Aristocrat lines up ten new games, enters German arcade market
Aristocrat Technologies Europe will offer nearly 80 games across its Viridian/Gen 7 and Xcite/Mk VI platforms after the launch of a new range in the autumn.
On the way for Viridian cabinets are three Multi Line games - Agent M, Attack of the Monsters, and Kick'n Ass - and three 50 Line products, Harlequin Hearts, Reel Power Flights of Fancy, and Spring Festival. They bring the total Viridian range to 43.
Xcite, meanwhile, gets two Multi Line games - Creature Feature and More Chilli - as well as a pair of 50 Line launches, Roamin' Italy and Reel Power Sky Dancer. With these additions, Aristocrat's Xcite platform will have a total of 35 games available.
The firm says the new games can be configured to suit individual casinos' customer profiles, with a wide range of volatilities and frequency of feature hits.
"Operators need to cater for all player types, from social through casual to experienced gamblers, not to mention appealing to different demographics and attracting new clientele. Providing myriad options for all-comers on the gaming floor has to be the most effective way to maximise returns," said Daniel Lindsay, General Manager - Sales and Marketing at Aristocrat Europe.
Meanwhile, Aristocrat will this year break into the German arcade market by providing games for Bally Wulff's Game Station platform.
"This is a great example of how Aristocrat content can be utilised under contract for deployment into a sector adjacent to Aristocrat's existing casino market. We have worked very closely with the development team at Bally Wulff to ensure that the initial games selected meet the new regulations and offer players an exciting and appealing product," said Lindsay.
From Bally Wulff's perspective, "the unique selling proposition of our game platform for the German street market is the opportunity to integrate games of selected partners", said the German firm's Managing Director Tim Wittenbecher.
"Aristocrat is definitely the best partner that we could have chosen to make our multigame portfolio more attractive. The power of Aristocrat games is well known in the German market."
The German arcade sector is estimated to include 125,000 machines across 8000 sites.
Australian-owned slot and systems company Aristocrat's games are played in more than 90 countries, according to the firm.
