Swedish software developer NetEnt is known for releasing top quality slots, and as they have proven recently with the likes of Planet of the Apes and Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse, they can turn culturally iconic television and stage shows into great slots too.It’s therefore exciting to hear that the developer has confirmed a deal with A+E Networks at ICE (International Casino Expo) in London that NetEnt will be releasing a new slot based around the immensely popular television show Vikings.
What we know?
At this point, we know nothing about the slot, but we do know Vikings, the show that follows a Norse clan of Vikings who attempt to invade England and France.With a sixth season not long away, the popularity of the television show has never been higher, and when this slot, expected to land in late 2018, is released, it will have an immediate fanbase.
Hard work behind the scenes
Henrik Fagerlund, Chief Product Officer at NetEnt said:“To be able to provide our players with a different genre of branded game, showcases the hard work we’re putting in behind the scenes to create such high-quality content and further expand our portfolio.“Vikings has quickly become a TV favourite since the first season in 2013 and appeals to a vast audience worldwide… It’s a classic and historical theme packed with action and we’re sure the players will be looking forward to the launch later this year.”This isn’t the only cult TV phenomenon in NetEnt’s future either, as they’ve also confirmed a partnership with the Gaumont movie studio to create a slot based around Narcos, the much-loved Netflix drama series inspired by the life of notorious Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar, so there’s a lot to look forward to!
