You probably think you live in the greatest Hi-Tech age of all time, what with the smartphones and cars that can find any address in the world.
But really, do you think it beats taking a shower as a Wooly Mammoth sprays water on you–from its trunk–or having a Dictaphone that’s pretty much just a really smart talking bird?
How about disc brakes? Why, when you can just use your feet? Commercial air travel? You haven’t lived until you’ve flown on a giant pterodactyl (complete with flight attendants).
Now that tech–Stone Age Tech.
We, of course, are talking about life in that crazy town of Bedrock with the lovable Flintstones clan, which will now be a regular on Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s casino floor thanks to a new slot machine from WMS Games.
Details for The B-52s by Aristocrat with rules, bonus features, screenshots, videos, pay tables and find casinos where you can play this slot. Released 1992: The Amiga 600, also known as the A600 (codenamed “June Bug” after a B-52s song), is a home computer that was introduced at the CeBIT show in March 1992. The A600 is Commodore International’s final model based on the ECS chipset. The companies that make casino slot machines sure seem to think that there’s something to this idea, as there are a lot of games out there that use wolves as a key part of their theme. This isn’t really that surprising though: any game with a natural theme will want some animals in the mix, and the wolf is powerful, mysterious, and yet.
The Flinstones—immortalized in breakfast cereal and vitamins—was the most successful animated prime-time series ever before The Simpsons began its 88-year run. It ran from 1960 to 1966 and then in reruns pretty much until now. Kind of a prehistoric “The Honeymooners,” it gave us the catch phrase Yaba Daba Doo, a 1994 film and a pretty great version of “Bedrock Twitch” from the B-52s.
And now, it’s bringing you jackpots. The sights, sounds, and of course all of your favorite characters from THE FLINTSTONES television series make their debut on the Gamefield xD cabinet in this fresh take on the prehistoric wheel.
Featuring a 42” horizontal screen over a vertical 32” screen with a mechanical wheel, the 5×4 base game of THE FLINTSTONES theme features both a FLINTSTONES and a RUBBLES array. It only takes one character symbol landing on the 5th reel to activate one of the following bonuses.
Watch as Bamm Bamm bangs symbols to turn them WILD in the Bamm Bamm Bonus, as Dino jumps on Fred and licks him for additional credits in the Dino Bonus, and as reels stretch up to 10 symbols high as WILD reels and multipliers are potentially added in THE FLINTSTONES mystery feature. Pick the cutest baby to double your credit prize in the Pebbles beautiful baby contest, or pick bowling balls for credits in the Bedrock bowling feature.
And Borgata gets the slot as a national exclusive. It debuts this week on the casino floor in the slot area near MIXX.
There are some things you can count on with the Flintstones. Fred won’t get the cat to stay out for the night, Wilma will always forgive Fred and nothing in our high-tech world will ever be as cool as mowing the lawn with a chomping baby dinosaur on wheels.
And, oh yeah, it’s yet another cool slot at Borgata.

POST A COMMENT
The BoeingB-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered, strategic bomber operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since 1955. The B-52A first flew in 1954, and the B model entered service in 1955. A total of 744 B-52s were built with the last, a B-52H, delivered in October 1962. It served in the Strategic Air Command, the Air Combat Command, and the B-52H continues to serve in the Air Force Global Strike Command and the Air Force Reserve Command.
The B-52D models have the distinction of being the last bombers in aviation history to have shot down enemy aircraft during wartime with machine guns (tail gunners);[1] two Vietnam War “MiG killer” bombers are currently preserved and on display at Fairchild AFB and the United States Air Force Academy.[2] ([3])
Only the B-52H model is still active in the Air Force inventory. It is primarily assigned to the Air Force Global Strike Command and the Air Force Reserve Command, with one additional example in the Air Force Materiel Command supporting flight research operations with NASA.[4]
