In recent years, super heroes have become popular inspiration for poker machines. Many land-based and online pokie developers have based their games on comic book heroes and villains. Australian-based developer NextGen Gaming has recently announced that its latest game will follow this trend, as it will be based on the Judge Dredd comic book character.
Judge Dredd is a comic book character that has been around in 1976. He made his first appearance in the 2000 AD comic by Pat Mills and John Wagner. Over the years, many more authors and artists have become involved in Judge Dredd comics, including Alan Moore. He is not the more well-known hero, but he has made an impact on the comic book world. Recently Judge Dredd was ranked in IGN’s Top 100 Superheroes list.
The new Judge Dredd Poker machine will be the first in a series of games based on 2000 AD. The game will be available as an online pokie, available to players at online casinos and other digital gambling sites. NextGen Gaming will have exclusive rights to the character.
“We’re proud to be working with one of the greatest comic characters of all time in bringing a multi-featured, richly branded gaming experience online with Judge Dredd,” says Scott Smith of NYX Gaming Group. NextGen is well-known for its collection of high-quality online slots games. As one of the few Australian-based companies that creates online pokies, NextGen has earned a great deal of praised in the local market.
The company has also received international recognition, being named the 2013 RNG Casino Supplier of the Year Award at the EGR B2B Awards.
With such a great reputation in the gambling market, we’re certain that NextGen will do Judge Dredd justice. We are excited to give the game a spin when its released.
