IGT launches online and mobile game simultaneously

The Interactive division of US games and equipment supplier International Game Technology (IGT) has announced the simultaneous mobile and online launch of its popular slot Battleship.

IGT Interactive also launched two other top titles for online punters – Cluedo Classic and Dungeons and Dragons – Treasures of Icewind Dale.

The Battleship launch is IGT’s first-ever simultaneous mobile and online game release and follows licensing from Hasbro, Inc.

The theme is an epic voyage on the high seas. It is loaded with Stacked 2x Wilds that increase player involvement by instantly doubling multiple line wins, whilst the exciting Victory Bonus awards up to 36 free spins, a 10x multiplier, and up to 50 times the total bet.

On the online only front, Dungeons and Dragons Treasures of Icewind Dale is the third instalment in the D&D series. It takes players on an adventure deep into the mountains of the wintry north in search of treasures, with the quest boosted by a Dynamic Stacks feature with a different dynamic stacked symbol on each spin, and by collecting Hero symbols to activate the Free Spins Bonus.

Cluedo Classic offers a combination of sneaky suspects and deadly weapons set against a backdrop of mystery and murder in a famous mansion. The intrigue is increased with 2x Wilds that double wins, while 15 free spins and triple wins are waiting to be revealed in the Bonus.

“Our first simultaneous online and mobile launch underlines our commitment to mobile and providing the same top quality content across all channels,” said Leigh Nissim, commercial director of IGT Interactive.

“With finely tuned math models and blockbuster brands behind them, Battleship, Dungeons and Dragons Icewind and Cluedo Classic have the ingredients to become popular with our players.”

Nissim revealed that a mobile version of Cluedo Classic is on the schedule for launch in March 2014.
