Under the theme, “It’s all about what’s inside,” Aristocrat Technologies display its leading gaming content and innovative hardware solutions at ICE 2018 in London, and also reveal a new portfolio for Europe, Middle East and African markets on stand S3-250.
Aristocrat Managing Director—EMEA James Boje said, “Aristocrat’s premium offering and clear, simple messaging for 2018 has already been acknowledged by visitors to G2E in Las Vegas, where our booth was voted the number one showcase for the fourth year running in an independent survey. Our ongoing drive to deliver the world’s greatest entertainment experience, every day, is centered around three key pillars: the content, the people who create the content and the delivery platform to bring out the best in our games. Having witnessed the huge array of stunning games in Las Vegas and customers’ response to them, we are now excited to bring the very best of them to gaming floors across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
The Flame55 is a sleek, large-format cabinet featuring a 55-inch portrait double-curved screen. Available in standalone and beacon carousels, the launch title Mariah Carey is a single-site progressive entertainment game with high volatility and mechanics adapted from proven Aristocrat titles including Lightning Link, Buffalo Gold and More Chilli. The Flame55 pipeline includes a sequel to the highly successful title Game of Thrones and a new title based on the HBO powerhouse series, Westworld.
In addition, Dragon Link, an Arc Single portrait-screen form factor evolution of Lightning Link will feature player-selectable multi-denomination options. The product already has demonstrated strong performance in Australia and North America, and will debut in Europe with four Asian-themed base games: Autumn Moon, Golden Century, Happy & Prosperous and Panda Magic, with a choice of high-impact LED sign packages.
The licensed brand Ted will join the Mighty Cash Game library led by Zorro, featuring the Lightning Link “Hold & Spin” mechanic. The new multi-licensed Mighty Cash Link will offer existing standalone progressive games plus the complementary base game themes Elvira and Pan-Am. Other Mighty Cash Games will include Crazy Ca$h Big Money, a 4-level linked progressive game on the Helix platform with 55-inch portrait toppers, synchronized to create a giant “Helix Tower” video wall. Base games include Big Money Green and Big Money Gold.
With a firm and growing footprint, major European and South African casinos continue to install the towering dual curved portrait screen Arc Double platform, which in 2018 will feature more premium licensed and proprietary game content. New games will include My Cousin Vinny, one of Aristocrat’s most successful game theme franchises, Tarzan, the Buffalo-inspired Timber Wolf Grand and X-Files, featuring a unique X-shaped reel layout.
Additional licensed releases include the Asian-themed progressive link Gold Stacks 88 Link, and Fast Cash 100, a multi-/single-site multigame progressive link with frequent jackpot prizes, recently optimized to perform across smaller wide-area progressive networks.
“Aristocrat is packing more layers of rich content and features into an expanding portfolio of games, supported by our popular and proven mechanics. We’re delighted to be delivering customers products that perform and we look forward to offering them even more choice and sharing our vision of the future at ICE 2018,” Boje stated.
