ICE – Habeanero melting the ICE with Fire Rooster

By Phil - 3 February 2017

Habanero will be celebrating the Chinese New Year by showing its latest HTML5 title, Fire Rooster at this year’s ICE.

The 5×3-reel slot follows the Chinese legend of a rooster losing its crown in a competition with a centipede and a dragon.

Players are encouraged to spin the reels and help the rooster win back what is rightfully his, as well as big prizes along the way.

Fire Rooster features free games and exploding wilds; during free games the Fire Rooster ignites to create adjacent wilds – right or left, up or down – to help players unlock more prizes.
Habanero is confident the game’s low to medium volatility will give it widespread appeal, as will its bold and vibrant graphics and engaging gameplay.

Head of Sales, Daniel Long, said: “Fire Rooster is an explosive game with stunning high definition graphics and an immersive soundtrack. It is a fun theme, and as we expand into new markets, will offer our partners universal appeal.”

Fire Rooster comes hot on the heels of a number of blockbuster titles from Habanero, including Jugglenaut, Fenghuang, Oceans Call, Gangsters, and 12 Zodiacs.

It joins their stable of now over 70 video slots titles, six table games, and 10 video poker titles, which are integrated into over 35 operators and aggregators and available in 20 languages, including, beside English, 12 European and seven Asian ones.

Also on display will be selection of games due to go live later in the year, such as the beautifully serene Koi Gate (due out in February), Bird of Thunder, Dead Escape, and Scruffy Scallywags.
Habanero, which is currently certifying its games for European audiences, already boasts a number of commercially successful slots, such as Ruffled Up, Bombs Away, Fa Cai Shen, and 12 Zodiacs.
Mr. Long added: “We have built a reputation for designing and developing some of the most engaging and immersive games in the industry, and believe we have a lot to offer operators in many different markets.We have gone to great lengths over recent months to make sure our games all meet the highest regulatory requirements, and look forward to showing the scale and scope of our portfolio to delegates at ICE.”

The interface for each of Habanero’s games is very easy to use and the rotation from landscape to portrait works perfectly, even on the smallest device, and always utilises the full real estate of the screen.

Their robust capability and use of the latest mobile technology is now attracting the attention of operators around the world and ensured that the turnover now generated by mobile devices is well above the industry norm.

Habanero’s entire games portfolio of over 70 slots titles, six table games, and 10 video poker titles, will be certified during 2017.
