HIGHLAND, CA – Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel partnered with AGS to host the two-day world premiere of the Ultra Werewolf™ slot family.
Yaamava’ Resort & Casino hosted Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes as their well-known characters Jay and Silent Bob from the 90s cult-classic movies Clerks, Mallrats, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Smith and Mewes were the first customers to play the game, and then spoke about their experience in a live recording of their SMPodcast – “Jay & Silent Bob Do Yaamava’.”
The celebration continued the following day as representatives of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and AGS were part of the unveiling celebration followed by a slot pull for Club Serrano members.
The event featured themed elements tied to the game’s comic-book aesthetic, including costumed characters representing the werewolf and hunters from the game, interactive photo opportunities, and themed slot chair covers. A VIP reception for Club Serrano members included themed mocktails, promotional items, and free spins on Ultra Werewolf Fury™ and Ultra Werewolf Strike™. Guests who played one of the Ultra Werewolf games were entered into drawings for free play, with four winners receiving $1,000 and one guest awarded $5,000 in free play.
“Ultra Werewolf represents the kind of creative, high‑impact game design that elevates the entire industry,” said Kenji Hall, GM of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino. “Yaamava’ is dedicated to leading the market in entertainment innovation, and we’re pleased to be the launch location for AGS’ latest breakthrough.”
“Yaamava’ Resort & Casino is the perfect venue to celebrate the dedication and partnership that goes into a world premiere of a slot game,” said Mark DeDeaux, SVP and GM, Slots at AGS. “The Ultra Werewolf brand extension builds on the thrilling story line of the original Werewolf™, one of AGS’ most successful premium games. The new franchise takes it even further with its unique comic book theme, more bonus features and all-around excitement. Our relationship with the team at Yaamava’ and a shared focus on delivering innovative, unforgettable player experiences, made this the ultimate way to ‘Catch the Wolf.’”
Ultra Werewolf drawings will continue on March 22, with four Club Serrano players scheduled to win $1,000 in free play and one player set to receive $5,000 in free play along with a limited-edition Justice League comic collector card made of silver.
The Ultra Werewolf slot titles will be available exclusively at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino for a limited time before expanding to additional casinos across the country.
