As noted by the company, the title will increase its reach of new player bases and demographics, with Nunes’ global presence to significantly boost its reach in the localised US market and provide some “well-needed gender balance to the casino vertical.”
The slot will launch after the title rematch between Nunes and Julianna Peña in Dallas on 30 July, with Nunes aiming to reclaim her title as the UFC Bantamweight Champion.
“Amanda Nunes is an ambitious fighter who doesn’t show weakness in her matches, being one of the best ground wrestlers in MMA and going toe-to-toe with the world’s most skilled fighters,” a statement from Armadillo Studios read.
“The slot captures Amanda Nunes’ successful career by taking the players to the UFC cage. They can experience the world of MMA fighting through various interactive mechanics, a unique Fight Feature, Free Spins, a Lioness Link bonus, and a Fortune Bet mode that upgrades Nunes’ punching power.”
Armadillo Studios also highlighted the smooth gameplay and great soundtrack and animations, all of which will aim to create a captivating slot.
“As we make strides in our US market expansion, we realise the importance of branded content,” said Armadillo Studios COO David Stoveld. “We are thrilled to finally be ready to release a slot centred around a true, one-of-a-kind MMA icon.
“The Lioness slot has really come together, and we are proud of the final game product as well as the opportunity to work alongside the legendary Amanda Nunes.”
