In the poker machine market, Aristocrat and International Game Technology tend to compete when it comes to branded games. Each developer creates new and innovative titles based on popular TV, movie and music brands, inadvertently one-upping each other with every new release.

This week, Aristocrat has announced the release of its new poker machine based on The Walking Dead, which certainly rivals IGT’s latest branded games. “We are very excited to bring AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ to our product line of player-favourite games,” says Dallas Orchard, VP of Gaming Operations.

“Capitalizing on the show’s dedicated following; we have designed a game that will appeal to the show’s audience which consistently draws a viewership”. In case you haven’t seen the series yet, The Walking Dead is a television show based on a graphic novel series by Robert Kirkman. The show follows a cast of characters as they attempt to survive after a zombie apocalypse.

The series has received critical acclaim, and is one of the most-watched shows on TV. As such, The Walking Dead makes the perfect theme for poker machine. The game will not only attract modern pokie fans; it will also appeal to fans of the show. So, if you’re not particularly a poker machine player, you will still likely want to give this game a spin if you’re a fan of The Walking Dead.

Few details about the game have been released. It seems that Aristocrat is waiting for the Global Gaming Expo to make the big reveal. What we do know is that the new Walking Dead poker machine will offer up a multi-level progressive jackpot prize and include clips from the series. Check out the teaser trailer for yourself:
