Independence Day Slots is a corny looking patriot’s game that is so bad and poorly put together that it somehow manages to be good. Seemingly ripping off the internet and Ghetti by warping stock photos and making poor attempts at adding in their own 3d renderings based on Poser models, it’s a low budget game that’s slapped together with no design sense. For that reason, it’s also pretty funny in the same way Monty Python can be. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that they’d taken the all out odd look of it and pushed it further, making it more meme like and working it more into the presentation.
If you’re looking for an over the top game about ‘merica, then this is it. If you like money, this game’s for you. And if you’re a patriot, you’d better start playing!
Premise
The premise of Independence Day Slots is Independence Day. Surprised? We know. Sorry to spoil it. There’s actually not much in the game about that, however. The real theme is ‘funny images that have to do with America,’ which is part of what makes the game funny and sing. It’s a parody, intentional or not, if American icons, which gives it a meme like quality that’s a bit refreshing.
Presentation
Graphics in Independence Day Slots are so bad they’re funny. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. It’s made of warped stock photos and Poser models, put together with an almost intentional lack of design sense that boarders on insulting if it wasn’t so funny to look at.
We have a hard time looking at this slot and not laughing, which we’re sure probably wasn’t the point, but makes for a fun time known the less.
Mechanics
Gameplay in Independence Day Slots is standard. At 5 reels and 9 pay lines, it does not break the mold there, chosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect. It is about the founding of our country, after all, so keeping things simple is appropriate.
Betting here ranges from a penny to $10, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out at $90, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review.
There’s a Declaration of Independence Bonus Round, which we laugh at every time we get because it has nothing to do with the Declaration itself.

Conclusion
Independence Day Slots is a game that was so poorly made it makes you laugh and wonder whether it was intentional. It pays well and plays well, and acts as a low key send up of American imagery. If any of that sounds enticing to you, or you bleed red, white, and blue, this is a slot you have to try, if only to joke and show your friends.
Head on over and give it a whirl. And be sure to let us know what you think!
