Since its premiere in August 2015, we've been following violent drug wars and bloody cartel showdowns for three seasons and thirty episodes. A fourth season of ten new episodes is currently in production. The series chronicles the true stories of Colombia's notorious drug cartels, with Pablo Escobar at the helm – the cocaine kingpin who became a billionaire on his production and distribution.

An agreement between the New Zealand game manufacturer NetEnt and the series ' production company Gaumont, has made it all possible. However, we will have to wait a while for the result, as the release is written for the fall of 2018, but we bet that this treat can be a game caramel worth sucking on.

Perhaps the slot is also mixed up with authentic images from the series. A number of special features and bonus modes will hopefully also be hidden treasures, ready to be unearthed.
