ICE – Aruze to show blend of slots and pachinko at ICE
By Phil - 21 January 2020
Aruze’s Pachincoin Jackpot Circus will be taking centre stage at ICE London 2020.
This unique concept leverages Aruze’s history with the Japanese pachinko market to create a totally new style of game. Players do not need to be familiar with pachinko at all as the interface and game play are intuitive, and bet structures borrow from traditional slot play. Based on the bet and denomination selected, Pachincoin Jackpot Circus utilises multiple coins that waterfall down the playing field with multiple prize pockets. Players can release many coins quickly, creating a riot of activity on the game screen.
Several machines will feature configurations ideal for various Latin American markets. Also being shown is a selection of Limited Payout Machine titles intended for the South African market. Aruze Gaming’s focus on the European market is also reflected, with machine installations recently taking place in Greece, France, Switzerland, Cyprus, Portugal, Germany and Slovenia.
A standout performer has been Wheel of Prosperity, now expanded to four titles. This series offers a strong base game, exciting wheel feature, and a free games series that varies by title. Wheel of Prosperity Serpent, one of the two new titles in this series, offers a free games feature where the Wheel awards a number of wilds that explode across the reels with every spin. Wheel of Prosperity Tiger offers players their choice of three reel configurations for their free games, up to 5 x 5 symbols for a thrilling 3125 ways game.
