NetEnt have never shied away from a challenge, and at this year’s ICE Convention it became clear that the new test they are taking on is whether they can convert some of the best and most bingeworthy television shows into successful slot games.This included the announcement that Vikings would be becoming an online slot, and the perhaps even more exciting news that Netflix’s smash hit Narcos would also be getting the same treatment!
About the slot
The announcement is recent, and the slot is not expected until the end of the year, so we’re limited in terms of information at this point, but we do have a decent idea what the slot will be about.With the popular series following the life of infamous drug cartel leader Pablo Escobar having so much plot and storyline, there are many ways that NetEnt could have gone here, but with their promotional material featuring the phrase “the hunt is on”, we can safely assume that the slot will focus on the DEA and their attempts to catch Escobar and his gang.
What can we expect?
As Planet of the Apes has proven, and Jumanji is set to, NetEnt have a real skill when it comes to taking an incredibly popular movie or television show, and converting it into a spectacular slot, and that’s what we expect to happen here too.The design is likely to be amazing, and include stills, and probably scenes from the television series, while features may include free spins, Avalanche reels, and many more.The truth is, we don’t know what’s coming, NetEnt tend to be fairly secretive until much closer to the time of a slot’s release, but one thing w do know for sure is that we absolutely cannot wait for the release of the Narcos slot!
