Betfair go live with Evel Knievel slot

ne operators Betfair have launched an Evel Knievel slot game.

Created by HTML5 and tablet casino games developers Core Gaming, the 50-line branded title charts the exploits of the legendary stunt performer.

The new offering boasts a free spin feature as well as unlimited locked free spins.

Available on both desktop and mobile, the game can be found under Betfair’s Arcade tab.

Last year Core Gaming agreed an exclusive five-year deal with the Knievel estate to create online slot games based around the brand, with the recent release set for a 2014 launch across platforms including Openbet, GTS, Leander and Odobo.

There are also plans to release branded Evel Knievel content into emerging markets including the US, while games could also launch into UK land-based markets.

Core Gaming CEO Justin Chamberlain said: “We really enjoy creating games around themes that have already amassed a huge fan base.

“We are very proud that this game sits within our portfolio of proprietary HTML5 casino games and believe it will be a huge hit with both our clients and players around the world.”

Meanwhile Betfair Casino have launched a new TV ad campaign. Unveiled last month, Live the Thrill, Live is to showcase the firm’s new Live Casino offer.
