At this year’s Global Gaming Expo, pokie operators are pulling out all the stops. Aristocrat is one operator that is taking this opportunity to show off its latest games, and the company is doing it in style. To premiere its new classic Batman poker machine, Aristocrat enlisted in the help of the original Batman, Adam West. At the Global Gaming Expo, Mr West helped to introduce Aristocrat’s new Batman-themed poker machine to patrons.
While plenty of branded games are being debuted at G2E, this new pokie seems to be making the biggest splash – and, it is most likely thanks to Mr West’s appearance. There are many incarnations of Batman pokies, especially in the online gambling world. Microgaming is behind The Dark Knight series, and has recently released a new online pokie based on The Dark Knight Rises.
Both games in the series have been well-received by players and critics, due to their modern gameplay and realistic graphics. Cryptologic has also tried its hand at developing a Batman-themed slots game. It is part of the company’s DC series, which also includes Wonder Woman online pokies. This game has a more comic book feel to it, with cartoon graphics and a vibrant colour scheme.
Aristocrat is taking a completely different approach to Batman pokies by basing its game on the original Batman TV show from the 1960s. While the series was quite over-the-top and fairly comical, it is still iconic, and there are plenty of players who would want to spin the reels on a Classic Batman pokie. The game will be linked to a progressive jackpot network, which seeds at $250 000.
The poker machine will also feature the iChair, a surround-sound gaming chair that aims to immerse the player in the gaming experience. At the moment, this is all we know about the new Classic Batman pokie from Aristocrat, but we will keep you updated with more details as we discover them.
