In one bonus round, players are also given opportunities to “risk everything” for chances of larger prizes. Instead of lining up symbols, customers earn bonus points by creating clusters of characters across multiple positions and reels. That concept was worked into the game’s bonus rounds, which create a new way for the game’s players to rack up additional credits. “Whatever they acquired, they wanted more.” “These characters all have immense appetites,” Hase said. The past and present characters - including Jax, Gemma, Clay, Tara and Opie - are included in the game because of what they represent. “We sat back and looked at the essence of ‘Sons of Anarchy’ and what the show is all about.” “You don’t want to disappoint the constituent fan base because a show like this has a loyal following,” Hase said.

Hase said the slot machine had to appeal to several audiences: the show’s producers, Aristocrat executives, the show’s loyal fan base, and - ultimately - casino gamblers. “We didn’t have zombies to fall back on,” Hase said. Hase said “Sons of Anarchy” is driven by its characters and their story lines, as opposed to “Walking Dead,” which is overrun with zombies.

The idea was turned over to Ted Hase, an Aristocrat vice president who heads the company’s R&D Global Games design studio. “They not only wanted us to come up with a slot machine based on their show, they wanted the same team that produced ‘The Walking Dead’ game to work on their slot machine,” said Dallas Orchard, vice president of gaming operations for Aristocrat. The game caught the eyes of the “Sons of Anarchy” producers, who were visiting the tradeshow floor. Last year, Aristocrat displayed slot machines based on the AMC cable television series, “The Walking Dead.”

G2E, which is closed to the public, is traditionally the venue where the slot machine industry unveils its new games and products to casino operators. The annual conference and trade show runs Tuesday through Thursday at the Sands Expo and Convention Center. The game, which features images of the main characters from “Sons of Anarchy,” footage from the FX cable network series and a new way for gamblers to collect bonus rewards, will be unveiled next week at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. The show’s top executives approached the gaming company to discuss the concept.
