The growing emphasis on skill-based slot machines that are more appealing to the millennial demographic has seen Scientific Games awarded a Best Slot accolade for its Space Invaders game at the 2016 Gaming and Technology Awards.
The company was also honoured for its Prizm game table, a pioneering social gaming table in an industry-first slot cabinet featuring a 65-inch 4K display that serves as both the player interface and as a table, with seating for four.
The product includes Lightning Launch Roulette, a new twist in which players launch their ball into the wheel to determine base game winnings. Optional bonus chip wagers add a community, anticipatory element, offering players the chance to win exciting prizes and jackpots based on both the result of their ball’s spin as well as those of the other three players.
The Awards are sponsored by the Global Gaming Business Magazine and judged by an accomplished panel of independent industry experts.
Derik Mooberry, SG’s group CEO for gaming, paid tribute to the company’s development teams for their innovative and creative thinking which led to the development of the award winning games, revealing that the products have been designed with the millennial demographic front-of-mind
