The Myths and Legends of the Online Casino Industry

The monsters of the night. The fairies of Ireland. Graceful unicorns. Online games often use creatures of myths, from the dancing leprechaun of Rainbow Riches to the noble stallion in Enchanted Unicorn. Just what is it so fascinating about internet slot machines featuring make-believe monsters though?

The leprechaun of Rainbow Riches

The Rainbow Riches leprechaun is a gremlin of wealth. Normally displayed in jade garments, as is the Rainbow Riches leprechaun – leprechauns are famous for their riches; their pots of gold at the foot of the rainbow. Legend says that if human spots a leprechaun, they would split his money. Apart from a B-movie 1993 monster film, leprechauns are generally considered to be gentle animals akin to the Rainbow Riches mascot.  The Rainbow Riches character conforms to the established character of a leprechaun: cheeky, charming and still quite popular. Perhaps his stash of money has a factor in this.

Dracula

The Rainbow Riches leprechaun is in familiar company. Sort of. Dracula, a popular internet slots mascot, is just as wealthy as the tiny cheeky character. Dracula was created in the 1897 book from Bram Stocker. His money was said to surpass all. Dracula was smart and calm, an evil character plotting up in his home. Using his unlimited wealth, Dracula wants to relocate to London for the food. Although Dracula never had expensive restaurants in mind. Gamers would like to face down  and walk away with his gold. Unlike the Rainbow Riches game, Dracula does not appear on the slots’ screen to encourage them on. Probably because it’s daylight outside.

The enchanted unicorn

A giant leap from the cheeky Rainbow Riches leprechaun or the evil Dracula, unicorns are untainted creatures on the side of good.

Although many see a unicorn as a stallion avec ivory horn, unicorns were originally portrayed as a mixture of a lion, goat and horse. So what is it about the mythical animal that attracts online slot gamers? As with the Rainbow Riches mascot, the unicorn is a creation of hearsay – of sailors’ tales and fantastic stories. It is a creature of mystery and fables Its mystery is its appeal. It is a magical creation – unlike the Rainbow Riches mascot – and a creature of great beauty. Unicorns have forever been connected with auspicious fortune and for those that see a unicorn, it is said that luck will follow them for all their days.

No doubt that many internet casino slot players will be hoping that the unicorn is also a symbol of wealth.
