one of the few female superhero slots on the market!

The game features a number of characters from the Wonder Woman universe including her arch nemeses Ares and Artemis. There are also icons featuring her invisible jet, the lasso of truth, her sword and her distinctive shield.

This is perhaps the most immersive and visually stunning slot on the list, so if you’re a fan of high-end, quality slot games this is the title for you.

Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs

Way before Gal Gadot took on the role of Wonder Woman, Angelina Jolie was paving the way for female heroes in the Lara Croft films. Based on the incredibly popular PlayStation game, the film franchise followed Croft through a series of high-octane action scenes.

This slot which was released in 2019 by Microgaming picks up the Lara Croft mantle and joins her on a mission to pick up ancient Egyptian artifacts. This slot not only satisfies any Lara Croft nostalgia that you might have, but it also offers you plenty of opportunities to win big!

Kitty Glitter

Designed by IGT this 5-roll and 30-pay-line video slot is a favourite amongst players of both sexes but particularly loved by female slots fans. If you like your slots to be subtle you may not be a fan of this title.

If however, you loved the garish pink colour scheme and find that the animated grumpy cats take you right back to your childhood then you’ll absolutely adore this game. Look out for the diamond wild symbol which gives you a chance to win the £1,000-coin jackpot.

There’s also a free spin bonus feature that grants you up to 225 free spins which makes this game even more appealing.

It looks likely we will continue to see more slot games targeted at women. The demand for sole slot providers who are female-targeted is also likely to increase.
