SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zynga (Nasdaq: ZNGA ), the world's leading provider of social game services, today launches new Hit It Rich! slots themes featuring favorite entertainment icons .   An online social casino game based on high-quality slots mechanics that provide a free and lifelike casino experience,  Hit It Rich!  is available now for players worldwide on Facebook at http://zynga.com/game/slots and coming soon for mobile.

Hit It Rich! offers new ways to play with games themed on favorite entertainment icons.

Coming soon,  Hit It Rich!  will feature America's favorite downhome duck-calling family from A&E Network's ' Duck Dynasty' . And, in early November, players will embark on a stiletto-filled, fabulous adventure with Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte (and of course Mr. Big!) in the exclusive new ' Sex and the City' themed game.

"I'm so excited to hook up with Zynga! Now my fans can get lucky with me in my new  Hit It Rich! slots game," said Elvira. "Together we can share our favorite jack-pot moment or just kick back and watch my sexy self spin across the screen."
