International Game Technology is all about taking well-recognized brands and turning them into poker machines. This month, the company has announced its latest branded game, which will be a pokie based on Ellen Degeneres, one of the most famous comedians in the world right now.
There will be two games in the series: The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring Ellen's Dance Party Video Slots and The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring 12 Days of Giveaways Video Slots. Both titles are based on very popular segments of the comedian’s television talk show. "I'm so excited to have my very own line of slot machines,” Ellen says.
“People are gonna have the chance to play really fun games, have their own mini dance parties and win actual cold, hard cash. I mean, honestly, what more do you want from me?" The new Ellen poker machine series from IGT will be instantly recognizable, featuring music from the show.
Ellen Degeneres has also recorded custom voiceovers for the pokies, and the series will feature famous games from the show such as Know Or Go. Another great feature of the new Ellen series of poker machines is the progressive jackpot network. Players will have the chance to win one of two generous progressive jackpots, which offer up life-changing prizes.
"IGT aspires to create the industry's most entertaining, globally appealing gaming experiences," says Joe Sigrist, of IGT. We have never seen a poker machine based on a television talk show before, so IGT it really bringing something new to the market. The Ellen Degeneres slots series will present players with a new perspective on gaming machines themes and gameplay.
We are very excited for the release of this title.
