You are hearing well! Michael Jackson has been voted in the top 10 of best music-themed Slot games of all time.
In the top 10 you will find “Guns N’Roses”, “Motorhead”, “Kiss”, “Jimi Hendrix”, “Elvis Lives” and “the Phantom of the Opera”.
Michael is the only Pop artist to have made it there as most of the music-theme popular slot machines are more Rock based.
Not that I want to push gambling as this will be wrong (and I don’t understand the addiction to gambling LOL) but I would like to admit, as a fan, I have played once to those machines and it’s so cool to see and hear Michael while introducing a $1!
OK! This does not bring anything to Michael’s legacy but being in the top 10 most popular music-theme slot machines just proves that people enjoy his music! I don’t see any Wade and James Slot Machines? Maybe a punching ball machine game would be nice (with their faces on it of course!).
I have to admit to having played the MJ slots – in all the various versions – many times, and even having had a decent win once or twice. With respect to Michael’s legacy, irrespective of what we think about gambling being associated with Michael, it is important that his name be seen in bright lights with all the (metaphorical) bells and whistles – and especially his music – in places where other music industry folk are getting similarly acknowledged. I’ve had some fun conversations with people while playing these machines – or waiting for a machine to be free, in that people who may not otherwise be regular listeners are reminded just hour timeless Michael’s music is.
