    When online casinos first appeared many years ago they didn’t offer much to lure in sci-fi fans with a casual gaming interest. The quality of these gaming sites then was low and the variety of games they offered were similarly poor.

Fortunately in recent years the online gaming companies have invested considerable cash and efforts into creating casino and slot games that will whisk players into different worlds. All types of futuristic game genres now exist, from robotic tech to Fantastic Four-themed slot extravaganzas. And for Japanese sci-fi nuts there’s a classic that should finally tempt them into having a little play on their laptops or mobile devices.

As GAME OF THRONES winds down, the new challenger has to appear and it is WESTWORLD. Based on the 1973 movie and produced by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, it`s set in a futuristic amusement park in which humans mingle with robots and live out their fantasies. Obviously taking place in a wild west area, the characters have to deal with morality, violence and actions without consequences, as anyone they hurt or kill isn`t real and so there are no punishments and people can live without inhibitions. It also highlights A.I. and how it can be misused
