Bar X 5 slot machine for Sky Vegas
Release date: 18th August 2008
Pushbutton has collaborated with Sky Vegas to launch a new slot machine for its popular interactive TV-based gaming service.
Bar X 5 is a classic, retro style three-reel slot machine with nudge and hold features, based on an original Electrocoin design. Sky viewers can play Bar X 5 using the remote controller, either for fun or for real money via a credit card subscription.
The game was designed by Sky and built in record time by Pushbutton’s development team. Bar X 5 successfully negotiated the exacting testing and compliance procedures for the launch of a new slot machine on satellite TV – passing with flying colours and going live two weeks early.
Pushbutton Managing Director, Paula Byrne, said, “Sky Vegas is a very important client, and I am delighted to see the Bar X 5 project complete so efficiently. Following the successful launch of Juicy Jackpot earlier this year for Sky, this proves once again that when it comes to delivering complex, transactional services on satellite TV or IPTV, Pushbutton delivers on time and on budget.”
