Playtech partners Warner Bros. for Batman slots launch
London-listed provider unveils first two Dark Knight-branded slots with four more to follow
Playtech has partnered with the consumer products arm of Warner Bros. to launch the first two of six slot games based on DC Comics’ 1960’s Batman Classic TV Series.
The two slots titles â Batman & The Joker Jewels and Batman & Catwoman Cash â are now live and sees players help the Dark Knight take on iconic villains with footage and catchphrases from the popular original TV show.
The Batman series is the first in a collaboration between Playtech and Warner Bros./DC that will see the London-listed provider unveil other superhero-themed games featuring names like Superman and the Green Lantern.
Playtech COO Shimon Akad said: “Our announcement at ICE this year generated significant global demand in anticipation for the launch of these exciting DC branded games.
“The Batman Classic TV Series games, that will rapidly be followed by Superman I, Superman II, and Man of Steel and a whole host of other DC Super Hero branded games, are a premium addition to our best-performing range of the industry’s leading progressive jackpot slot content and will provide our licensees and DC Super Hero fans with the ultimate Batman gaming experience.”
The launch of the branded-slots games comes after Playtech signed a multi-year licensing deal with Warner Bros. earlier this year to develop omni-channel casino games based on DC Comics’ films and TV shows.
