Slot and system manufacturer Aristocrat Technologies has revealed the products it will display at February’s ICE Totally Gaming trade show in London. Aristocrat will occupy stand S2-250.
The company announced it will launch more than 60 new games for the Europe, Middle East and Asia markets, the majority hosted on its innovative Helix cabinet. “Coinciding with the introduction of this supreme machine, Aristocrat is making a step change in the game content it provides,” said Donal Maguire, Aristocrat’s sales and marketing director for Europe.
The successful “E Series” of games (for “entertainment) will be leveraged to launch the “J Series” jackpot games and “C-Series” core games. “All three families will feature an array of innovative concepts whose massive player appeal will become very quickly evident to visitors to our stand at ICE,” said Maguire.
“Max Stacks was a powerhouse game mechanic behind much of the E Series success in 2014, starting with the Sky Rider and Temple of the Tiger game families and compounded by later models Moon Maidens and Pearl Warriors, incorporating Double-Up and Triple-Up features. The next chapter in the story, Flowers of Babylon, takes this theme to the next level with addition of a three-level stand-alone jackpot over base games Heart of Iris and Lily of the Nile.”
Aristocrat also will launch two new titles under the Diamond Dynasty theme, Heart of Eternity and Star of the East, with 3 Emperors continuing the theme with a triple stand-alone progressive jackpot overhead.
The E Series Mega Symbol range also gets a boost with the introduction of two new families, the first to be released being The Goddess Sisters incorporating Queen Coral and Viper Princess. Extending this concept further, the Sacred Guardians family pushes the limits one more step with the addition of a four-level standalone progressive jackpot.
Aristocrat’s J-Series has just started hitting gaming floors in Europe, with Jackpot Streak games Garden of Amazon and Sparkling Royal, and Quickfire Jackpots titles Electric Boogaloo and Golden Peach showing very promising early signs of popularity with players.
Quickfire Jackpots will launch two new games at ICE, Panda Paradise and Pharaoh’s Ransom, alongside the introduction of a new four-level jackpot concept, Gold Pays, featuring two variants in Golden Festival and Golden Princess, and the four-level jackpot game Pure Gold featuring Twin Spins.
Underlining the substantial transformation of Aristocrat’s core games segment, a further four C-Series families will be unveiled on the ExCeL show floor, including Super Feature games Fortunes of Atlantis and Sunset King, Super Wheel Blast games Lion of Venice and Miss Liberty, Extra Bonus Wilds games Birds of Pay and Wild Lepre’Coins, and the configurable stand-alone progressive games Wild Inferno and Wild Wings.
“The combined effect of Aristocrat’s 2015 portfolio of E Series, J-Series and C-Series games is simply awesome,” said Maguire, “and a ‘must have’ for any operator looking to grow their gaming revenue over the next 12 months.
“Add to this the ‘Helix factor’ and a slew of new, jaw-dropping gaming operations centerpieces—of which more will be revealed in the final weeks before the show—and what we have here really does go beyond the next level; it will take players and operators into a completely new dimension.”
