The Phallazzo


Can Disney sue? I don't think the genie in the folk story is blue.

I've also seen knock-off Wheel of Fortune slot machines.

When you insert money into the Dark Knight-themed slot machine, it should play a clip of The Joker setting a mountain of cash on fire.

Whoever conceived the Airplane!-themed slot machine deserves a raise. I didn't expect to see an Amazing Race-themed slot machine either.


Odd name for a Chinese-themed slot machine… OH! Heh.

Chinese-themed slot machines probably account for half of all (culturally reductive, borderline offensive) ethnic-themed slot machines. Today alone I noted:

Tiger Garden
Lion Dance
Lion Festival
Moon Festival
China Moon
China Emerald
China Mystery
China Shores
Chinese Phoenix
Phoenix Empress
Golden Emperor
The Last Emperor
Imperial House
House of Fortune
Best Fortune
Fortune Firecracker
Mr. Luck Fortune Cookie
Far East Fortunes
Eastern Sun
Beijing Treasures
Bamboo Panda
Giant Panda
Wild Panda
Three Pandas
100 Pandas
Panda's Jade
Triple Double Jade
The Jade Monkey
Bruce Lee
Dragon
Dragon Crystal
Dragon Emperor
Dragon Fire
Dragon Lines
Dragon's Temple
5 Dragons
50 Dragons
Ancient Dragon
Rainbow Dragon
Shen Long (Spirit Dragon)
Blazing Dragons
Forbidden Dragons
Mystical Dragons
Water Dragons
Game of Dragons
King of Dragons
Wu Xing (Five Elements)
5 Bats
Lucky 88
1421: Voyages of Zheng He
Choy Sun Doa (Aristocrat)
Legend of the Qin Dynasty
Dynasty of Gold
Golden Blossom
Mystical Lotus
Lotus Flower
Great Wall

I'd like to sit in on pitch meetings for ethnic-themed slot machines.


If these are polished themes, what were the raw ideas? What was rejected?
