In the online casino and land-based gambling world, branded pokies are part of the hottest trend right now. Many developers are securing licenses with entertainment companies for the rights to produce pokies games based on popular television shows, movies and games. The latest branded online pokie comes from IGT, and is based on the popular Ghostbusters film series.
The online release of Ghostbusters will be a remake of IGT’s land-based poker machine. The game has performed exceedingly well in brick-and-mortar casinos and pokie clubs, and it seems only natural that such a popular pokie would be brought into the online casino world for more exposure. Ghostbusters pokies does a great job with its branding.
The game features all of the series’ main characters, as well as some of the best-known ghosts. This 30-payline pokie game offers up a highly interactive experience for players. With 3D graphics, the game invites players along on the paranormal adventures of the Ghostbusters. In the Ballroom Busters bonus game, players chase ghosts and capture them in their proton packs for cash prizes.
The Stay Puft Man also makes an appearance in the game, making it rain toasted marshmallows from the sky during the Free Spins bonus round. Now seems to be the ideal time for this land-based pokie game to make its online debut. We’ve been hearing quite a lot of news lately about the impending production of a third Ghostbusters movie.
Actor Dan Aykroyd and director Ivan Reitman are attached to the title, but Bill Murray has stated that he will not be returning for the third movie. It could start filming as early as Autumn 2013, and IGT’s new online slots game will keep the series fresh in players’ head as they await the release of the film.
