MICROGAMING LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY BATTLESTAR GALACTICA™ VIDEO SLOT

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 04:29 AM PST

ISLE OF MAN   Microgaming, the world's largest provider of online gaming software, launches its revolutionary Battlestar Galactica™ video slot.

Based on the critically acclaimed science-fiction drama, the Battlestar Galactica (BSG) video slot has been developed by Microgaming through a licensing agreement with NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products.

Battlestar Galactica is a gripping saga focusing on humanity's last remnants and their struggle to find a new home whilst fleeing their deadly Cylon enemies.  Celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2013, Battlestar Galactica has become a globally recognised brand. In 2003, BSG captured the minds of a new generation of fans when Universal Cable Productions remade BSG into an action-packed, drama filled mini-series. The mini-series enjoyed strong international appeal with the series finale reaching over 14million viewers worldwide. Microgaming's Battlestar Galactica game captures all of the excitement of the television series that became a worldwide phenomenon.

The BSG video slot immerses the player into a gripping audio-visual experience with a star studded cast of characters.  Among the technological advances in its gameplay is an innovative Achievement Ranking System, which unlocks more video content for the player as they move through the game.  In addition, the slot features different modes, including 'Run' and 'Fight' that a player can enter at any time.

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, comments: "Our portfolio of branded games has been strengthened considerably by the addition of Battlestar Galactica.  Battlestar Galactica, an iconic sci-fi brand, provides an ideal theme for us to create an online slot game – and we are extremely excited about the launch.  With superior graphics and a host innovative features, we are confident that we have created a great gaming experience reflective of the iconic nature of the brand.

Sega’s Living The Dream At EAG International

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 04:26 AM PST

 

 

Confirmed as occupying the largest space at the forthcoming EAG International Expo January 22-24, Sega Amusements will be utilising every inch of its impressive stand at London’s Excel as it debuts a range of exciting and innovative new products for the amusements industry.

Dream Raiders Cabinet

General Manager Justin Burke is a seasoned exhibitor at EAG International, supporting every show to date: "We've attended every EAG International since its inception and will be using the Expo not only to showcase products launched at IAAPA, but also some additional new innovations.

“At Sega Amusements, research and development is a constant and core activity, so there are often exclusive launches at the London show," he intimated.

Sega Amusements is a multi-faceted business engaged in the development and manufacture of original licensed products and in-house merchandise. In keeping with Sega's service ethic, the support, service and parts division of the business takes high priority. Indeed, the company has earned third party distribution agreements with leading manufacturers including ICE and Pan Amusements.

Justin Burke revealed that more than 30 staff will be in attendance at the company's stand at EAG International, which it considers a fundamental sequel following IAPPA: "It's important that we show our support and commitment to the trade. However, we do see our presence at EAG International as a way of finding new customers as with all of the 50 or so shows we do annually."

For the visitor, a trip to the Sega Amusements stand will certainly be a worthwhile experience with the opportunity to experience a variety of all the latest releases.

Premiering in the UK will be Dream Raiders, an exciting two seat full motion adventure game. Players are invited to choose their dream experience from a selection of nine, and then to raid as much treasure as possible, whilst fending off strange and incredible creatures with their Dream Blaster weapons. With a 55 inch plasma plate screen and special effects such as wind and weapon feedback, 'Living the Dream' is likely to be an unforgettable experience.

Also making their UK debut will be the eagerly anticipated Pirates of Monster Island, SEGA's latest fun-packed video ticket redemption game and the new skill testing Key Master In Colour range.

"There will be more new product on display, with details being revealed closer to the show," hinted Justin.

"So whether it be to 'Live The Dream,' to experience our latest and most innovative games, or even to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 21st birthday, do visit us on stand No 860, you will be assured of a warm welcome," he promised.

Registration for EAG International Expo 2013 is now open at www.eagexpo.com
