The South Point Casino in Las Vegas is launching new themed slot machine games based on the television show “Discovery Shark Week” and entertainer “Willie Nelson,” on a new platform.

The games are produced by Everi Holdings.

“We are excited to be the first property in Las Vegas to offer several of Everi’s latest titles and cutting-edge hardware products to our players,” South Point Slot Director Cliff Paige said in a statement. “Since their placement, it’s clear these compelling and distinct games and hardware innovations are engaging our players at higher levels based on player feedback and floor performance. We want to offer our players a highly unique gaming experience and these products from Everi enable us to do just that.”

Everi’s sign package is impossible for players to miss on South Point’s floor as it features three 43-inch convex curved monitors, combining to create a stunning visual bonus experience. Two classic slot themes Diamond Blaze™ and Diamond Blaze 9 Reel™ are paired with the time-honored Hot Stuff the Little Devil™ brand that offers players an incredible and memorable entertainment experience.

“We feel privileged to have the opportunity to partner with South Point and provide their players our latest and best performing games and hardware products,” said Ed Peters, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “Our investments in new banked products, game content, and hardware is squarely aimed at providing a highly unique and desirable entertainment experience for players, which is reflected in the performance we are seeing at South Point with our Renegade 3600, Discovery Shark Week, and Willie Nelson.”

Discovery’s Shark Week on Empire Arena is uniquely designed to fully immerse the player as if they are peering through a window into an undersea world filled with lively sharks and other sea life swimming around a brightly colored coral reef. Sea life transitions seamlessly across massive 55-inch portrait format top screens while players engage with three exciting base games through touch capable 27-inch landscape oriented LCD bottom screens. Players love the heart-pounding bank-wide bonus feature Shark Alert that creates an incredible amount of anticipation prompting them to prepare for a new adrenaline-pumping rate of play.

The legendary country music of Willie Nelson, one of the most iconic American singer-songwriters of all time, is at South Point now on Everi’s Empire MPX cabinet. Filled with rare personal footage of Willie and six of his hit songs, players love the game’s eight unique, highwayman inspired bonus features including the Bloody Mary Morning Respins, I Gotta Get Drunk Pick Bonus, and On the Road Again with expanding reels.
