LAS VEGAS, Aug. 29, 2017
/PRNewswire/-- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ:
SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") announced today the
launch of the new slot game, ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON
BURGUNDY™ ("ANCHORMAN" or "Game"), designed
exclusively for the dramatic new TwinStar®
V24/43 cabinet.
Based on the beloved Paramount Pictures' comedy franchise,
ANCHORMAN is a five-reel, 25-line video slot game that
boasts a three-level Near-Area Progressive. The central game
feature is the engaging Big Bonus Filmstrip Stop featuring Ron
Burgundy and the rest of the comical Channel 4 News team. If the
filmstrip stops on a character, a bonus game starring that
character is triggered.
The options for the character bonus games include the Champ Kind
Free Games, where Whammy symbols on the reels advance players up an
award ladder; Ron's Giant Free Games, in which the reels expand to
20 lines; the Sex Panther Pick feature starring Brian Fantana; and Brick's Weather Wheels which
awards credits and the chance to advance to another wheel level
that awards even higher credit amounts or a multiplier. The action
never stops in this highly entertaining game.
"ANCHORMAN has woven its way into our culture, often
referred to and quoted, it has proven to be an excellent story to
base a slot game on," said Derik
Mooberry, Executive Vice President and Group Chief Executive
of Gaming for Scientific Games. "Our development team worked
diligently to stay true to the films and incorporate the comical
nuances and favorite scenes. We are certain that players and fans
will be laughing in their seats, captivated by this highly
entertaining game."
The innovative TwinStar V24/43 cabinet features
best-in-class processing power, eye-catching 24-inch and 43-inch HD
displays, interactive touch controls, and an immersive sound system
that makes for a superior player experience.
ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY will soon be
available in various jurisdictions throughout North America.
