Image: Claro Netflix is no longer limited to the world of streaming. After entering the gaming world, opening a themed restaurant allowed the company to build unique relationships with casinos and the gaming industry, doing something that had never been done before. The result of the collaboration is a new slot machine that comes with one of the most popular sites on the platform: the South Korean “Round 6” slot called “Squid Game”.This product and brand licensing deal is the first sign of Netflix's foray into entirely new territory. The company behind the “Round 6” machines, Light & Wonder, is known for its expertise in the gaming industry. These machines transport players through an incredible world of killing challenges, reminiscent of the original series.
The “Round 6” slot, which is expected to launch in casinos in 2024, will pay between $200,000 and $400,000. Light & Wonder's machines are true technological marvels, featuring a 75-inch vertically curved screen with 600,000 individual micro-LED pixels. Furthermore, the 27-inch touch screen is equipped with induction mobile phone charging and action buttons for playing games, making it easier for players to play the game.
Netflix not only entered the casino, but also released the trailer for a reality show based on the South Korean drama. The reality show is expected to raise US$4.56 million ($22.47 million) from the pool of 456 contestants.
It is important to note that unlike “Round 6”, participants must also compete for a cash prize. However, the difference is that, in reality, betting is sometimes slow and bloody. According to Netflix, “the worst thing that can happen is going home empty-handed.”
According to sources, the reality show will have a total of 10 episodes, with one episode inspired by the original series being released. Participants face a series of physical and mental challenges, creating an exciting atmosphere full of twists and turns.
Meanwhile, for the drama itself, the second season of the Netflix series has been reviewed for the first time in a long time. It was repeated 10 times, but it was only in the 20th century that it began to work again.
This critical engagement reveals how the relationship between Netflix, “Round 6” and the casino industry is shaped by competition and competition. As the slot machine's release date approaches, it's likely that casino enthusiasts and fans will be able to enjoy this fusion of entertainment.
However, the news is not likely to reach here, as Brazil is the only country in the world that legalizes online casinos and currently allows gambling in physical establishments here, but implementation is expected to continue.
