Gaming technology company Pariplay has launched an instant-win game based on Atari’s legendary Asteroids arcade title.
The most recent release under the companies’ partnership, the Asteroids game has been developed by Pariplay’s in-house studio in HTML5.
In 2014, Pariplay and Atari partnered to develop a series of real-money gambling titles based on Atari video arcade classics.
Pariplay’s Atari Asteroids is an instant-win game as well as a first-person shooter in which players 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,” said Adrian Bailey, general manager at Pariplay.
“Atari Asteroids effectively balances the skill and entertainment focuses of the original arcade classic with the excitement of real-money i-gaming, so it’s likely to become an important game in operators’ offerings in a range of markets.”
