A Seinfeld-themed slot machine debuted last week—with the Soup Nazi in tow—at Global Gaming Expo. We’re compelled to rhetorically ask: Is nothing sacred? Apparently not, because countless film, TV and music institutions currently brand gambling devices. Among them …
Lord of the Rings: Not sure which is spinning faster: the machine’s digital reels or author J.R.R. Tolkien inside his grave.
Dolly Parton: Fellow pop-slot licensees Kiss, The Beach Boys and Britney Spears would do anything for a buck. But Dolly? Her machine even cues up “Coat of Many Colors,” which you’ll be stitching together yourself after you’ve gambled away the school-clothes budget.
Star Wars and Marvel: Alas, now that the anti-gambling House of Mouse owns both, the sci-fi slots’ licenses won’t be renewed for the adult Disneyland.
The Godfather: Apparently an offer Paramount Pictures couldn’t refuse.
