Available now, the $2 game depicts the languid cartoon feline in six ticket scenes, several of which include Inspector Clousseau, the bumbling French policeman with the oversized ego. The Pink Panther game features top prizes of $10,000. Ten numbers are concealed under a variety of images including the Pink Panther’s smirk and a sleuthing Clousseau.

The Pink Panther debuted in the opening title sequence of the “The Pink Panther” movie in 1964. In the movie series, the Pink Panther is a valuable diamond with a flaw that resembles a leaping pink panther. The animated cat’s film popularity led to appearances in Oscar-winning theatrical shorts, hundreds of cartoons, and computer and video games.
