Okay so I saw this a few weeks ago and I'm sure it's already been posted elsewhere, but I thought it was too funny to pass up. :P-B
Bon Jovi slot machine comes to Japan
By Hoyt April 13th, 2009
A recent pachislo release by Kitac features well known 1980’s hair metal band Bon Jovi and their formerly poodle tressed Arena football team owning lead singer Jon Bon Jovi. Celebrity tie-ins for pachinko machines are nothing new, and they’ve become ubiquitous for US slot machines as well. It’s actually getting hard to find a slot machine in Las Vegas that *isn’t* themed with something or someone. The Bon Jovi pachislo machine amused us for several reasons: for one thing, notice that the band isn’t actually pictured anywhere on the machine. You’ve got a silhouette of them on the glass, and a cartoon caricature of them in the logo but they’re not exactly integrated in the theme.
We tried to find some game play video but since it is such a recent release came up empty. We did head to the Kitac website, and found that they had set up a dedicated site to plug the game at 'bonjovi777.com' which breathlessly exclaims that the machine will usher in a ‘new page in Japanese slots’.
