A new slot game combines the action of a longtime television show with casino excitement.

BattleBots, the robot combat competition program, now has its own slot game. Konami Gaming Wednesday announced the release of the first BattleBots slot machine, now previewing at Caesars Entertainment Studios in Paradise, Nevada, during the taping of 2021 World Championship through September 4.

“For more than two decades, BattleBots fans have taken part in the competition’s most exciting moments,” said BattleBots Creator and CEO Edward Roski in a statement. “Now BattleBots slots are taking robot fighting time to the casino floor, as another way to join in iconic scenes and machines from the show—with a cash chance.”

The new slot game includes iconic BattleBots robot competitors such as Tombstone, Witch Doctor, and HyperShock. BattleBots slots players will “combat to cash” as robots strike, swing, shove, slice, and smash with each spin.

“There is no combat sport quite like BattleBots,” said Konami Gaming CEO and Executive Vice President Tom Jingoli in a statement. “And there’s no casino slot quite like BattleBots. We put the BattleBox into a casino slot—where the battle is a bonus and the Giant Nut is a Grand Jackpot.”

The BattleBots slot features a 75-inch curved screen in 4K Ultra High-Definition. The game’s general release is scheduled for next year.
