Will there ever be a Mario themed pokie?

In recent years the gambling sector has boomed more than just about any other. Enhanced products, more competitive odds, and the ability to seamlessly bet from home means the industry now enjoys excellent versatility.
Coming hand in hand with this gambling revolution, pokies are now the most
popular casino game to play, overtaking more traditional table games such as
roulette and blackjack. The ability to win large amounts of money from just a
small stake is a huge factor in why pokies are so successful, but it is the vast
variety in pokie games that most helps create their mass appeal.
Independent online pokies portal
Pokies Palace suggests there are more than one hundred thousand people in
Australia alone playing pokies every day.
Players logging into their favourite casino sites are instantly treated to a
wide selection of games, ranging from battle war pokies, to fast action puppy
pokies.
Nintendo has done particularly well in the pokies market, with well known titles
such as Street Fighter 2, Tomb Raider, and Sensible Soccer, making their way
onto online gaming sites.
When looking through the list of successful Nintendo Pokie adaptations, a
startling omission does become apparent however. There has been no attempt from
any games developer to make a Super Mario themed pokie.
Super Mario is
statistically the most popular video game character of all time, appearing
in over 200 games, selling 400 million units in the process.
There are many reasons as to why a Super Mario pokie could follow in the
footsteps of the games success.
Mario’s three dimensional plat forming style of play lends itself perfectly to
pokies, which could utilise his all action approach in special features and
bonus rounds. Also Mario’s fan base extends amongst all ages, meaning the legal
gambling age (18+) would not be alienated by the product.
There are no real reasons as to why a Super Mario themed pokie does not
currently exist. As the gambling world continues to evolve it is surely only a
matter of time before games developers capitalise on the
huge success
of the Mario franchise, and create a blockbuster pokie. After-all, it would
probably less surprising than when
Super Mario tried his hand at classical music!

So... what is Super Mario CG? The short story
It's a fan-made short animated series, early in development, with a lot of dedication to bringing back what made the Mario series so good to begin with.
Lately Nintendo has lost sight of what made the series so inventive and
inspired, that's what I plan to bring back. Mario games have had a big impact on
my life, so much more so than any other series, let alone anything else really.
I cherish this franchise, it was my childhood as much as it was yours.. but with
the lack inventiveness in the more recent Mario titles on Wii U, I felt
obligated to return to my nostalgia vault, and sort through and find out what
made it so great, and what could make it that much better. This is Super Mario
CG.
Like the sound of this project? the longer story is below!
If it's any consolation.. to me, don't be put off by what seems to be my
young age.. well, I mean you could say I'm young. Seventeen; High school, I
assure you I am a deep and thoughtful person.. despite what I've made myself out
to be on the internet.
Well, it all started with a life story, but instead I'll just show you my early
progress to present day early progress. (I'll try and squeeze in whatever I
can.)
*Insert life story* I wanted to be an animator but found it exceedingly
difficult, I order to begin I'd need some source material to start out with.
After a few years of digging through the internet I found a program that would
allow me to extract game models from various Mario games and Import them into my
3D animating studio.
What I called, step zero.
Of course, I had a basic knowledge of programming and animating, but I could not
use their bone meshes from the games to animate them here, so, I have to do it
all manually.
