Aristocrat Enters Washington Tribal Market

Aristocrat Technologies delivered its first four games to casinos in the state of Washington’s Tribal Lottery System, at the Tulalip Resort and the Quil Ceda Creek Casino.

Slot supplier Aristocrat Technologies has installed its first games in the state of Washington’s central-determinant Tribal Lottery System (TLS), with four games installed at the Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino.

The new games—Birds of Pay, Buffalo Gold Collection, Wild Lepre’Coins and Wild Panda Gold—are the first in a series of slot titles Aristocrat is developing for Washington that will be deployed over the coming year.

The games come to Tulalip and Quil Ceda by means of the Tulalip Tribe of Washington’s sponsoring Aristocrat’s entrance into the TLS market. That sponsorship allowed the company to sell its cabinets and games in the state.

“We are excited for the Tulalip/Aristocrat partnership and what it means to the Washington market,” said Don Hegnes, slots director at Tulalip. “Aristocrat has established solid product performance and will bring a superior library of content for our guests’ enjoyment.”

“Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino are excited to be the first properties to introduce Aristocrat cabinets and games into the Washington market. Since the first install, our guests continue to embrace the product,” said Belinda Hegnes, Quil Ceda Creek Casino slots director.

“We are very excited to bring these new games to Tulalip, Quil Ceda, and Washington state, commented Siobhan Lane, senior vice president marketing and gaming operations for Aristocrat. “We have worked diligently to create new games based on player-favorite titles that fully comply with TLS regulations, and we are grateful to the Tulalip Tribe of Washington for their sponsorship and encouragement throughout this process.

“Our product roadmap is strong and includes many titles from our Core product portfolio that players enjoy. We are committed to the Washington market and are excited to support our customers with a wide range of player- favorite titles.”
