Blue Guru Games has continued its series of games based on epic battles from history with the launch of Aussies Vs Emus, which follows on from the studio’s blockbuster hit, Napoleon Vs Rabbits.

Aussies Vs Emus is based around the famous Emus War, also known as the Great Emu War. This was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932.

The aim of the mission was clear – placate public concern over the number of Emus that were running amok and destroying crops in the Champion District within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.

The attempts to curb the population of the Emus saw Royal Australian Artillery soldiers take arms and fire at the pesky Emus with their Lewis guns. But they would turn out to be futile and the mission ultimately unsuccessful.

The media dubbed the operation the Emu War, and while some birds were killed, the Emu population persisted and continued to cause crop chaos and destruction. Shortly after the first attempt, a second cull was commissioned but this proved to be just as successful, or not.

Aussies Vs Emus picks up at the end of this second battle, taking the perspective of the Emus as they look for a third and final victory over the Australian population.

Players join the Emus and are helped in their battle against the Aussies through several bonus features including Free Spins. These are triggered when three or more exploding Mystery Dynamite boxes land on the reels with eight Free Games awarded.

Additional Dynamite Mystery Boxes that explode before Free Games will contribute one extra Free Spin and be added to the Symbol Upgrade meter.

While the Free Spins play out, every three boxes collected removes one low-paying symbol from the Mystery Wheat reveal and increases the global Multiplier by 1x. Every exploded Dynamite Mystery Box during Games adds another Free Spin to the counter.

The global Multiplier is applied to all wins and the instant coin prizes.

There’s also the option to Buy the Bonus with players able to instantly trigger the Free Games feature. All features are played on the selected bet value when the Buy the Bonus is activated with the cost of doing so equivalent to 100x total bet.

Aussies vs Emus is a highly volatile slot set across seven reels and seven rows and uses a cluster pays mechanic with the max win potential of 16,239 x bet.

Kristian Hassall, Marketing and Brand Manager at Blue Guru Games, said: “Aussies Vs Emus is one of the great battles of history and we are allowing players to join the action to see if the birds can claim victory for the third and final time.

“The battle looks set to be ferocious, but we have helped the birds, and players, with some big bonuses including Mystery Dynamite Boxes, Multipliers and Free Spins.

“The theme is where this game truly stands out, and at Blue Guru, we have mastered the art of taking fun stories from the past and combining them with thrilling gameplay to deliver unique slot experiences that players come back to time and time again.”

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
