Theme
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is an online video slot machine game from Microgaming that was released in July 2008. This online video slot machine game has 3 reels and 5 pay lines. The theme of the game comes from the movie “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, which was released in 1989. The movie is all about a time-travelling heavy-metal-crazy dim-witted slacker duo who sets off for an unforgettable adventure of their lives in order to pass their history class.
The movie Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure was not exactly groundbreaking back then. The appeal of the movie came from the portrayal of two brainless teenagers starred by Keanu Reeves as Theodore “Ted” Logan and Alex Winters as Bill S. Preston, Esq. who wanted to become famous by forming a band called the ‘WyldStallyns’ even if none of them knew how to play any musical instruments. However, big problem awaits the two as both were about to flunk their history class unless they make up for it in their history presentation. Should they flunk their subject, Ted will be shipped to Alaska for military training. Fortunately for them, Rufus, a man from the future, came and provided them a time-travelling telephone booth which they can use to gather the data they need to pass their finals presentation. As they travelled back through time, instead of just gathering necessary information about historical figures, they kidnapped them and brought them to the present to help them with their report. All-in-all, the historical figures they kidnapped are: Napoleon Bonaparte, Billy the Kid, Socrates, Princess Elizabeth and Joanna, Sigmund Freud, Ludwig van Beethoven, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln. Although they encountered a few bits of trouble here and there, their presentation of the influential historical figures was met with great success. In the end, they not only passed their history class, but they also got the princesses.

Graphics & Sound
The quality of the graphics and sound that Microgaming delivers is absolutely great and top notch. They have a reputation of making the most stunning graphics and true-to-life sound effects that will truly transport you to “that specific theme” they used in any of their slot games. Most people love to play games incorporated with Microgaming software because they have smooth animation and engaging yet non-interfering sounds. In the Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure video slot game, the introduction starts off with the duo and Rufus telling the two that he will help them followed by some number pressing and a graphical presentation of a telephone booth travelling through time. The symbols that have been used in the game are pictures of Bill and Ted, Abraham Lincoln, Rufus, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, a telephone booth, the logo of their slot machine game, and the Wyld Stallyns name as the wild symbol in the game. When you first play the game, graphically, you will see familiar characters from the movie are presented. Realistically, the graphics of the game will bore you if you are used to playing slots with quality arts and graphics. Then again, it is the catchy almost hypnotic guitar riffs of the game that will keep you glued on to it and playing it.
Most online slots players love playing this slot game because of its great guitar heavy metal music that has been taken from the movie itself. When you complete a winning line, either a lead guitar or some of the catchphrases in the movie are played, or the air-guitar duo introduces the character of the winning line (similar to that of the movie) followed by some minor movements from that character. For instance, if you manage to form a winning combination with Napoleon symbols, you will hear Bill saying “His name is Napoleon. He’s a very famous French dude.”
