LONDON – Hoping to capture the attention of hardcore fans of the adult fantasy magazine, Heavy Metal, Cantor Gaming (www.cantorcasino.com) has signed an exclusive deal with the popular magazine to develop a series of online casino games based on characters from Heavy Metal.
“Heavy Metal has long been a cult classic and our design teams immediately saw the ability to build innovative, cutting-edge casino games based on the brand,” said Manu Gambhir, Cantor Gaming Managing Director. “The games will be edgy, highly-animated and deliver a completely new experience to our players.”
Gambhir added that the team-up with Heavy Metal is in line with Cantor Gaming’s mission “to provide its players with fresh, exciting games from leading brands around the world.”
Kevin Eastman who is publisher and editor of Heavy Metal since he acquired it in 1991 commented:
“I am delighted to have reached an agreement with Cantor Gaming to bring the unique characters and storylines to a new marketplace that I am sure will appreciate the vibrancy and originality of the brand.”
Eastman is also popular for his other work, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Heavy Metal’s penchant for dark fantasy/sci-fi and erotica have made it a cult favourite since it appeared in stores in the 70s. It has helped introduce European talents like Enki Bilal, Milo Manara, Philippe Druillet, and Moebius to an American audience.
One of Heavy Metal’s most popular character is the sexy space siren Druuna and whether she makes an appearance in one of Cantor’s online games is something that hardcore fans of the magazine will surely await.
