Spy vs Spy Slot
Since it originally debuted in MAD Magazine issue 60 in 1961, Spy vs Spy has become one of the most popular comics in the world. To this day Spy vs Spy remains very popular and regularly is seen as a popular contribution to MAD Magazine, which itself is still read by a large portion of the population.
For those of you who may not be familiar, Spy vs Spy is a comic book that was first published in MAD Magazine by artist Antonio Prohias, who signed on with MAD after he fled Cuba days before the Communists nationalized the press. Spy vs Spy does not have any words in it and sees two spies fighting each other with nefarious schemes that involve guns, explosives, and various traps. The spies are identical, save for their black or white clothing. Beyond the comic strip series, Spy vs Spy has been distributed in television commercials, in animated shorts, starred in a videogame, and been featured prominently online.
US based land casino gaming developer WMS Gaming has taken notice of the widespread appeal of this popular comic strip and jumped to secure the rights to the Spy vs Spy video slot. Released in the fall of 2014, Spy vs Spy is a 3 reel classic video slot that consists of 9 paylines, and is of the very basic variety, especially when you compare the game to more modern titles such as The Flintstones, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Elton John, Ellen, and more. The game blends in various Spy reel symbols alongside traditional slot symbols such as Bars and 7s.
Feature wise, the game includes a White Spy Mode and a Black Spy Mode, which sees one of the spies controlling the reels and escalating a series of symbol wins that you can take home. The game also includes Free Spins, Win Multipliers, and a battle mode which sees the spies facing off against each other as you try to win the game’s progressive jackpot.
The Battle Bonus sees players trying to accumulate spy symbols matching the color they picked, picking up Win Multipliers and cash in the process. These are played out through a series of Free Spins, which are set off when three Bonus Symbols are unveiled on the reels.
The game is being presented in WMS’ Blade Cabinet, which mixes in two high definition LED video screens as well as booming stereo sound. The cabinets bring a feel that reminds you a bit of older WMS slots, but also does a great job of bringing the new features that modern players are looking for.
Spy vs Spy hit the streets in the fall of 2014 and is currently being distributed to land based casinos throughout the United States, Canada, and other key betting markets. Players looking to find this game can do so by inquiring with their local land casinos, to see if they carry WMS titles on their gaming floor. While it may be an understated title, there is still a pretty solid chance that we will be seeing Spy Vs Spy out in the wild for quite some time.
