NetEnt enters sports territory with their upcoming horse racing slot game!

Slot games nowadays can take on pretty much any shape or form, they can be created to fit any sort of theme, and the creators can have as much imagination as they please. This is why we can have so many various different game releases every month with everything from intergalactic space robots to oriental princess warriors fighting to defeat evil. But one theme which hasn’t really been utilized within the online slots world is horse racing, this is probably because horse racing is considered a sport and a casino game in itself, which is true, but who said that it can’t be both? We all know NetEnt and we know what they are capable with in their innovative games which makes this all the more exciting.

NetEnt have taken the simple yet classic game of horse racing and decided to create it into a slot game of its own. ‘Scudamore’s Super Stakes’. This won’t just be any old horse racing slot however, NetEnt has partnered with the 8-time champion jockey Peter Scudamore MBE in order to create their first ever sports branded casino game! Not only will this brand new game be a first of its kind in the sports genre, but it will be a branded game too. NetEnt have created several branded slots in the past such as Planet of the Apes, Jimi Hendrix, Jumanji, Motorhead and many more, but never have they ever created a game based on horse racing!

NetEnt commented on their upcoming slot game which is due to be released in late 2018/early 2019. “As one of the most revered jockeys and horse racing personalities of all time, Peter Scudamore is the perfect personality for us to partner with to launch our first sports-themed branded title. This is a landmark product for NetEnt and we are sure slots players and racing fans will be thrilled with the results when the game launches next year” states Bryan Upton the Director of Game Products at NetEnt. The jockey himself, Peter Scudamore also said a few words about their collaboration stating “From our first conversation, NetEnt’s commitment to innovation and passion for creating fantastic products was clear.

I am delighted we are joining forces to launch a new slots game that will capture the unbeatable, exhilarating racing experience”.

We do not yet have a specific date set for release, however we know approximately when this Scudamore’s Super Stakes slot will be released which can give us all something to look forward to! NetEnt plans to unveil it on UK casino sites sometime during the 2018-19 National Hunt Season. We really feel like this could become a whole new era for video slots and casino games, taking one well known and loved form of gambling such a horse racing, and turning it into a slot game is something that has never been created. Who knows what the future holds now, perhaps we will be able to play Roulette in slot game form, or online live casino games can somehow be turned into a slot game. This leaves so much room for casino game providers to play with, and if done well then we will all be rubbing our hands together in happiness!
