Along with the invention of cryptocurrencies which are now a staple of bitcoin casinos, the blockchain gave us non-fungible token (NFT) technology. While NFTs could be used to track and prove ownership of many different products, they rose to fame as the underly tech behind digital artworks.

Select NFT art pieces began to reach insane prices on the open market, with collections like Cryptopunk and Bored Ape Yacht Club becoming infamous for generating millions in income for their creators. To date, the NFT with the highest selling price is a democratised (multiple-owner) artwork titled The Merge by an artist known as Pak. Once entirely sold, the artwork generated $91.8 million in sales.

Attract Talent, Make Movies, Sell NFTs

This level of success has savvy tech-focused entrepreneurs trying to claim their own slice of the market, resulting in them thinking outside of the usual social media marketing to gain customer attention.

One of these up-and-coming NFT collections is Doodles. While the designs are fun and light-hearted, with a distinctive pastel colour pallet, they are not lacking in market value. The most expensive piece, Doodle #8704, will cost you an astonishing 85 Ethereum tokens ($261,120 at the time of writing) on the OpenSea collectables marketplace.

The team behind Doodles is looking to mainstream media tactics to promote their niche product. Jordan Castro, the Doodle co-founder, explained that the company is looking to shrug off the "NFT project " label and establish itself as a "leading media franchise".

One of their latest initiatives to achieve their dream of becoming a media franchise was the announcement of an animated film based on the characters and world that underpin the Doodle world. The film, titled “Dullsville and the Doodleverse,” is a collaborative storytelling effort between Doodle and producer and musician Pharrell Williams. The project also boasts the voice acting and musical talents of world-famous rapper Lil Wayne and singer Coi Leray. It was announced that Lil Wayne will play Captain Stoke while Leray will voice Deysi.

As with any NFT project, supporters of the upcoming Summer release will also be eligible to receive "exclusive merchandise and digital collecting opportunities."

  Entertaining Music and NFT video slots

Since the NFT-themed film is only slated for release in the Summer, we'd like to help you pass the time by recommending some of the best music-themed and NFT-based video slots on the market.

✓ CryptoPunk NFT Online Slot

While a range of crypto casinos offer players NFTs as prizes in their promotions and giveaways, only one notable video slot uses actual NFT imagery on the reels. The title in question is, of course, Red Tiger's NFT Megaways slot.

Evolution Gaming, the parent company of Red Tiger, became the first casino software developer to purchase a series of CryptoPunk NFTs (#914, #3008, #4701, and #8143) in September 2021.

The acquisition of these costly pixel-art characters allowed Red Tiger to release the industry's first-ever slot machine to feature owned NFTs. Fans of Red Tiger slots and NFTs can enjoy a high-volatility game of chance with up to 200,704 Megaways to win and a maximum reward of 10,000 times your bet.
