The range of online casino game themes is huge, with them ranging from Ancient Egypt to Space and all the futuristic things that come with it. However, one of the biggest themes in all of online gaming is Irish culture.
If you go to any online casino in the world, you will find a range of casino games that are themed using Irish symbols, whatever they may be. There are ways to find Scottish games and that is by using casino affiliates like FruitySlots who offer players, like you, multiple casinos to choose from. Using a casino operator can help you find sites that have good bonuses, guarantee safety or allow UK players to deposit via Paysafe, these are all key elements for a lot of players and they may also be able to help you find a Scottish theme game for you to play.
As a Scottish site that is run by Scottish people, we always ask ourselves why our culture isn’t as popular in slot games.
This may be a question you ask yourself as a fellow Scot, with this in mind, below we will go through all of the reasons why Scottish culture isn’t represented via slots and also give some ideas for a potential slots developer reading this today.
I think the main issue for us, which is actually a positive, is the fact we have fewer Stereotypical things that these developers can pick from to use as a slot theme. Although we have a rich culture and history the games themselves are hard to make as our culture is less known by people.
Whereas Irish people have been around the globe for years, especially in America, we Scottish are usually close to home which means culture and history are shrouded in mystery throughout the world.
As well as this, our history in itself is more grounded than Irish culture, with our cultural imagery being mainly focused on traditions, beautiful landscapes and historical figures. If a game focused on our bagpipes and the Loch Ness monster, although they would be fun to play and see, they would be less exciting to play compared to seeing a leprechaun and pot of gold.
These are lucky items and items that these games and sites can easily market, whereas our history and culture is less whimsical and more true to who we are as people.
The pushing of Irish theme games is not surprising when you look at Irish culture. They have a number of marketable things which are key for these games as the teams behind them need to make money. When St. Patrick’s Day is a monumental day across most of the world. This is easy for these game developers to look at and take ideas from.
When you think of Ireland, you think of four-leaf clovers, leprechauns and Guinness, three things that are easily recognisable and easy for players to see and instantly know what they’re getting from the game that they have found.
The saying “The Luck Of The Irish” doesn’t come from nowhere and although the origin of the saying is routed in a more derogatory sense, the saying itself has stuck and been carried with the Irish for hundreds of years.
As much as the Irish themselves may not like the term, it is a well-known thing now that has made it easier for these game developers to harp on and make a key element of the games they make. As well as this, you have the four-leaf clovers and their sign of good luck, plus the Leprechauns and the pots of gold that they are symbolised with. All of these signify luck and are perfect for the games these sites want to make.
