Sons of Anarchy Slots
For the past six years Sons of Anarchy has taken the world by storm, becoming one of the top rated cable series of all time and garnering wide acclaim from viewers and critics alike. The show revolves around the world of the biker gang called the Sons of Anarchy, who features the gang members Jax Teller, Chibbs Telford, Clay Morrow, and several others as they duel with other gangs, law enforcement, and trying to keep hard drugs out of the city.
Australian gambling firm Aristocrat secured the rights to develop a slot based on the television series, and is expected to release a game to land casinos throughout the world sometime during the first half of 2015. The game will be presented in Aristocrat's cutting edge VerveHD cabinet, which implements two 21.5 inch monitors, programmable buttons, and an ergonomic design that is said to be very comfortable.
Loads of Familiar Features
Feature wise, Sons of Anarchy will contain a bevy of common slot features including Wild Symbols, Free Spins, and is tied into a large progressive jackpot that can easily exceed the $500,000 mark. Although the game was debuted at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas in 2014, Aristocrat were tight lipped about the game's features and there isn't as much to go on as the group had a tight clamp on video footage for the title.
Aristocrat Expecting Success
Commenting on the game's upcoming release Aristocrat Vice President of Gaming Operations Dallas Howard said, "At Aristocrat, we have been very aggressive and deliberate in seeking out and securing popular, high-profile licensed titles for our customers and their players, and 'Sons of Anarchy' fits perfectly within that strategy. Our designers have been working closely with the FX team at 'Sons of Anarchy,' and the creative result is a game that perfectly captures the essence of the show and combines that with Aristocrat's proven math."
Fox Consumer Products Vice President of Global Sales and Retail Roz Nowicki added: "The Sons of Anarchy lifestyle has permeated popular culture, and we've seen this movement take over fashion, toys, accessories, housewares and other line extensions. We are proud to see the success of the show recognized by partners such as Aristocrat, which is creating a gaming experience that is true to the series."
2015 - The Year of the TV Show Slot
2015 was a huge year for slot machines based on popular TV shows. With the likes of Sex and the City, CSI, the Jetsons and Family Guy already on casino floors, 2015 will see them joined by an even bigger list. Friends, the Flintstones, the Big Bang Theory and Sons of Anarchy may just be the start as savvy slot makers look to corner the market by licensing titles that are sure to have mass appeal. I for one am excited.
