Las Vegas-based manufacturer Competition Interactive will display a variety of skill-based gaming offerings in Booth 5229 at the Global Gaming Expo, October 9-11 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.
The gaming manufacturer and distributor is showcasing its expanded portfolio of skill-based games and slot machines with innovative bonus games, which the company says are “far different than any others in the casino industry.”
The company’s premier game is Running Rich Racing, recently certified by BMM Testlabs after a six-month beta test at three Las Vegas casinos.
“The Competition Interactive team is excited to debut the reimagined Running Rich Racing, a multi-player kart-racing experience where players battle for cash on different racetracks based on modern spins of classic fairytales,” the company said in a statement. “The skill/chance hybrid game is now even more intuitive and fun to play and win, after the team listened to player feedback during the (test) period, and incorporated recommendations to further enhance the player experience.
“The game’s innovative driving cabinet design features an attachable rear kiosk that houses the BMM-certified game Running Rich REELS. An adaptation of the successful Running Rich Racing, REELS players spin a five-by-three reel array matching power up symbols, characters and cars with exciting bonus games including a never before seen drag race.”
The company’s newest products include the Star Striker series of games. Star Striker NEON is a fast-paced, single-player, space shoot-em-up set deep in space. Players wager on various levels in four different stages, battling enemy alien ships and clearing a level for a Payday bonus. Through the use of wagered power ups, like multi-shot and shield, the player fights through to The Boss for the ultimate payday.
Set in the same, universe, Star Striker RACING is the future of casino/arcade multi-player racing games. Players complete in one lap around Titan in the year 2040, racing against all vehicles and other casino players as they hit boost pads, avoid obstacles and collect Boost Orbs for added speed and added payback multipliers.
“This industry began here on the desert sands of Las Vegas and then became successful all over the world due to constantly creating new and memorable entertainment experiences,” said Paul Steelman, CEO of Competition Interactive. “I founded Competition Interactive to create new casino games that will revolutionize the casino floor by creating environments for skill-based games where competition is not only between the player and the house.”
“We are bringing the arcade to the gaming floor,” said Keith Winters, chief creative executive at Competition Interactive. “Every time you enter these distinctive spaces and start playing Running Rich Racing and the Star Striker games, it will be a new and unique experience that players and spectators can enjoy. Players can win these races based on skill and they can win based on chance, which allows anyone to be able to play and win.”
