Singapore, SG - February 10, 2013 - Just in time
for the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake, GamesWarp is
pleased to announce the release of Pachinko Parlor on Facebook,
currently accessible via
https://apps.facebook.com/gwpachinko/.
Pachinko Parlor is an action-casino game that simulates the many
varied and colorful Pachinko mechanical machines found widespread
in Japan. A favorite recreational gaming pastime of the Japanese,
this pinball-like game reliant on gravity and a dash of luck has
been successfully translated to the Facebook platform in Pachinko
Parlor. There is also the anticipated addition of modern day
Jackpot game elements, triggered by balls falling into the bonus
traps found in each hand-crafted machine. This is a feature that
will be sure to please players who love pinball and jackpot
action.
The player starts off by selecting a machine to play from the
Lobby and will be issued a starting bonus of GamesWarp (GW) Coins
and Pachinko Balls. Once at a machine, he can start shooting balls
by adjusting the power knob to control the power of each shot.
Balls will keep coming out at a constant rate, and it will be up to
the player to adjust the power knob to hopefully guide the Pachinko
balls into the 5 bonus traps found in each machine. The Jackpot
starts spinning whenever a ball enters a bonus trap, and it is this
way that the player can win even more GW Coins.
Pachinko Parlor may have launched with eight fun machines, but
GamesWarp will be adding many more machines over the life of the
game. Already slated for release is Machine #9: Nine Candles on
February 11, 2013, and Machine #10: Avian Wonder some time later
this week. Subsequent updates concerning new machines and features
will be put up at
https://www.facebook.com/PachinkoParlorCommunity.
The "press release kit" is also available as a series of
screenshots for download or sharing at the Community Page on
Facebook.
Pachinko Parlor is currently available on Facebook, with new
features planned to be released later sometime in the 1st QTR of
2013. The game is also planned for other platforms at a later date
in 2013.
