WMS Gaming, a Scientific Games company, announced the U.S. launch of “The Flintstones,” a new video slot based on the iconic 1960s animated series featuring stone-aged workingmen, at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City.
The Flintstones game combines the sights, sounds and characters of the classic animated series with the manufacturer’s Gamefield xD cabinet.
“Keeping our slot floor fresh and exciting for our players is extremely important at Borgata, and we are thrilled to be the first casino to offer The Flintstones game from WMS,” said Ted Herzchel, vice president of slot operations for the Borgata.
The town of Bedrock is brought to life thanks to a 42-inch horizontal screen over a vertical 32-inch screen with a mechanical wheel on the Gamefield xD cabinet. The five-by-four base game features both a Flintstones and a Rubbles array, and reels stretch up to 10 symbols high as wild reels and multipliers are potentially added in a mystery feature. Unique bonus rounds, drawn straight from the series, include the “Bedrock Bowling” feature and the “Dino Bonus.”
Borgata worked seamlessly with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, which approved the slot under the “Jersey First” program, which streamlines slot approvals for games that will be launched first in Atlantic City.
“Borgata has always been a great partner to WMS,” said Dean Ehrlich, WMS senior vice president of global gaming operations, “and we are very excited to work with them on the first installation of our exciting new brand, The Flintstones.”
