The world’s premier robot combat competition, BattleBots, has linked up with Konami Gaming to create the first official BattleBots casino slot games.
Currently previewing to the public at Caesars Entertainment Studios during the new season taping and 2021 World Championship, the slot title includes some of BattleBots’ “most iconic” robot competitors – such as Tombstone, Witch Doctor and HyperShock.
“For more than two decades, BattleBots fans have taken part in the competition’s most exciting moments,” said Edward Roski, BattleBots creator and CEO. “Now BattleBots slots are taking robot fighting time to the casino floor, as another way to join in iconic scenes and machines from the show—with a cash chance,”
“Teams and audiences here at the 2021 World Championship event have been truly wowed by the slot game’s unique creativity and massive presence. We’re thrilled to work with Konami to bring BattleBots to the gaming arena.”
The new BattleBots slot series is displayed at the live taping of BattleBots Season 6, at Caesars Entertainment Studios in Las Vegas through September 4, 2021.
In addition, the BattleBots linked progressive jackpot game is being shown on Konami’s newest game machine hardware DIMENSION 75C, with 75-inch curved screen in 4K Ultra High-Definition. Konami will also be making the series available on its award-winning DIMENSION 49J machine, with 49-inch “J-curve” display in 4K UHD.
“When people across the world watch BattleBots, it gives a sense of excitement, competition, curiosity, and wit unlike any other competition,” added Tom Jingoli, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming, Inc. “There is no combat sport quite like BattleBots. And there’s no casino slot quite like BattleBots.
“We put the BattleBox into a casino slot—where the battle is a bonus and the Giant Nut is a Grand Jackpot.”
