Social gaming was expected to be the biggest trend in the online gambling world this year, and International Game Technology is milking the opportunity. The online pokies provider has launched a new game based on House MD on its social gambling platform, Double Down Casino. The game is currently free to play, and offers players a unique gaming experience.

In case you’re not familiar with House, it is television series based on a sarcastic and antisocial doctor, who solves medical mysteries. The show experienced a great deal of success while it was on the air and spawned seven highly-rated seasons. House’s final episode aired in 2012, but IGT is making it possible for players at Double Down Casino to relive all of the excitement and intrigue with its new online pokies game.

“Many of us on the DoubleDown team were already fans of House, we used our experience to create a game that other fans were sure to enjoy," said Greg Enell of IGT’s social gaming division. "Social gamers will also appreciate the classic slot action and double bonus rounds." Several popular characters from the series will be featured in the game, including Greg House, Wilson, Foreman, Thirteen and Robert Chase.

The game will also include a number of great bonuses features, such as wild symbols, scatter symbols and free spins. The Differential Diagnosis bonus gives players the chance to explore several diagnoses from the history of the series while the Medical Mysteries bonus has players review patient files for bonus prizes. Currently, House MD is only available at Double Down Casino.

This means that there is not a real-money version of this particular online pokies game. Rather than converting it existing games into social casino apps, IGT is creating games that will be exclusive to Double Down Casino, providing players with a unique experience. Since the new House MD pokie is a play-money game, IGT will earn its profits in new ways.

Advertising revenue accounts for a large portion of profits earned by social gaming developers and players are also given the option of purchase in-game extras such as credits.
