NetEnt, the noted online casino games developer from Sweden has joined hands with the Sony Pictures Consumer Products for launching a new video slot game. The upcoming slot will be based on blockbuster US fantasy adventure film ‘Jumanji’- which was released in 1995.
The upcoming Jumanji’ video game slot follows the release of the 2nd film in the movie franchisee which was released in December 2017. The sequel to the first movie, which was named ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ also proved to be a blockbuster despite getting mixed reviews from the critics. It managed to gross over $700 million worldwide.
Henrik Fagerlund, NetEnt’s Chief Product Officer quoted that the company is trying its best to bring diversity in its slot portfolio. The company has tasted success by launching slots based on successful Hollywood blockbuster series such as Planet of the Apes. Fagerlund added the first movie released back in 1995, still has a cult following and the cross-generational appeal should help the game too. The recent release of the sequel is also going to work in favor of this slot by renewing interest of the fans. The slot is going to be unveiled soon enough.
