NetEnt Announced New Slot at ICE: Guns N? Roses

[jarmo]

Published March 13, 2015

At the ICE Totally Gaming conference that was held in February of this year, NetEnt CEO Per Eriksson revealed the company?s newest branded slot game: Gun N? Roses?. Unveiling a new branded slot at ICE has become something of a tradition for NetEnt; last year, the company unveiled Aliens? and the year before that, South Park, The Slot?.

While NetEnt did not give away many details about the new Guns N? Roses slot, unleashing the name alone has created quite a stir. The Guns N? Roses? slot will be the first slot game featuring a rock band in NetEnt history, and Guns N? Roses is a colorful band with amazing music. They have sold 100 million records worldwide, have six number one singles, six number one albums and sixteen top 10 singles! The band members, Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler, will almost certainly grace the reels in the new game, but what special features NetEnt has in store have yet to be seen.

What is a Branded Slot?

A branded slot is a slot game that has been developed in cooperation with large companies such as Universal?, 20th Century Fox? or South Park Studios?. NetEnt has enjoyed a good relationship with all these companies, and as such, has been able to produce branded slots that quickly become fan favorites.

For the Guns N? Roses slot, NetEnt has partnered with Universal Music Group and Geffen Records.

Players Love Branded Slots

One of the most appealing aspects of NetEnt branded slots is the recognizable characters, whether they are from film, or in this case, music. In fact, in 2014, gamers played a total of 1.4 billion rounds on NetEnt branded slots!

Some famous NetEnt branded slots include Aliens?, Scarface?, Frankenstein?, Creature From the Black Lagoon? and The Invisible Man?. NetEnt is also planning to release Dracula? in April of this year.

This is cool.  But not sure how accurate they are about Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven gracing the reels.  My guess is that it won't have any faces.

Unless they know something they are not saying they got the band members wrong.

Not if the Slot will simply feature the classic lineup.

Been looking forward to this.  Quit talking about it and get it on the floor!  I'd like to play it.  Any merchandise going to be available for this?

Thanks for posting that Spirit.

Interesting that they showed all classic lineup stuff.  Pretty big step for Axl to stand behind something that shows the old band (though in Gn'R world that probably didn't occur).

I love to gamble

But I hate slot machines

However, when I ever see this machine.   I am for sure going to toss in a couple of hundred just for the playing experience.  Especially if the nurse is close with some free drinks

Since it is an online slot played in online casinos. you won't have to worry Baconman

I'm very curious to see it!!

Concept is cool, the delivery is confusing if we are supporting the current band.

Don't understand why anyone has to pick and choose, I have seen every real lineup of GNR and have enjoyed different aspects of them all.

What is the major issue some people have with this online slot promoting the classic lineup? Apparently it was signed off on, the only people I see complaining are a certain faction of fans online.

Nice to see Jarmo supporting the classic line up again

[EmilyGNR]

Nice to see Jarmo supporting the classic line up again

He has always been supportive of GNR in totality, the only thing he has done (and I am in agreement 100% here) is to rebuke the random "fans" that insist one particular lineup somehow negates all others.

It's okay to be a fan of all incarnations of GNR, why choose when you don't have to?

Nice to see Jarmo supporting the classic line up again

Nice to see some of you still don't get it.

But, whatever floats your boat I guess. Keep believing what you want.

Well, think of it more like you're supporting a brand rather than a band.

For example, the company might make Star Wars slot.

To me, SW is Luke, Han, Leia, etc., but there is more recent stuff out there that could be used. Either way, it's a Star Wars brand.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's sort of still GNR because you're tapping history rather than current events.

That's how I see it and it's a good way for the company to justify it (also, they probably make more money off a character with a top hat who is more well known than say a guy with a bucket on his head, etc.)

Hope that makes sense.

[Gunsguy]

My point was yes it is cool and stuff but so to would be if it had the current lineup or all

[mortismurphy]

I think it is tacky beyond belief. Gene Simmons eat your heart out.

It's "cool and stuff" either way, I like all the different incarnations of GNR. It was signed off on, so apparently nobody else had issues with it.
