According to the latest pop culture trends, old is the new ‘new’. Pokie developer international Game Technology has picked up on this trend with the release of its new Centipede pokies, based on the classic Atari title of the same name. IGT will premiere the new poker machine at the Canadian Gaming Summit, which takes place from June 17 to June 19 at the Palais Des Congres in Montreal, Canada.
The event offers gaming firms from around the world to showcase their new wares, and IGT is one of many companies that will be showing off its latest developments. Centipede pokies brings back a sense of the 1980s, featuring the kind of 8-bit graphics that you would find on Atari titles. At the moment, only the design and the bonus round have been revealed, and it is quite impressive.
The release of Centipede pokies marks the first time that players are able to use skill in order to increase their bonus prizes. The bonus game is a replica of the original Centipede game; as players earn points, they also earn cash prizes. This concept is key to the new Reel Edge range of games from IGT.
At the moment, Centipede is the only game available in this range but we can expect to see plenty more titles from the Reel Edge brand. At the Canadian Gaming Summit, IGT will also be showcase some of its recently released titles, including new Mega Jackpots pokies.
The new CSI range has become highly popular in casinos around the world, and now IGT will be giving gaming industry professionals in Canada the chance to try out the new and exciting brand. Phantom of the Opera and Dolly Parton pokies will also make an appearance at the IGT booth.
