MONTREAL, CANADA, April 2, 2012 – Interactive entertainment company Ludia and FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) announced today the launch of The Price Is Right Slots game for the Facebook platform. Players, worldwide, can now experience an original and interactive free slot machine game based on the longest-running game show in television history.
“The Price Is Right Slots on Facebook is the first slot machine game for Ludia. It is very exciting to tap into this growing market with such a strong and popular brand like The Price Is Right” said Alex Thabet, Founder and CEO of Ludia Inc. “The Price Is Right Slots Facebook game is a well-designed, free and simple to use game, making it accessible to a wide audience and very fun to play.”
“The Price is Right Slots on Facebook brings an entirely fresh and original experience to players by capturing the beloved essence of the show in a completely innovative way,” added Nicholas Dale, Senior Manager of Interactive and Mobile for licensor FremantleMedia Enterprises. “Ludia has crafted a visually stunning and compelling game that holds a broad appeal beyond the shows’ existing fan base.”
Players start off a game in the lobby, which introduces the unique slot machines based on the famous and popular pricing games such as Cliff Hangers, Plinko, 3 Strikes, and more. The first unlocked machine is the Cliff Hangers’, which features familiar elements from the game such as goats, flowers, mountains, and the classic yodeling mountain climber. Players then proceed to spin, spin, spin and collect chips as the game goes on, hoping to eventually spin the Big Wheel to multiply rewards or win the Jackpot! Players can also win special tokens that lead them to Contestant’s Row or pricing games designed after the slot machine’s theme for bonus rewards.
