Forrest Gump Coming To Crypto Casinos

Life will be a lot closer to a box of chocolates with the new Forrest Gump online slot machine game by Cryptologic. Based on the Academy Award-winning film starring Tom Hanks, the Forrest Gump slot game is the product of a partnership agreement between online casino software company Cryptologic and Paramount Digital Entertainment. Forrest Gump is the heartwarming story of the titular character, who has a “simple” approach to life. The film follows his life from childhood, when he meets his true love Jenny, to his stint in the Vietnam War and his subsequent fame, fortune, and heartbreak. Forrest’s foray into the world of slot machines is one that should prove profitable for everyone involved.

Forrest Gump is the first product of Cryptologic’s new deal with Paramount, which is expected to bring some of the best-loved characters from the famous film studio to the computer screens of slots fans everywhere. Teen delinquent Ferris Bueller is next on the list, along with Beowulf. With Cryptologic standing to potentially lose the Marvel superheroes line to Playtech, the Paramount deal could really stand to become important to the company. Industry experts say that the Paramount slots could be “really important” in the face of constantly shifting slot game competition.

Cryptologic Vice President Justin Thouin commented that the company was “building excellent momentum with a long and growing list of major entertainment brands as [their] partners and customers,” a list on which Paramount is currently the biggest name. The Forrest Gump slot game is expected by the fourth quarter of this year.
