Microgaming is well-known in the online pokie market for creating a wide range of creative and innovative games based on licensed movie, video games and television brands. This week, the company plans to expand on its branded selection of pokies with the release of a new game based on the Academy Awarding-winning action film Terminator 2.
The licensing deal was signed with Creative Licensing Corporation, which determines how the rights to the film are used. Representatives from the company certainly believed that an online pokie designed by Microgaming would be a great use for the brand’s images and soundtrack, creative an immersing gaming environment for online casino visitors.
"As explosive as the film, we are in the process of creating an action-packed, jaw- dropping slot; it’s a classic in the making,” says Roger Raatgever, Microgaming’s CEO. “We are incredibly excited to be developing an online slot around the Terminator 2 movie – it is a brand which has mass appeal and lends itself perfectly to the world of online gaming”. At the moment, little is known about the new game.
Microgaming has stated that it will be a 243-ways-to-win online pokie, but it will expand into a 1024-ways-to-win game. These types of online pokies are hugely popular; since they lack paylines, players are able to get more bang for their buck which allows them to play for longer and spend less money while doing so. Microgaming is well-versed in creating quality branded sci-fi slots games.
Its Battlestar Galactica online pokie was a huge success, and we are certain that Terminator 2 will be just as popular. Microgaming will premiere the new Terminator 2 poker machine at the ICE Totally Gaming Expo in February, along with other new innovations. The game will see its public release later in 2014. We are certainly excited to give this new online pokie a try.
