CSI Slots: When Free Spins Meet Forensics

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a TV show that first took the world by storm when it was launched in 2000. Eleven seasons on and this show boasts close to 75 million (!) viewers from all over the world, who tune in week after week to help a forensic team solve murders and deaths. CSI actors have become household names and I must admit that there have been many Thursday nights where I’ve turned down an invitation for drinks because CSI was screening.

And so, it was with great pleasure that I read that one of my favorite online gambling software providers, GTech G2 will be creating a range of slot games based on CSI!

GTech signed a deal with CBS which gives it multi-year rights to develop games based on this award winning show and, according to the software giant, we’ll be seeing the new games rolled out by the end of this year.

I read a statement by the vice president of GTech G2 today and the guy says, and I quote:  “Everybody loves a great mystery complete with fingerprints, DNA traces and characters with shady alibis. No wonder CSI is an international sensation.”

No wonder indeed! It seems that this show has hit the nail on the head to bring viewers the perfect blend between human drama, mystery and audience interaction – this is the modern day version of the classic whodunnit, the reason why Sherlock Holmes remains one of the greatest characters in the history of literature, and why the murder/mystery genre is still considered one of the most profitable out there.

So with all this oozing success, there is absolutely no doubt that CSI slots will be just as appealing to the masses. There is no doubt that GTech G2 will take all those elements and combine them into a series of exciting, thrilling and rewarding games. Players will be able to relate to their favorite characters, help solve murders and make some cool money in the process. I’m seriously counting the days until the CSI slots are launched!
