Leading media figures gathered to discuss the growing importance of television in society today.
Now, the day is used to draw awareness to television as a tool of communication, information and influence over public opinion.
Here at Sun Bingo, we’re acknowledging the role that television plays in informing the gaming industry by taking a look at some of the slots that are an homage to TV shows.
Fancy playing a TV-inspired game today? Here are a few that you can choose from.
IT’S SAFER GAMBLING WEEK – HERE’S ALL THE TOOLS THAT YOU CAN USE AT SUN BINGO TO STAY SAFE
Deal or No Deal Bankers Boost Jackpot King
Deal or No Deal was an iconic daytime TV show on Channel 4 from 2005 to 2016.
Over the 11 years that the original Deal or No Deal was active, 2975 shows aired.
This was hosted by Noel Edmonds. However, the show returned in 2023 with Stephen Mulhern now at the helm.

Meanwhile, the Jackpot King is currently worth over £2.2 MILLION and rising. That’s a deal you won’t say no to accepting.
WANT A GOOD TV SERIES TO WATCH? WE’VE GOT EIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS
Gold Rush: Cash Collect
Try out this slot game that’s inspired by Discovery Channel’s reality TV series Gold Rush.
The hit show follows the lives of family-run gold mining companies across the Americas.
The hit slot game has four jackpots and a free spin bonus round.
Select your stake between 10p and £20 by clicking on the coin stake on the right-hand side of the screen.
TOP TIMES THAT BINGO HAS APPEARED ON THE BIG SCREEN
When you’re ready to dig, click the “Spin” button, which is just under the coin stake. This will trigger the game to start.
If you spin in one of the 30 paylines on this slot, you’ll win cash prizes. As your spin is happening, the Pay Dirt feature can be randomly triggered.
When it activates, a machine will appear on the screen and add cash values, multipliers, diamonds, Cash Collects or stacks of Wild Golds to the reels.
If you spin in Cash Collect symbols on reel five, you collect all of the cash prizes on the other reels.
THIS IS HOW BINGO IS PLAYED AROUND THE WORLD
You also trigger the free spins bonus. The number of free spins is determined by adding up all of the multiplier values on the reels when the bonus is triggered.
If you spin in more Cash Collect symbols during the free spins, you collect all of the cash values, multipliers and diamond symbols on the reels.
The Cash Collect symbols will then move down one space per spin (collecting cash prizes as they go) until they disappear off of the bottom of the play table.
However, if you spin in an Up Arrow symbol, this will push all of the Cash Collect symbols back to the top of the reels, and you can keep collecting winnings with each spin, until the symbols reach the bottom of the table.
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FREE SPINS
There are four jackpots on offer in Gold Rush: Cash Collect:
- Mini (20 x your base stake)
- Minor (50 x your base stake)
- Major (200 x your base stake)
- Grand (500 x your base stake)
A jackpot win is triggered when you spin in both the diamond and Cash Collect symbol in the base game.
The jackpot that you win is randomly selected.
The Walking Dead: Cash Collect
The Walking Dead was originally a comic book series. Then, it was adapted into an incredibly popular post-apocalyptic, award-winning TV series that ran for 11 series between Halloween 2010 and November 2022.
The latest format is a (un)dead exciting slot game!
Players stake between 10p and £20 on this 30-payline game. Spinning in blue, green or red Cash Collect symbols will trigger the Safe Zone, Commonwealth or Danger Zone free spins bonus.
When a diamond symbol and Cash Collect symbol are BOTH spun in, this triggers a jackpot win. The player will win one of the four jackpots (the winning jackpot is randomly selected).
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE GOGGLEBOX FAMILIES?
There’s the Mini (x20), Minor (x50), Major (x200) and Grand (x1000). Fans of the show will appreciate The Horde, Saviors, Alexandria, The Whisperers, Wild Walkers and The Tower bonus features.
In this game, when you get six or more coin symbols, you trigger the Hold & Respin feature. Three or more Free Games symbols triggers six free games! Watch out for the held biohazard symbol; this triggers a jackpot win.
HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT ONLINE BINGO SITE FOR YOU
Top Cat
In the 1960s, audiences were treated to the animated hijinx of Top Cat and his gang as they lived in Hoagy’s Alley.
Between failed get-rich-quick schemes and avoiding the blundering Officer Dibble, there was plenty of action to keep viewers entertained.
The show may have ended but its spirit lives on with this 10-payline slot game that entertains, and may well lead to cash wins that Top Cat would love to get his paws on.
THESE SIX CELEBS LOVE A GAME OF BINGO
This is another Jackpot King game, so your bet amount between 10p and £5 could lead to a multimillion pound prize.
If you spin in three, four or five scatters, you’ll unlock the Dibble Trouble Free Spins bonus that awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
In this bonus feature, the more Dibble symbols that spin in, the greater the multiplier attached to your winnings. This goes up to x5000. A single game can win you up to £250,000.
