Soulcalibur II Casino Skill Game from GameCo

We take an up-close look at the amazing Soulcalibur II Casino Skill Game from our friends at GameCo! Players compete through 6 stages of one round fights and place bets each time until they finally get to fight Inferno for free! Bandai Namco Entertainment partnered with GameCo to develop this skill-based gambling machine based on “Soulcalibur II.”

Players may only select Taki or Mitsurugi, and fight against Talim, Raphael, Cervantes, Ivy, Cassandra, and Sophitia. The Soulcalibur II Casino Skill Game features a faster-pace than the classic game but maintains core game play elements. Jackpots are randomly triggered and the game is reasonably volatile.

GameCo says that their Soulcalibur II Casino Skill Game is “…the first AAA game to provide an action-packed experience for casinos. Critically acclaimed SoulCalibur II has sold over 4 million units since its release. Releasing exclusively with Multiplayer functionality on GameCo’s patented multiplayer server.

For Blaine Graboyes, CEO of GameCo, the keyword is fun. His Las Vegas-based company produces video game gaming machines that combine both elements of chance and skill. But when it comes down to marketing the games, skill takes a back seat to fun.

He says casino skill games like Soulcalibur II are fun: “I don’t think players care about the term skill. I think what they’re interested in is the thrill and anticipation of gambling and the fun and interactivity of video games, and that’s what we deliver in our video game gambling products.”

n October, GameCo announced it entered a technical trial of its gaming machines in Nevada casinos. The trial allows the company to install two of its sports-themed games in The LINQ Hotel & Experience, the MGM Grand, and Park MGM in Las Vegas. The trial also includes operating the games at the Atlantis Casino Resort in Reno.

Graboyes said he expects the company will launch additional games in Nevada after the trial concludes. The company also produces video games under such titles as Star Trek, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Mission: Impossible. No word yet on when the Soulcalibur II Casino Skill Game may find it’s way to casino floors.
