Sunday 17th of January 2016

Aristocrat Technologies will be revealing a diverse range of linked jackpot progressives and new standalone games making debut appearances at ‘The Big Play’ at ICE 2016.

Lightning Link, the first player-selectable multi-denomination link progressive based on Aristocrat’s formidable J*Series games segment is among the new linked jackpot progressives on display. “Good Fortune™ is another proven link game, whose strong Asian theming and powerful core maths have helped to make it the number one performing progressive in Macau,” explained Erik Jan van den Berg, Sales Director - EMEA.

Making its first appearance in EMEA at ICE, Aristocrat’s new Arc Single is a natural extension to its broader cabinet portfolio, offering new-style gaming on a curved 42-inch HD portrait screen.

“Arc can also be complemented with a range of illuminated branded wedges to create feature banks in straight and round carousel formations, creating a substantial floor presence and a player destination,” said Iain London, Product & Business Development Director - EMEA.

New titles coming to Arc Single in EMEA include Wonder 4 Tower, a number of ‘Gold’ extensions to C*Series core titles such as Wild Panda, 5 Dragons and Miss Kitty; new J*Series jackpot themes Diamond Storm and Sugar Hit Jackpots and new extensions of proven E*Series games, such as Sky Rider 2 and Moon Maidens II.

Further expanding its library of standalone games for the popular Helix cabinet in EMEA, Aristocrat is using ICE to introduce a number of new games in each of its four principal categories.

New C*Series games, the majority of which now incorporate standalone progressive jackpots, include: Jet Strike, Weird Wicked & Wild, Fortune’s Way, ‘Collect & Go Wild’ games such as Wild Inferno and Wild Wings; and Hong Kong Fortunes.

Aristocrat’s J*Series segment will also be further bolstered by the addition a new Xtra Ways family, whilst the successful Jackpot Streak family welcomes two more unique base themes.

The E*Series entertainment segment continues its expansion with a broad range of new families. Including the Sacred Guardians and Sweet Skulls family releases. Another highly anticipated development stemming from the E*Series segment, Gold Star Multi-game launches to market at ICE offering highly configurable options across Sky Rider, Magic Flower and Moon Maidens games.

Aristocrat’s new M*Series™ segment incorporates both traditional multi-game packages and multi reel set play. “A new Wonder 4 Jackpots extension will be revealed on the ICE stand, alongside new core game packs in the Player’s Choice series,” Mr. London said.

Concluding on the Big Play lineup for ICE, Mr van den Berg stated, “Aristocrat has continued to invest heavily in design and development of new gaming concepts over the last 12-18 months, right across each and every segment. This has resulted in what will be the most comprehensively rich collection of Class III games and cabinets available anywhere on the ExCeL show floor. We look forward to sharing the fruits of those labours with operators, helping them to make the big play, creating experiences for their players that are exciting, engaging and that build loyalty throughout 2016 and beyond.”
