Juicy Jackpot Slots for Sky
Pushbutton worked closely with Sky to create a fun slots game which is now live as part of the Sky Vegas Interactive service.
Available 24/7 on the BSkyB digital satellite platform, the new game allows users to stake from as little as 20 pence per spin for the chance to win a substantial progressive jackpot prize, as well as a range of payouts based on the traditional single-line fruit machine format.
For players who want to continue to watch television while they play Juicy Jackpot the game offers a picture-in-picture mode. The rich feature set and vibrant animated UI, presented particular technical challenges for the development team at Pushbutton.
James Cumberbatch, Pushbutton’s Development Director, commented “Our team worked closely with designers and technical staff at Sky over a long period to achieve this great-looking result. We’ve managed to squeeze what are effectively two games – one full-screen and one picture-in-picture, into the bandwidth often allocated for just one.”
Pushbutton Managing Director, Paula Byrne, added “We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved with the Juicy Jackpot 2 service, and we’re excited to be working on more of these games with Sky through 2008 and beyond.”
Last year Pushbutton helped Sky to launch an interactive TV Guide and reminders service targetted at users without PVR set-top boxes.
