King Features, the rights holder to many classic characters like Popeye, has hired DMA Animation to bring Betty Boop to a new line of video slot machines. The machines are being scripted by Top Gun Gaming and manufactured under a licensing agreement with Las Vegas-based Bally Gaming and Systems. The new BETTY BOOP game starts off with images of Betty in her dressing room, asking players to help her pick her next movie role. She points to three posters on the wall that illustrate her choices - Circus Extravaganza, Daredevil Betty or Game Show Sweetheart. The project was directed by Tony Caio and Bryan Cox. "We worked very closely with King Features to make sure Betty looked beautiful," said Caio. "King Features Syndicate has very high standards for its licensed properties." Betty Boop will also be making her TV debut later next year in a new 3D animated series produced by Mainframe.
