Gameco launches 'Terminator 2' VGM

GameCo Inc. today announced that it will develop three casino games for video game gambling machines (VGMs) based on the iconic science fiction film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (T2) with a license from StudioCanal S.A.S.

GameCo's exclusive VGM is an arcade-style cabinet that features a 45-90 second video game by a single player, adapted from top consoles, PCs, and mobile games. The first game was planned as a first-person action game in which players take on the role of a reprogrammed T-800 with a mission to help human resistance by exterminating the opposing terminator. The deal was brokered by Creative Licensing and is expected to debut in the casino in early 2017.

"It's exciting to introduce our famous movie titles to fans and casino players in an attractive and interactive format," said Rand Malis, president and CEO of Creative Licensing. "GameCo's VGM brings movies to life with an updated arcade format, so players can have fun as an opportunity to make big money."

GameCo recently launched at all three of its properties, Caesars Entertainment, in Atlantic City and Tropicana Atlantic City Casino & Resort, making it the world's first skill-based gaming company to showcase its products to the casino floor. GameCo is currently running major launches nationwide, with plans to operate in most major U.S. gambling jurisdictions by the end of 2017. 바다이야기

"T2 is a world-famous classic film known for its action, visual effects, and memorable characters, so it's great for the fast experiences we want to bring to casinos around the world," said Rich Maryanek, head of global business development at GameCo. "We're excited to partner with StudioCanal and CLC to bring the Terminator 2 brand into the video game gambling machine," he added.

GameCo's VGM offers an innovative new way to adapt popular licensed properties to casino environments beyond the format of existing slot machines. Video game gambling offers a unique opportunity to combine immersion and interactivity in video games with powerful characters, stories, and narratives of popular movie and TV attributes. Gamers can become terminators who play and experience the story world.
