Aristocrat enjoys international Oasis 360 success
Customers at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, California, now have the advantage of a highly sophisticated compass to point the way to all of the incredible amenities the resort has to offer. The compass is the new nCompass media window platform of slot and systems technology developer Aristocrat Technologies which recently completed a successful four-week field trial of nCompass at Chumash Casino.
“We are absolutely thrilled with the results of our field trial at Chumash Casino Resort. nCompass is empowering Chumash to connect with their player in new ways, and we couldn’t be happier that the operations teams and the customers all love the nCompass product,” said Aristocrat V.P. of Systems Sales and Marketing Kelly Shaw.
nCompass is the next generation hardware platform of the Oasis 360 Sentinel, and is a leap forward in direct customer communication with amazing, advanced media delivery. At a surface level, nCompass utilizes an interactive media window on the main screen of the slot machine that offers dynamic gaming content to the player. Under the surface, nCompass is a technologically advanced engine that includes expansion capabilities, greater processing power and greater storage capability for multi-media content.
nCompass empowers a casino to deliver video or animated content, provides state-of-the-art touch-screen interactivity and displays player points earned in a day (or points earned based on tier ranking). nCompass even enables the casino to target marketing messages to specific players on individual gaming machines.
nCompass has been installed on 34 Aristocrat games at the casino. Now with the power of nCompass, Chumash is able to directly reach its customers with messaging on the resort’s full line of amenities including the hotel, casino, showroom, spa and three restaurants.
Speaking for Chumash, Mike Hackett, Executive Director of Slots, said, “Our customer reaction has been very positive. Because nCompass displays directly on the screen like a picture-in-picture, our players can quickly and easily see their points earned and the many things we have to offer where they can reap their rewards. nCompass is also very easy for the player to turn on and off, so they can keep their focus where they choose.”
Alex Goodnature, Business Strategist for Marketing and Promotions, said, “We are thrilled to have nCompass in our tool box. Directly reaching our players is one of the best ways to market our business offerings, and nCompass empowers us to directly touch our customers on property, during their experience, to further enhance their total experience. Plus, nCompass allows us to use whatever resources we deem necessary to create our messaging, so we can be very creative in fulfilling on the Chumash brand promise.”
Aristocrat has also recently enjoyed success with Oasis 360 in Puerto Rico, the first of its kind. The new installation is at the casino inside the Embassy Suites Dorado Del Mar Beach & Golf Resort. With this installation, Aristocrat’s Oasis system is managing operations in six casinos across Puerto Rico.
Kelly Shaw, Vice President for Systems Sales & Marketing for Aristocrat, Americas said, “We are thrilled to bring the Oasis 360 Sentinel 3 solution to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean for the first time, and we are very proud with the trust that Dorado Del Mar Casino has put in our products and Aristocrat. We are also excited to have won the majority of the casino floor space, and we know that their players will love our line of proven and top performing games.”
The $6.6 million Dorado Del Mar Casino is Puerto Rico’s newest venue, and Aristocrat’s Oasis 360 will be monitoring all of the casino’s 258 slots. In addition to the Oasis 360 system, Aristocrat also provided 71 games, earning more than 28 per cent of the casino floor, more than any other supplier.
The Oasis 360 suite custom-built for Dorado Del Mar Casino is extensive and will give the property the freedom, flexibility and strength, to customize programs to enhance operational efficiencies and provide added benefits for their players.
Elsewhere, March saw the debut of Aristocrat’s new slot machine Tarzan Lord of the Jungle at California’s Thunder Valley Casino Resort.
Before the early March celebrations, CJ Graham, General Manager of Thunder Valley Casino Resort, said: “Thunder Valley is thrilled to host the premier of Tarzan Lord of the Jungle. Our guests have asked for more games, and on March 3 we’re making it happen by offering our guests the chance to be the first to play Aristocrat Technologies’ new video slot game.”
The Tarzan Lord of the Jungle video slot game brings the myth and fantasy of the famous tale to life with dazzling graphics, stereo sound, seven high-hit frequency bonus features and a four-level progressive with a top jackpot of $250,000.
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle is a 30 line + 20 credit ante bet game with a 50-credit minimum bet and a 150-credit maximum bet. The big screen style action stretches top to bottom on Aristocrat’s incredible VERVEhd monitor. The 31.5” portrait monitor dramatically showcases Tarzan Lord of the Jungle’s GEN7X capabilities in high def (1920x1080) graphics, 3D panoramic digital audio and player-adjustable sound. The action extends right to players’ fingertips thanks to Aristocrat’s Nteractiv LCD Programmable button technology.
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle recently received certification for all GLI jurisdictions.
