AGS, the global gaming supplier, teamed up with Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Southern California to host a two-day launch celebration for its newest slot family, Ultra Werewolf
.
The event kicked off on Wednesday, March 4, with special guests Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, reprising their iconic roles as Jay and Silent Bob from the 90s cult classics Clerks, Mallrats, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Smith and Mewes were the first to experience the game and shared their impressions during a live recording of their SMPodcast, “Jay & Silent Bob Do Yaamava’.”
The fang-tastic festivities continued the following day with an unveiling celebration attended by Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and AGS representatives, culminating in an exciting slot pull for Club Serrano Members.
Guests were immersed in a comic book–inspired world, featuring a life-sized Werewolf, two werewolf “hunters” from the game, interactive photo opportunities, and custom werewolf-themed slot chair covers. The VIP reception offered themed mocktails, wolf-ear headbands, and free spins on Ultra Werewolf Fury
and Ultra Werewolf Strike
. Four lucky participants who played the Ultra Werewolf games were entered into a draw for $1,000 in Free Play, with one lucky winner receiving $5,000 in Free Play.
Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots at AGS, said:
“Yaamava’ Resort & Casino is the perfect venue to celebrate the dedication and partnership that goes into a world premiere of a slot game. The Ultra Werewolf brand extension builds on the thrilling storyline of the original Werewolf
, one of AGS’ most successful premium games. The new franchise takes it further with a unique comic book theme, more bonus features, and all-around excitement. Our collaboration with Yaamava’ and shared focus on delivering innovative, unforgettable player experiences made this the ultimate way to ‘Catch the Wolf.’”
Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, added:
“Ultra Werewolf represents the kind of creative, high-impact game design that elevates the entire industry. Yaamava’ is dedicated to leading the market in entertainment innovation, and we’re proud to host the launch of AGS’ latest breakthrough.”
