Playtech Gives Top Trumps Slot a Makeover

Online gaming software giant Playtech has given its classic Top Trumps slot a makeover, and we wonder whether that's a coincidence when business mogul Donald Trump is embarking on his own makeover as he mulls a bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

Top Trumps Makeover

This popular card game has been given a full makeover by Playtech, turning into a modern, hi-tech online video slot game. Traditionally played with a set of special cards featuring famous faces from the world of entertainment, this new 5-reel slot game includes such celebs as Elvis Presley (as the wild), Madonna, James Dean, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

Although this new game will be a permanent fixture at Playtech online casinos, it follows the previous limited edition version of Top Trumps, which operated during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and which featured top football faces from around the globe.

Donald Trump for President?

Meanwhile, it seems that news of Donald Trump's nomination bid is no joke, although it has some in the GOP very concerned. Admittedly we are as clueless as everybody else as to whether he really will run or whether this is just shameless self-promotion, and it's way too early to start commenting on who the best option for the 2012 presidential election is.

However, it is worth noting that the business giant's Trump Entertainment Resorts operates numerous casinos and hotels around the world, so it's highly likely he will be more supportive of the US gambling industry than most of his Republican counterparts.
