This week, PariPlay announced the release of its latest game, Asteroids. It is an instant-win online casino game that offers players the chance to win fantastic prizes by shooting down – you guessed it – asteroids. The title is making quite a bit of buzz in the online gaming market, so Slots Temple is here to give you the scoop on what this title is all about.
What is Asteroids?
If you grew up in the 80s – or you’re very into retro gaming – you’ll know that Asteroids is one of Atari’s most popular titles. It is a shooter game where players attack asteroids as they fly past and earn points for every one that is shot down.
PariPlay is the only gaming developer that has the rights to use Atari games as the basis for their slots and instant-win titles.
They are a key part of the company’s online casino gaming strategy, attracting players of all ages and with diverse gaming tastes: "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®,” says General Manager Adrian Bailey.
“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”.
How Does It Work?
PariPlay’s Asteroids instant-win game is a 3D remake of the original game. When you hit the Play button (for between $1 and $10 per round), the cannons pop out from the side of your ship, and you must shoot down the asteroids that fly past to reveal gems of different shapes and colours. When three or more matching gems are revealed, you win a prize! So, it is more of a skill-based slots game.
However, players don’t have to worry about missing the asteroids or aiming for certain ones for bigger prizes. The outcome is randomly determined and based entirely on luck, so there is no need to feel discouraged if you lose a round.
More Asteroids Slots to Come Soon
PariPlay will also be releasing a more traditional slots game based on Asteroids. The game will be a 720 Ways to Win online slots game that features expanding wilds, free spins and sticky wilds. There is no word yet on when this game will be released – but you can play the instant win game in the meantime!
We’re pretty excited about the launch of PariPlay’s new Asteroids slot. If its existing Atari slots (Star Raiders and Black Widow) anything to judge by, players are going to be in for a real treat and a great gaming experience.
