TV Fans Geek Out for 'Sex' Slot Machines

December 16, 2009 at 5:46 PM | by Whalehead | 0 Comments

UPDATE: Planet Hollywood is a beta tester for the game. Very cool.

Fanatics of the popular HBO television program “Sex and the City” had reason to geek this week, when slot machine manufacturer IGT unveiled new devices with themes from the show.

The slots, which will debut in Las Vegas and Reno early next year, were made under the MegaJackpots label, and have been accessorized with IGT's popular Multi-Level Progressives and MultiPLAY game functionality.

They enable players to wager denominations of up to $1 per credit. The machines also offer bettors a chance at five progressive jackpots and four bonus games.

With each bonus game, players will get to watch their favorite video clips (such as that insufferable "Hello, lover!" line) from the HBO series. What’s more, a video image of Mr. Big talks players through the bonus games, cheers them on and congratulates them on their wins (proving that the slot machine indeed objectifies us men as much as the television show did).

These new “Sex” machines are the second IGT products to bear images of a popular HBO show. Two years ago around this time, the company released similar slots with themed after “The Sopranos” which we've currently seen at The Venetian and The Palazzo. Of course.

Both products were officially licensed by HBO Licensing & Retail.

Now that HBO has two slots on the market, we wonder when to expect “True Blood” slots to hit the gaming floor. Also, will Showtime counter with “Dexter” machines? Will Fox unveil machines themed after “Glee?” Only time will tell.
