​​The stars and stripes, the land of the free, the magic of Hollywood and the aura of the Super Bowl. America has always enthralled and provided a sense of optimism and a clean, bright future for those who emigrate there. As the standard-bearer of all forms of culture over the last century and more, America has also been home to the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, and with that the onslaught of popularity that the slot machine had on the general public! With that in mind, how does the modern online slots stack up with the American dream? Are there many American themed slots for you to play at your favourite online casino?

The answer is yes, of course there is! We’ve put together a list of some of the finest American themed online slots for you to play, hot dog in hand and a game of baseball on the telly. 

 

Liberty 7

Freedom is one of the key concepts of America as an ideal. The national flag is synonymous with this, and that is seen through the themes and design of the Liberty 7 online video slot. It brings you the classic casino atmosphere that has the air of old-school gambling but within the modern format of an online casino. The colour scheme is red, white and blue, of course, and the rewards are super-sized. This is a reproduction of a classic slot machine, with flashing buttons, a lever for you to spin the reels and a casino in the background. You could be in Vegas! The rules are simple, a classic 3-reel setup and a single star-spangled paytable. It is a simple game that evokes the classic American casino.

Bars and Stripes

A popular video slot with a 25-payline. There are a whole host of American symbols on show, with plenty of food and drink symbols too. The wild multiplier in this online slot is the Bars and Stripes logo, and there are also football and hat icons that are the scatters of the game. When you get 3 or more hat icons the Hat bonus game is activated where you can win big. The RTP is 95.50% and with the autoplay feature you can sit back and enjoy racking up the wins on this big American-themed online slot. 

 

American Treasures

What’s more American than the Wild West frontier? This incredible online slot also has a soundtrack that makes you feel like you’ve just swung the doors open to walk into a saloon, with the punters inside all going quiet and turning to stare at you, a few twitchy hands on pistols in the corner to be aware of! The RTP on this slot is 95.93% and the features along with the theme and design are quite quirky when compared with other online slots of today. It is laid back with the saloon score and the dustbowl sands in the background. It is a simple, five-reel slot with 20 fixed win lines playing from left to right. To up the ante with the American feel, there is a firework celebration and a freedom bonus when the Patriotic colossal symbols fill the screen. Apple pie scatters provide that sweetness you’re looking for too!

Evel Knievel

A 95.01% RTP game with low volatility, 50 paylines, 5 reels and 3 rows, this brings the danger of a stuntman’s life to the online casino screen. There are expanding wilds, a wheel bonus, and colossal symbols. You’ll be jumping over barrels and trucks with Evel Knievel, based on the legendary stunt performer. It is a truly enjoyable, fast-paced and simple online slot for you to play, as you’ll also get to see some of the famous stunts on the screen that the famous man succeeded with back in the day! It is the ideal game for both low-stakes and high-stakes players. 

 

Slots Angels

Get on your motorbike and head for the highway with the Hells Angels in this magnificent American themed slot machine. It is a rebellious 3D video slow with heavy metal music keeping you on the open road. There are different bikers and other symbols that cascades down the reels, with a win triggering a re-spin, with ever-greater multiplier the more you win. With 5 bearded bikers on line 1 you’ll start the big progressive jackpot, and three or more scattered dartboard symbols brings an instant cash bonus. It’s a great game to play and has a 97.00% RTP.

Some of best online casino providers, such as Play North, understand the need to diversify and build up online casino game catalogues that are varied and have many different designs and themes to meet the needs of a varied audience of customers. In a country such as the Netherlands, for example, where online gambling has only been legal since 2021, the landscape is ripe for exploration, with gamers wishing to play many different slots, whether that’s an American themed slot, a sports theme, tumbling candy on the screen, or travel back in time to Ancient Egypt. As you can see with this list, there are some great American slots at the online casino of your choice.
