MARILYN MONROE




MARILYN MONROE
The MARILYN MONROE video slot machine is a part of the Diamond King slot line produced by IGT. The game was released around the same time as the FRANK SINATRA, JAMES DEAN, and HUMPHREY BOGART slot machines. The Marilyn Monroe game was similar to the James Dean and Bogart machines but not as popular as the Sinatra games. I guess it would seem more fitting for the Sinatra slots to remain popular, not only was he a hit in the casinos as an entertainer, but also in the afterlife as a favorite machine. The others have a well deserved place in the movie worlds hall of fame, but maybe without the connection to the casinos, there is not as much novelty play. Besides, it seems fitting when you are playing a slot machine with Frank Sinatra singing a few bars every now and then; they should have included a special "Quarter to 3 " sample for us late night players who like to be sitting there all alone waiting for that progressive to hit.
The Marilyn game is a 15 line 5 coin 75 coin max bet per spin game. It does have the sharp photos of the goddess and is a tribute to one of the Hollywoods great stars. However, the machines I have played seemed to have a rather cheap payback and I never won anything on these games. I took a long time to get to the bonus rounds and it was not worth the amount of money invested as the game did not pay off near the amount to have made it profitable. I would suggest a short play at one coin per 15 lines, or if you can just watch someone play the game. While the machines were once abundant in Atlantic City casinos, they are quite scarce to come by now. The cheap returns are no doubt a factor in that matter. Too bad, as the Sinatra game can be fun and profitable, but these games are now almost memories. Marilyn was much better on the big screen anyway, that is where she should be viewed.2 cherries
