Warner Bros. is diving into social casino games. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is announcing Extra Slots Stars, a free-to-play mobile game based on the popular TV show. It will use the voice and likeness of Extra host Mario Lopez.

Social casino games aren’t as red hot as they once were, but the category is still a big market, with $951 million in revenues in the second quarter, up 15.7 percent from a year earlier, according to market analyst firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. Warner is late to the party, but it has a Hollywood advantage.
