DALLAS, July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dave & Buster's, the ultimate destination for fun, food, friends and games, is introducing the first ever Angry Birds Arcade game!

The Angry Birds Arcade game was developed by Innovative Concepts in Entertainment and Play Mechanix Inc., based on the original series of mobile games from Rovio. Beginning today, Dave & Buster's locations nationwide will be the only places to play this exclusive arcade version of Angry Birds, the most downloaded mobile game of all time. The innovative game puts the user in a first-person view, "behind the slingshot", where they launch the Angry Birds at their archenemies, the Bad Piggies.

"Angry Birds is the most downloaded paid mobile application of all time, and we are elated to enhance the experience in the form of an arcade game for our guests," said Kevin Bachus, senior vice president, entertainment and games strategy at Dave & Buster's. "The Angry Birds arcade game at Dave & Buster's not only makes you feel like you're inside the app, but it also gives players the ability to win tickets for prizes in our Winner's Circle."

The game uses special mechanical and video construction to give users the physical thrill of propelling an actual Angry Bird. The new user experience combined with the familiar design makes for a game that will test the skills of dedicated Angry Birds fans and introduce the game to new players. One can win tickets based on the number of pigs they eliminate and the number of shots taken. Eliminating all four pigs in one shot earns a generous bonus. Tickets can then be redeemed for prizes in the Winner's Circle at Dave & Buster's.
