New Pariplay Atari release

Pariplay Ltd’s 2014 licensing agreement with Atari Interactive has brought about another branded release, the “Atari Asteroids” instant-win game.

The partnership has seen the release of a series of real-money gambling titles based on Atari video arcade classics such as the launch of Atari Black Widow earlier this year (see previous reports).

“Atari Asteroids” is the first Atari-branded instant-win game developed by Pariplay’s in-house studio under the partnership. The game is delivered in HTML5 and provides players with an immersive experience which includes first-person shooter functionality and HD graphics.

Paying homage to the classic 1979 space-themed video arcade game, Atari Asteroids invites players to use laser canons to blast passing asteroids and reveal hidden gems. A nine-symbol action scratch game, Asteroids allows players whose asteroid-shooting skills succeed in revealing three identical gems to win jackpots of up to $100,000.

“Our Atari-branded games are a key focus for our development studio, so we’re excited to bring to market a sophisticated, highly interactive instant-win title that’s based on such an iconic arcade game as Asteroids,” Adrian Bailey, General Manager at Pariplay Ltd said.

“Atari Asteroids effectively balances the skill and entertainment focuses of the original arcade classic with the excitement of real-money iGaming, so it’s likely to become an important game in operators’ offerings in a range of markets.”

Pariplay’s in-house development studio is completing the next Atari video slot release for August 2016 titled “Atari Star Raiders”.
