Novomatic secures land and online rights to crime and horror film franchise

Austrian land and online gambling technology and equipment provider Novomatic has announced that it has acquired from Miramax a multi-year licence that will allow it to use the famous horror and crime film brand “Dusk Till Dawn” in its online and land gambling products.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino, ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, providing an ideal time to resurrect the film on casino floors and the internet worldwide. Rodriguez more recently developed ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ into an original television series that has gained rave reviews and recently concluded its third season.

Staying true to the cult classic, the first (land-based) ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ slot game delivers an explosive adventure for slot enthusiasts and fans of the film alike. Starring George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino as the Gecko brothers, Salma Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium, as well as Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis and Danny Trejo in footage from the film, players are taken on a journey to Mexico.

In addition to various features and mini bonuses happening during the base game, three bonus symbols trigger the ‘Bonus Twister’ wheel that players spin to win credits or enter a bonus. Sit back and watch the sensual dancer as she moves around the reels in the ‘Dancing Bonus’, acting as a ‘Dancing Wild’ symbol that can fill up to three reels and enhance opportunities to score.
In the ‘Mugshot Bonus’, reels spin to uncover Clooney and Tarantino mugshots that match various credits.

There has thus far been no indication on when the franchise will be applied to the online slot product.
