Featuring the iconic Bullion Bars, Party Time and Win Wall – alongside the exciting new Balloon Prize Pop – Astra Community Party has now been made available to the Cat C market by Inspired, with the industry’s “Home of the Community” ensuring every operator now has the opportunity to capitalise on the growing popularity of community gaming.

Inspired has launched Astra Community Party to the Cat C market, enabling even more operators to reap the rewards of this highly-anticipated industry blockbuster.

Extremely well-received on its debut as B3 during January’s EAG Expo, Astra Community Party unites three of the most iconic titles in British gaming history via its standout Tombola feature: Bullion Bars, Party Time and Win Wall – whilst introducing the exciting new Balloon Prize Pop. 

Together, these fan favourites have entertained players in AGCs and bingo venues for over 70 years, making them instantly recognisable on the gaming floor. 

This ‘walk-up factor’ is further amplified by a dynamic digital backdrop, displayed on three towering screens above an equal number of sleek Prismatic Lo-Boy cabinets. Designed as a quintessential venue centrepiece, Astra Community Party reflects Inspired’s strong investment in the Cat C sector and reinforces its reputation as the industry’s ‘Home of the Community’.

“Operators were asking for a Cat C multiplayer digital product that would allow them to replace multiplayer analogue products which have been reliable workhorses, but have become visually outdated, technically challenging and expensive to keep running,” explained sales director Tony Glanville. “Astra’s Community Party Cat C ticks all the boxes and is set to be a winner with both operators and players.”

And the stats back that up. Over 70 percent of all Cat C games played on Inspired terminals in AGC and Bingo are community games, demonstrating a love of community titles by players who have fully embraced the ‘play together to win together’ philosophy. 

This has no doubt been helped by Inspired’s proven track record in Cat C Community, with its 15 Cat C community games on Fortune Community already performing extremely well in the AGC and bingo market.

 Following its January release to the B3 market, Astra Community Party is shaping up to be just as successful, and Inspired has built in the option to switch the title from Cat C to B3 if required at a later date. 

“The launch of Astra Community Party demonstrates Inspired’s continued commitment to invest in the Cat C market for the AGC and bingo sectors, allowing operators to offer a diverse product mix for their players,” commented VP sales Ian Shreeve. “We have also ensured the Cat C version is future-proofed by making the product upgradeable to B3 if the operator requires at a later date.”  

Inspired has designed Astra Community Party to be flexible and customisable, offering multi-stake options 25p/50p/£1 with operator selectable RTP percentage settings on each stake. This, along with the option of either cash or TiTO payout, allows operators to fine-tune the product for their venue, and Inspired is even offering a range of commercial packages to allow operators to pay as they earn.

“I am delighted that the team at Inspired have produced such a stunning centrepiece for the Cat C market,” concluded key account manager Chris Widdowson. “Astra Community Party empowers operators with a top-performing community game featuring some of the most iconic brands in the market.”
