If we’re being practical, reality TV is already a gamble. Whether you’re hoping your favorite couple survives Casa Amor or praying the judges don’t find a “soggy bottom” in the tent, the stakes are always high. It makes sense, then, that the world’s biggest reality franchises have found a second home in the online gambling world.
Some shows were practically built to be slots. Here’s a rundown of the reality shows that have successfully made it to online casinos —and a few that desperately need to get on board.
The ones you can play right now at US online casinos
No land-based throwbacks, no offshore versions. These are licensed games you can play legally at real-money online casinos in the US.
Love Island by Games Global
As we just saw with the launch of Love Island Reel Vibes, this franchise is the current king of reality online casinos. Seated exclusively in the lobby of FanDuel Casino, it has everything: bright visuals, a built-in “Power Combo” mechanic and jackpots named after villa slang. It works because the show’s mobile-native fans are already used to high-speed drama and instant results.
Hell’s Kitchen by NetEnt
Gordon Ramsay’s iconic shouting match has been turned into a polished online slot. NetEnt’s Gordon Ramsay: Hell’s Kitchen features a dual-reel “Team Challenge” free spins round in which you pick the Red or Blue team. It captures the frantic energy of the kitchen without the risk of being called an “idiot sandwich.” You can play it at DraftKings Casino.
“Survey says”: Game shows turned into online slots
The line between game shows and reality TV is blurry, but these classics have transitioned flawlessly to the screen and are widely available in legal US online casino states.
Wheel of Fortune: There are dozens of versions — including Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin — available at Wheel of Fortune Casino and BetMGM.
The Price is Right: BetMGM Casino recently launched an exclusive The Price Is Right: Come on Down slot. It features the Big Wheel and Plinko bonus games, which are essentially the original mini-games of television.
Deal or No Deal: This staple slot can be found at BetMGM Casino, DraftKings and Golden Nugget. The suspense of picking boxes and the psychological battle with the banker translate perfectly to a slot mechanic.
Family Feud: Recently entering the digital space via BetMGM Casino, this version uses the 4,096-ways-to-win engine and a “Fast Money” bonus round that feels exactly like the TV showdown.
The “why not yet?” list: Shows that need a slot
These shows have the perfect DNA for an online slot, yet they haven’t officially landed in the US online gaming lobby — yet.
Survivor and Big Brother
Both of these reality classics have had slot versions in the past. Survivor had land-based machines from WMS, and Big Brother appeared in international and social casino formats.
Neither is currently available in US online casinos. Survivor’s outwit, outplay, and outlast theme could translate into exciting high-volatility gameplay with challenge-style bonuses. Big Brother could use eviction mechanics, house-themed features, and the iconic Eye symbol for bonus rounds. Both shows would be strong additions to the US iGaming market.
Judge Judy
While land-based machines have existed in the past, a modern online version would be a sensation. Imagine a “Case Dismissed” bonus in which a gavel strike clears the board for a respin, or a “Don’t Pee on My Leg” multiplier. The biting wit of the courtroom is a natural fit for a high-tension slot.
The Traitors
If there was ever a show built for a “Pick Me” bonus or a “Hidden Identity” mechanic, it’s The Traitors. A bonus round could task players with identifying the traitor among high-value symbols to unlock a multiplier. The gothic atmosphere of the Scottish castle would provide a stunning visual backdrop.
The Real Housewives
The drama, the shade, and the taglines. A Real Housewives slot could feature a “Table Flip” scatter or a “Reunion” bonus round in which higher tension means bigger payouts. Each city — New Jersey, Beverly Hills, and Atlanta — could even serve as a different world or skin within the game.
