Leading gaming machine provider The Global Draw, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation [Nasdaq: SGMS], is releasing an innovative new B2 game to the UK betting shop market. ‘Reels of Fortune’ was first unveiled at the International Gaming Expo (IGE) earlier this year. It is a revolutionary B2 game based on a multi-reel format and has been designed by The Global Draw’s sister company Games Media. Reels of Fortune is played with 20 sets of reels, all of which are random and have one win line for cash prizes. Players can win on one set of reels or up to all 20 sets. The game has a multi-stake option from as little as 5p or up to £5 per each set of reels. It also includes a spinning wheel bonus feature. Reels of Fortune has proved extremely popular as a Cat C game across Games Media’s own digital estate in the pub retail sector, prompting the company to adapt it for The Global Draw’s betting shop market. Rick Mountney, The Global Draw’s Head of Content, said: “We are constantly looking at ways of enhancing our gaming offer and tapping into player trends and preferences to deliver market leading content. “Through our own in-house development team and best of breed third party developers we are able to deliver to our customers a suite of quality games for all types of player. “Our relationship with Games Media has been invaluable in this instance, allowing us to combine our skills and market knowledge to create a powerful and engaging customer proposition. “IGE, where The Global Draw and Games Media were exhibiting together, was the perfect platform for a market launch of Reels of Fortune and we were delighted with the feedback received at the event.” Reels of Fortune will be released to the market via The Global Draw’s estate of Nevada terminals. Founded in 1997, The Global Draw has more than 12,000 gaming terminals operating in 3,300 betting shops in the UK. It also provides server based gaming solutions to international gaming venues in mainland Europe, the Far East, Latin America and the Caribbean.
