This time of year, it’s impossible not to think back at when we were kids, with the magic of Christmas fresh in our eyes.
Which lead us to thinking of some of our favourite childhood memories, and how so many great mobile slots help bring back that joyful feeling on every spin.
Except instead of just listing five slots, we’ve broken them down into five categories that epitomises our best moments from when we were kids.
We’ll argue the best of the best, and give you a couple of alternatives. Because what else have you got to do this week but get a little slot children themed joy?
Aaaargh Me Hearties! Best Pirate slots
This was not a long list, hence why we started with it. When we had a look at our top 5 or 4 star reviewed slot games with Pirates, only three really stood out.
Captain’s Treasure slot had to be considered, but seeing as you don’t get all the slot features as you do from the online game, it couldn’t be a winner.
Which only left two, and one did not come with a huge jackpot; that would be Side City’s Buccaneers Bay game, which is super simple, with just wilds, scatters and free spins. But lots of them.
The Fortunate 5 Playtech slot wins!
With a great cast of sea-hardy characters, 5 possible in-game jackpots and long lasting free spins, what’s not to love about this Playtech slot.
And it’s not just the big wins that will have your imagination reeling, but the beautiful graphics will lead you to the high seas, with a stormy sky setting the scene for some rollicking free spins.
The Fortunate 5 mobile slot will bring all your best childhood Pirate sea-side memories to your phone.
Find adventure in these Comic Book slots
There are simply far too many choices to be made here. DC Comics slots gives us a whole bunch of choices from the original comics, from Batman, to Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash.
And Playtech certainly have more than enough, as they’ve created every Marvel superhero movie into a slot machine.
However we wanted to think a little outside the box, so we immediately thought of NetEnt’s brilliant Jack Hammer slot game, or even Yggdrasil’s Super Heroes slot.
But with so many great games based on actual comic books, why settle for imitations?
All your favourite heroes in the Justice League slot
Which lead to our winner of course; the 2016 Justice League slot by NextGen Gaming.
NextGen also had the runner up; the Judge Dredd game, but we stand by our choice.
Full of authentic graphics from the comics, with bright beautiful colours, and constant actions thanks to getting re-spins on every win, the Justice League is one powerful machine.
Fairytale slots bring you a happily ever after
Whereas we had so few choices for the Pirate slots, slots with fairytale themes, on the other hand, are ridiculously common.
We have 7 games in our list before we even got past the 4 star mobile slots reviews.
In the end though, we decided to stick with tradition when it came to the winner. Whilst Novomatic Fairy Queen and Play’n GO’s Enchanted Crystal are all about the fairies, they didn’t grab our childhood imagination enough.
So we stuck to tradition, and one software won.
Jack and The Beanstalk wins over Little Red
NetEnt get’s our top two choices, thanks to this years 2016 release of Red Riding Hood slot game.
However, being so new, it hasn’t proven the test of time, unlike the wonderful Jack and The Beanstalk slot which has been a favourite with players for years.Who doesn’t love walking wilds and storming the giants castle to get that golden goose?
Bring back memories of many happy childhood bedtime stories.

Rainy afternoon games slots
Rainy afternoons – the bane of children everywhere, and yet when you stop to think about it, able to create some of your happiest moments.
Namely thanks to games like the Classic Cluedo or Snakes and Ladders bringing the family together with some simple rules, and in the form of slot machines, simple spins.
For those less social of us, there area always video games such as the Space Invaders and Hugo slot to brings out that perfect hint of nostalgia.
But in the end, there’s only one king of boardgames, and one king of children boardgames slots.
Super Monopoly Money is all we want
WMS took over the Monopoly brand from IGT, and they’ve done a bang up job at bringing out several superb Monopoly slot games for you to play.
One of our favourites, Monopoly Big Event was close to winning, but due to the fact that it favoured high limit slot players, we felt it wouldn’t be fair to more conservative gamblers.
Which left the one and only Super Monopoly Money slot, aptly named as you get a huge amount of different bonus games that can pay out lots.
Best of all, you don’t have to fight with your siblings to get it.
The Joy of Christmas slots and celebrations
When we started thinking about that moment that made us smile during our childhood, and what we’d like to bring to this list of child game slots, our strongest memories came in December.
Not Cowboys and Indians, not Summer blockbuster movies, or days playing in the garden. That time of year which is cold, but with every light shining, and family gathered together as one.
There were many contenders. In fact, all of our best 2016 Christmas slots were considered, but only one kept moving to the top.
We loved the Secrets of Christmas video slot
Whilst there is a simple joy to Deck the Halls by Microgaming, in the end, it was the beautiful Secrets of Christmas slot that won out.
Why? Because as you look through this frosty window pane, you have a little bit of everything you need to bring warmth and smiles to your face.
From the beautiful graphics, to a free spins bonus game where you pick from presents to reveal your prizes, this is pure fun.
Add that you can get some ridiculously good wins, and this is the easiest way to keep the spirit of Christmas alive all year round.
