Playtech has partnered with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, to launch the first two of six slot games based on DC’s 1960s Batman classic TV series.
In addition to these desktop and mobile progressive jackpot games to be released this year, a host of other Warner Bros. Consumer Products DC-branded titles are planned for release in 2017 and onward.
In the first two new slots, Batman & The Joker Jewels and Batman & Catwoman Cash, players help the Caped Crusader take on two of Gotham City’s toughest super-villains. Both games feature classic footage and catch phrases from the popular Batman Classic TV Series.
In both slot games, and in every Playtech DC-branded title, any spin is able to win one of four progressive DC Super Heroes Jackpots, including the huge DC Super Heroes progressive jackpot game that is linked to every slot in the Super Hero series. The additional titles include Superman I (1978), Superman II (1980), Man of Steel (2013) and Green Lantern (2011), which are due to be released by the end of this year and in early 2017.
“Our announcement at ICE this year generated significant global demand in anticipation for the launch of these exciting DC-branded games,” said Shimon Akad, chief operating officer of Playtech.
“I’m extremely proud of our collaboration between Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Playtech’s innovative development studios. The Batman Classic TV Series games, that will rapidly be followed by Superman I, Superman II Man of Steel and a whole host of other DC Super Hero branded games, are a premium addition to our best-performing range of the industry’s leading progressive jackpot slot content, and will provide our licensees and DC Super Hero fans with the ultimate Batman gaming experience.”
