As well as offering a chance to have some sporting fun of your own, you can even win some money while you’re at it!

We’ve sorted through the best ones out there to bring you our list of the top 10 sports or Olympic-themed slot games. Read on to find out more — and be sure to look out for them on your favourite online slot game sites.

1. Super Sumo

What better way to celebrate the host country of this year’s Games than to immerse yourself in this ancient Japanese sport? Super Sumo by Fantasma might not offer you the chance to actually give sumo wrestling a go, but as a fun slot game with impressive graphics, it’s a decent substitute. It’s a 5x3 slot with 25 paylines, some entertaining bonus features and a great free spins offer. As a low-volatility game, you can expect to enjoy fairly regular payouts. 

If you fancy yourself a Sumo contender, you can try this slot game at Videoslots Casino! New players at Videoslots can claim a welcome bonus that includes 11 free spins and up to £200 in bonus funds, so there's more than enough cash for you to see if a mawashi is the right fit for you...

2. Usain Bolt

To get a real rush of that Olympic excitement, check out this 5-reel slot from Ganapati. Gameplay is just as fast-paced as its namesake, with low-paying symbols based around the racetrack and Bolt’s homeland of Jamaica, higher-paying symbols including a lightning bolt, and the wild symbol showing Bolt in his signature celebration pose. The bonus features are easy to play through and help to keep the action engaging. There is a 96.19% RTP and a potential maximum 108 paylines.

3. Basketball Star

Swap spinning the ball for spinning the reels in this offering from Microgaming! On the court in Basketball Star, you’ll be cheered on by the crowd as you try to match one of the 243 paylines. Keep playing for long enough and you’ll get the chance to play for big prizes with the Slam Dunk feature. 

Think you've got the genes to beat LeBron James at his own game? Test out your Basketball ability at BetVictor Casino, where this game is available to play right now. BetVictor's welcome offer gives slots fans a £30 bonus and 100 free spins just for depositing and playing with £10, giving you a more than 300% bonus to enjoy!

4. All Win FC

You can experience the thrills and spills of the Beautiful Game in this slot by All41Studios for Microgaming. It’s a very volatile 5x3 game with 10 paylines. The special features of this game are very exciting indeed, including wild symbols that expand to fill the reel and 12 free spins in the bonus round.

Everyone thinks they can play for England, so why not see if you have what it takes by trying out the All Win FC slot game at Casigo Casino? Your first 5 deposits at Casigo can net you a maximum of 825 bonus spins, which is a huge number for new players!

5. Football: Champions Cup

If you fancy more football-based fun, it’s well worth checking out this slot game from NetEnt. The graphics are high-quality and, along with the sound effects, make for an immersive and exciting gaming experience, as if you were competing in front of a full stadium of spectators. You can choose from any one of 24 teams to represent as you spin the reels.

6. Tennis Stars

A signature summer sport and long-established fixture at the Games, the thrills of tennis lend themselves really well to the online slot game experience. Tennis is bound to raise a lot of interest at this year’s Olympics after the many successes of Japan’s own Naomi Osaka over the past couple of years. The old-school design of Tennis Stars gives it a friendly feel and will definitely appeal to seasoned fans of online slot games.

7. Nyjah Huston: Skate for Gold

Skateboarding is surely one of the most intriguing of the sports debuting at this year’s Olympics. Those familiar with the sport will already know the name of Nyjah Huston: as the highest-paid professional skateboarder in the world and multiple winner of competitions across the globe, it’s little wonder that he’s been chosen to represent his native USA at Tokyo. In the slot game developed by Play’n GO that bears his name, you’ll see Huston showing off his skills to help you get as many free spins and winnings as you can.

8. Ping Pong Star

Especially at the Olympic level, watching a game of table tennis can be both exciting and scarily intense in equal measure! The edge-of-your-seat action of a real-life game of ping pong translates perfectly across to Ping Pong Star, part of Microgaming’s offering of sports-themed slot games. The sheer bizarreness of its theme — a team of monkeys vying to outdo each other to become the undisputed ping pong champion of the jungle — makes it a memorable and fun game to play, and its medium volatility makes it ideal for an extended gaming session.

9. Rocky

It’s impossible not to feel the excitement start to build when the iconic Rocky theme tune comes on, and this game from Playtech will be sure to get you in the mood for similar sporting exhilaration. Your winnings will depend on how well everyone’s favourite Italian stallion fares in the ring! A special feature particular to the game is the knockout bonus feature. If you see the two boxing gloves appear, then you have the chance to win 3x your total bet — and if Rocky delivers a knockout blow then you can even win up to 30x this value! That’s certainly a great way to celebrate the start of the Olympic season!

10. Andre the Giant

The legendary wrestler once nicknamed the Eighth Wonder of the World takes centre stage in this slot from NextGen gaming. Spinning the reels, players will find wrestling-themed symbols including the rest showing up: depending on how many you match, you could be in line for very big winnings. At the lower end, matching between 3 and 5 hot dogs or tickets could win you anything from 5x to 100x your stake; if five symbols showing André himself show up, then you stand to win a whopping 5,000x your stake — a huge prize to match the stature of the wrestling legend!
