For those of a certain age, the film Top Gun will be forever deemed a classic. And now industry leader Playtech has adapted the 1986 blockbuster into a fun and exciting new slot game.
Top Gun slot
The Top Gun slot is sure to take your breath away (sorry, it had to be done!) with heaps of action from the film and a host of bonus features to boot.
Bonus features
The bonus features include the famous F-14 Tomcat fighter jet flown by Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell and his wingman ‘Goose,’ played by Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards respectively. During the Dog Fight Wilds bonus the jet zooms over the reels firing at symbols to turn them wild. The Dog Fight Wild feature also appears in the Danger Zone free spins round, which is triggered when three or more scatters appear on the reels.
243 ways to win!
Top Gun is a five-reel slot with a respectable 243 ways to win. As part of the Playtech ONE omni-channel portfolio, the game is being launched simultaneously across desktop and mobile platforms allowing players to access content on any device through one single account.“This iconic movie was the ideal choice for a premium branded game and is sure to be a hit for all our casino licensees and their players across all channels and devices, delivering, as we do with every title and every product, the ultimate gaming experience,” commented Shimon Akad, chief operating officer at Playtech.
Top Gun’s 30th Anniversary
The announcement of this new branded slot game is perfectly timed, coming just ahead of Top Gun’s 30th anniversary in 2016. The film made almost $400million dollars in cinemas after its release and a screenplay is currently being written for a long-overdue sequel, with Tom Cruise (who is conspicuously absent from the slot, probably due to licensing rights) rumoured to be resurrecting his role as Maverick.
