Mad Men Slot Machine
Since it premiered in 2007 on the American television network AMC, Mad Men has proven to be one of the cable channel's most popular dramas of all-time. The television show is based on a New York City advertising agency, showcasing a 1960's time period and revolves around a character named Don Draper. The series has garnered critical acclaim, earning four Golden Globes and fifteen Emmy Awards. The series is currently airing its seventh and final season, which is scheduled to wrap up in the summer of 2015.
US based betting giant WMS Gaming has obtained the rights to Mad Men and is creating a video slot based on the popular television series. This property joins several other large entertainment brands offered by WMS, which includes franchises such as Beetlejuice, The Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka, and The Game of Life. The title is one of several exciting games that WMS is touting for release next year for land casinos located throughout the United States and around the world.
Heading out to land casinos throughout the world, Mad Men will undoubtedly become of the most popular video slots at these brick and mortar destinations.
Mad Men Slot Game Features
Featuring 5 reels and up to 80 paylines (when using 40 credits), Mad Men is a video slot that comes complete with a Mad Men Bonus, which is triggered when a win exceeding 5x is set off. There is also a Don Draper Bonus Game, which tasks players with selecting an advertising pitch, which will reveal win multipliers. Topping things off is the Roger Sterling Bonus game, which allows up to 50 Wild Symbols on a spin as well as a Joan Holloway feature that includes Free Spins.
The game cabinet itself is spectacular, packing in a large 42 inch curved LCD display which contains footage from the show in stunning 1080p. In terms of computer power, Mad Men features WMS's CPU-NXT?3 operating system, which contains a hard drive, RAM, and Pentium Processor. This allows for the title to provide immersive 3D graphics and features that make you feel as if you are a part of the action. Mad Men was originally unveiled at the G2E expo in Las Vegas in 2014, and it is expected that the game will hit casino floors sometime in early to mid 2015.
I myself found the game to be immersive and quite entertaining. Although I am not a big fan of the show, I found my short period testing Mad Men to be extremely fun. The game has a lot of symbols unique to the show, but also includes the slot machine staple of poker card symbols, which are very prevalent in this game.
Mad Men is Sure to Be a Hit
Mad Men by WMS looks to be very sharp, and delivers an exclusive and immersive betting experience that envelops you as you play. I only spent a few minutes with the game and found myself completely wrapped up in the experience. For me to feel this way about a game in which I don't care for the subject matter is unique, and I had an excellent time with it. Needless to say I am extremely excited to be able to play this game for real money when it launches next year.
