With so many branded slots games being launched in the online and land-based gambling markets, you would think that some gaming operator would have secured the rights to the Star Wars brand long ago. However, it was only last year that International Game Technology decided to obtain a gaming license for this iconic brand.
Now, the game will finally hit the market, and players will be able to win generous cash prizes by wagering on the new Star Wars Trilogy pokies game. Players are able to choose from one of three base games, each corresponding to a movie from the original trilogy.
A New Hope, The Jedi Returns and The Emperor Strikes Back each provide players with unique gameplay features that are based on scenes and characters from that particular movie. So, players can customize their gaming experience based on which instalment is their favourite. Each game is also equipped with an immersive bonus round, which puts players in place of characters from the movies.
In the Battle of Yavin Bonus, players travel through the Death Star trench and collect credits as they dig deeper. In the Battle of Hoth Bonus, players pilot an AT-AT and attempt to shoot down their enemies for cash prizes. In the Emperor’s Final Battle Bonus, players can choose to be Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker, before facing off in an epic battle as credits are awarded to the successful opponent.
IGT has also equipped the game with a unique multiplayer feature. As players complete bonus rounds, they share their prizes amongst each other. It is a communal gaming experience that unites all players sitting at the game bank, even though they are all playing individually. The Star Wars brand is exclusive to International Game Technology, so you will not find any imitations from other gaming developers.
The game is expected to be a huge hit in casinos, clubs and pubs around the world, especially with the recent news that a seventh movie will be released.
