Ellen DeGeneres
It’s been an interesting few years for US TV host and now slot game star Ellen DeGeneres (and all of us, to be fair). In April 2020, stories came out that crew members on her eponymous hit show were unhappy about their treatment during the Covid-19 pandemic. Workers on The Ellen DeGeneres Show reported a toxic environment on set and Ellen made a televised apology over the controversy.
More than a year later, in May 2021, the presenter announced her show was coming to an end, but all’s not lost as she is set to benefit hugely in royalties from her International Game Technology (IGT) slots. IGT was so confident that Ellen’s slots would be a hit it made three: The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring Twelve Days of Giveaways, The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring Ellen’s Dance Party and Ellen’s Know or Go.
