The period leading up to the Easter holidays has seen a slew of new game releases from various operators and development studios.
The licencing agreement signed last year between 888 Holdings PLC and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution has come to fruition with the launch of a new branded game titled “The Clash of the Titans”. The new video slot game is based on the blockbuster 2010 movie of the same name and has strategically launched as the sequel movie “Wrath of the Titans” hits the box office.
The Clash of the Titans, exclusive to 888.com, is a 5-reel 20-payline slot showcasing images, video clips and inspirational quotes from the movie. A Free Game feature is triggered when three or more scattered Logo’s appear from left to right. 12 free games are awarded during which all prizes are tripled and the feature can be retriggered.
Included in the Free Games feature is “Pick and Win” triggered when the Perseus symbol appears on reels 1 and 5 at the same time. This feature allows the player to pick one triggering symbol to reveal a prize which can result in a win up to 100 times the player’s triggering bet. Perseus substitutes for all symbols except for the scattered logo.
Erez Sadan, vice president, B2C Casino: “This exciting game marks another great milestone for 888. We are thrilled to be working with Warner, one of the world’s most renowned entertainment companies, and will be developing and deploying new games this year and next.”
Another new offering exclusive to 888.com is a graphic and audio-rich new 25-payline video slot titled “Dawn of the Dinosaurs”. It features an interactive Raptor Clash bonus game; collectible lava rocks that trigger a Free Spin Explosion; and a Combo Completer feature that allows players to collect T-Rex eggs for later use in completing winning combinations.
Still to come from the Warner Bros partnership is a new game based on the cult horror movie “Nightmare on Elm Street”.
“Lucky Rabbit’s Loot” is a new 50-payline slot originating in the Genesis Gaming studios with features that include free spins, stacked wilds and “Wild Slide” free spins. Three or more scattered “Lucky Rabbit’s Loot” symbols trigger the free spins feature awarding eight free spins that can be retriggered.
Viaden Gaming’s latest release “Easter Feast” is an amusing Easter-themed 21-payline video slot featuring Scatter, Wild and Bonus symbols; autospin feature and a gambling option.
An Easter Bunny acting as a Wild appearing on the screen substitutes any regular symbol in a payline to complete a winning combination. Three and more Scatter symbols represented by an Easter Chick offer players an opportunity to play up to seven free spins to increase their regular wins.
The game features two bonus games, the first “Hats & Bunny” bonus game is triggered if a player lands from three to five Hat Egg symbols. The objective – to find a bunny under one of the three hats. The second bonus game is triggered by three or more bonus symbols featuring Eggs in a Basket and is based on a traditional Easter game called egg tapping or egg fight.
