Dimensional Brand Group (DBG), a leading boutique licensing agency, has brokered a licensing deal with Everi Holdings Inc. (Everi), a premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, to bring the iconic Skee-Ball and Pop-A-Shot brands to casino floors. Both brands will be featured in a new three-reel mechanical slot machine, set to debut at the 2024 Global Gaming Expo in October at Everi’s booth #1150.

“The collaboration with Everi has been a great opportunity to bring two classic arcade brands to casinos,” said Claire Westlund, Licensing Manager at DBG. “Everi has done a great job of staying true to both the Pop-A-Shot and Skee-Ball brands while leveraging their expertise to adapt these games into the slot machine format. We’re eager for players to experience these arcade classics on the casino floor.”

The Pop-A-Shot cabinet features a digital miniaturized basketball hoop that simulates the original basketball shooting arcade game, while Skee-Ball has players virtually slinging balls toward the familiar Skee-Ball playfield, all with a chance to win credit prizes and jackpots. Both game themes feature eye-catching artwork paired with interactive top-screen bonuses and classic 80s audio to provide players with a nostalgic arcade experience.

Pop-A-Shot and Skee-Ball will be presented on Everi’s Player Classic Signature™ cabinet with features that include an overhead display with retro-style light bulbs delivering an entertaining gaming experience with a familiar nostalgic twist. Pop-A-Shot and Skee-Ball are scheduled for release in early 2025.
