Inspired by hot air balloons, gliders, kites, airplanes and aviation in general, airship themed slots feature loads of bonuses among other surprises. These games naturally feature airships also known as dirigible balloons. These are types of aircraft or aerostat that easily navigates through the thick air using their own power. For this reason, airships are often called lighter-than-air aerostats.

They gain their initial lift from gasbags that are packed with a lifting air which is always less dense than the air which surrounds this aircraft. In the early airships, the lifting gas that was used was hydrogen mainly due to its ready availability and extremely high lifting capacity. Nowadays, some airships use helium as their lifting gas. It has the same lifting power, but unlike hydrogen, it is relatively expensive and rare.

However, due to its properties which are very similar to the properties of the hydrogen gas, the majority of aircraft built since the 1960s uses helium as their lifting power. Besides container packed with lifting gas either hydrogen or helium, airships also have multiple engines, gondolas which are suspended below the main envelope as well as payload accommodation and other.

When it comes to airship themed slots, these games feature loads of aviation-related symbols on the reels such as hot air balloons that glide through the sky, airships with gondolas, balloons as well as telescopes, compasses, and other. Some games also feature interesting human characters including pilots and other crew members.

In terms of their bonuses, airship themed slots feature rewarding scatters that bring loads of Free Spins as well as valuable wild symbols that have their usual functionality of replacing other symbols.
