| Silicon Gaming, Inc. has received approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board to introduce four new game titles for its Odyssey slot machine. One of the new slot machines will have a magic theme. Titled “Top Hat 21 – High Jinks at the Blackjack Table,” it takes place backstage after a magic show. On top of a magician’s trunk, a top hat and a magic wand come to life, making cards appear and disappear in combinations that approach 21 – and sometimes more. Players get the opportunity to split, double down, and buy insurance. With each winning hand, players also have a chance to double their award with a game of “Hi or Lo.” Another slot will have a Fortune teller theme. http://www.silicongaming.com.(3/15) |
