CTelebrate May’s Holiday Weekends
his year marks the 30th anniversary of the Star WarsTM phenomenon—yes, it has been thirty years since the first Star Wars film was released—and what better way to celebrate that event than the release of the third in a growing series of Star Wars video slots, one of the most popular penny
slot themes on the casino floor today. You can preview the thrilling new Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back video slot starting on page 16 and play it in casinos this month. And look for the fourth (yes, there are more on the way) in the series, Star Wars: Rebel Assault later this summer.
