3 Online Slots to Try If You Miss Stranger Things

Missing the Upside Down?

One thing that's set the Internet abuzz recently – and not necessarily in a good way – is Stranger Things.

Since launching in 2016, the Netflix sci-fi/horror hybrid has served up small-town weirdness, telekinetic children, and eldritch horrors, all wrapped up with a (very) loose touch of D&D.

But after a decade, the show has finally come to an end, and not everyone was pleased with the finale. There's been talk of Conformity Gate, a viral fan theory that suggests Episode 8 is not the “true ending,” with Netflix fanning the flames with a series of cryptic social media posts.

Despite the teasing, Episode 9 never arrived. And with the One Last Adventure documentary now streaming, there's now a Stranger Things-sized hole in a lot of lives.

If you're one of the lost souls missing Eggos and Kate Bush, here are three slots that are sure to turn you Upside Down.

3 Slot Games for Fans of Stranger Things

Dungeons and Dragons Power Combo

If you're familiar with the story of Stranger Things, you know it initially began with four kids playing the turn-based, fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons in Mike's basement.

Without spoilers, as the show continued, many villains popped up – Vecna, the Mind Flayer, and Demogorgons – as the kids grappled with their new reality by relating it to the familiar tabletop game.

At its heart, Stranger Things is all about kids rolling d20 dice and fighting monsters together. And while it's not as dark as the show, the Dungeons and Dragons Power Combo slot by Triple Edge Studios really captures that childlike wonder and sense of adventure.

The colourful graphics tap into 80s nostalgia, alongside d20 dice and Mimic Chests (a classic D&D villain) that lurk next to the 5×3 grid, with an impressive 12,500 max win potential to seal the deal.

Orphan Organ

Innocent children being experimented on for their powers… Sound familiar? 

In Stranger Things, gifted kids are raised, tested and pushed to their limits by Dr. Brenner (aka Papa), all in the name of science. Think telekinesis, sensory deprivation tanks, and nosebleeds – the full works. 

Orphan Organ by newcomer studio Shady Lady taps into that same, deeply uncomfortable energy. It features unethical experiments and alien test subjects who clearly didn't sign up for any of this, with creepy face huggers that look somewhat like Vecna's tentacles (minus the gross gulping noises).

Aside from the impressive 20,000x maximum win, Orphan Organ is unsettling and feels like you've stepped into Hawkins' lab – just pure science without ethics, dialled up to 11 (no pun intended).

The Rift

If you've watched Stranger Things up until Season 4, you'll know that weird membrany inter-dimensional rifts open up all across the town of Hawkins after you-know-who (not Voldemort) sets his plan into motion.

The Rift by Thunderkick leans into that idea of reality splitting at the seams, with glowing portals, alien symbols, and the foreboding sense that something else is bleeding into our world.

Paying symbols on the slot include weird alien symbols and even a pocket watch that looks suspiciously like Vecna's clock, which pair with the Rift Spins to offer a maximum win potential of 815x bet. 

The Rift is all very Upside Down-coded, where the laws of physics don't apply and danger lurks just beneath the surface.

Final Thoughts

Over the years, plenty of popular TV shows and movies have been given the full slot treatment, from Breaking Bad to Rick and Morty.

Stranger Things hasn't quite made that leap yet, but never say never.

Until then, these slots do a great job of scratching that itch, each capturing a different side of the show, whether it's childhood adventure, science experiments gone wrong, or reality literally tearing itself apart.

Consider them a temporary portal to the Upside Down, just without the flesh-eating Demogorons.
