Due to the certified adult nature of their audience, many online slot makers are known to take creative risks. But these particular games push the envelope even further. Whether that’s with oddball themes, unique game mechanics or quirky presentation.

A casino game where you bet on the size of a potentially giant fish pulled out of a frozen lake by a fisherman, a crane or a helicopter. A slot machine set in a grimy public restroom with belching punks bestowing bonus symbols. A slot with crazy, morphing reels and flying space pigs. These are some of the weirdest online casino games you can play today.

Taco Brothers Saving Christmas by Elk Gaming

First off, what a title. Secondly, this is one of the strangest theme mash ups you’ll find in the business. Did anyone need a crossover between Mexican food tropes and classical Christmas traditions?

No, but it kind of works. For one thing its soundtrack is a mariachi band playing Christmas carol tunes. Which is already top tier effort for a slot game.

Not all online casino games are this off the wall however. Top sites today have literally thousands of slots to choose from, most of which have themes more accessible to your average gambler than strange Mexican snowmen. Failing that you’ll find traditional games like blackjack, roulette and video poker, alongside great bonuses and offers to get you into the game with a bang.

All in all, Taco Brothers Saving Christmas probably has very niche appeal. However, if you’re looking for some kitsch silliness with your fairly standard slot gameplay, enough effort was put into this to deserve a bit of your time.

Punk Toilet by No Limit City is Crude but Polished

There are actually several toilet-themed slot games on the market, but this one is actually a great gameplay experience.

No Limit City is known for interesting themed games but this one is special even by their standards. Punk Toilet is set exactly where you’d think. The reels of the game overlay a backdrop of a classic grimy punk venue restroom, with blasting rock music, various punk characters and graffiti across the stalls.

Although the comedy is crude – plenty of fart jokes and belching – the gameplay is very modern and packed with features. The animated punk rockers who walk in and out of the stalls to bestow bonus symbols or extra reels are super cool.

This game’s laundry list of features includes:

  • Expanding reels
  • Wilds and Expanding Wilds
  • Bonus Wilds
  • Random transforms, when all characters turn into the top paying Einstein punk
  • xSplit symbols which splits all other symbols into two even four, potentially quadrupling any win

Ice Fishing by Evolution is a Completely Unique and Tense Concept

This innovative live dealer game show from leading developer Evolution is just one of their unique titles of recent years. But certainly one of the most different.

In this game, you put a bet down on any or all five possible outcomes on a spinning wheel. Multipliers are randomly applied to various segments and the wheel spins.

Most of the segments just pay 1:1, although a multiplier is always possible. But the big attraction is the three fishing symbols. Little Blue, Big Orange and Huge Reds.

Hit one of these and the host will walk out into a studio green-screened into an impressive ice fishing lake. They will then go fishing.

  • Little Blue fish start at 3x and go up to 100x
  • Big Oranges go from 4x to 200x
  • Huge Reds start at 10x and go up to 500x

The bigger the prize, the bigger the fish. Bag a multiplier of 100x or more and a virtual crane, and then potentially even a helicopter, are brought in to aid pulling up the massive fish. As it goes, your prize multiplier gradually goes up.

Once it’s out, and the size is revealed your score is confirmed. Plus don’t forget, you can land a multiplier of up to 10x on the bonus game – meaning a top possible prize of 5000x your bet.

When Pigs Fly by NetEnt Combines Unique Theme and Mechanics 

This awesome game is a visual pun come to life, but it doesn’t just rely on that singular joke. It’s actually an inspired slot game with novel mechanics.

The core concept is spacefaring pigs. The retro sci-fi stylings are cool, as are the animated pigs in spacesuits zooming across the reels from time to time. However, the real draw is the rocket launch mechanic.

Hit one win on the reels, and a rocket launch style countdown begins. The reels will then expand by one column, and you spin again.

Win that, and another reels (or maybe reels) is added and the countdown ticks again. Go from five to one, so five wins in a row, and the rocket launches off. That takes you into the free spins bonus round as the screen shakes and rattles with the roar of the rocket.

This is a completely new bonus concept for online slots, and a game well worth a look based on that alone.

So, there you have it – four awesomely weird and wonderful online gambling games, from the cute to the gross and the bizarre. Best of luck!
