First NeoGames shareholder approval obtained

Sydney, 19 July 2023 - Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL) confirms that shareholders of NeoGames S.A. (“NeoGames”) have voted to adopt the Business Combination Agreement entered into with NeoGames on 15 May 2023 and to approve the statutory continuation of NeoGames from Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands (“Continuation”). This shareholder approval is the first of two shareholder approvals required to effect the proposed acquisition of NeoGames by Aristocrat.

The Continuation will be completed following satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of all required gaming, antitrust and foreign investment regulatory approvals. These approvals are progressing well, in line with Aristocrat’s expectations.

Completion of the proposed acquisition will occur by way of a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Aristocrat with NeoGames which will take place following the Continuation and the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval by NeoGames shareholders holding at least 66.7% of the shares entitled to vote and present or represented at the second shareholder meeting.

Aristocrat and NeoGames are continuing to work together to progress the remaining steps required to complete the proposed acquisition, which Aristocrat continues to expect will occur during FY24.

Australia's Aristocrat Leisure to buy software firm NeoGames for $1B

May 15 (Reuters) - Australia's Aristocrat Leisure (ALL.AX) on Monday said it has entered a deal to acquire Israel-based software firm NeoGames S.A. (NGMS.O) for $1.0 billion as the gambling machine maker seeks to expand its online presence.

Aristocrat Leisure said it would pay a cash price of $29.50 per share to the shareholders of NeoGames to buy 100% of the Nasdaq-listed software firm.

The takeover would give Aristocrat entry into the attractive iLottery market, "which is a highly regulated ... and can facilitate further penetration across other online Real-Money Gaming (RMG) verticals," the company said.

NeoGames does content and technology solutions for the online RMG industry.

"We see great opportunities in the combination of our complementary businesses, with clear revenue and growth potential that comes with a complete and seamless online RMG solution," said Aristocrat CEO Trevor Croker.

NeoGames' board has recommended its shareholders vote in favour of the deal and holders of 61% of NeoGames shares have also executed a deal to vote in favour of the purchase, Aristocrat said.

Aristocrat Leases Office Space in India's Nodia Region

Australia-based gaming manufacturer Aristocrat has reportedly leased some 128,000 square feet of office space in the Candor TechSpace Special Economic Zone (SEZ), in India’s region of Noida.

The Economic Times reports that the lease took place despite numerous other companies opting to delay investment in SEZs until a new development bill replaces the SEZ Zones Act in the nation, with demand for office space in the Noida area, located in Northern India outside of New Delhi, continuing to rise.

The publication notes that Samsung had also previously leased some 370,000 square feet of office space in the same district Aristocrat is locating itself.

Savills India is also predicting that demand for commercial space within the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) will reach 11 million square feet this year, as workers return to offices.

Aristocrat’s most recent financial results had not indicated any plans for large expansion of office space in India, however, it does have a strong development presence in the country.

A report on the Noida SEZ’s page however, notes that Aristocrat applied to lease a 128,452-square-foot unit located on the ground floor, 8th, 9th and 10th floors of a tower in the region. The rental was also in order to shift the group’s prior operations in the SEZ to a centralized facility.

The unit is expected to provide services of Information Technology, IT enabled services including Back Office Operations, Software Design and Development Services and IT Support.

Projected exports from the project were estimated at $2.66 million over a period of five years.

Sally Denby Officially Appointed CFO of Aristocrat

Aristocrat has finally announced that it received regulatory approval for the appointment of Sally Denby to the role of Chief Financial Officer, after initially announcing the appointment in mid-November.

Denby had been promoted to Deputy CFO in February of this year, following seven years in senior finance leadership roles in the company.

Speaking of the promotion, Aristocrat CEO Trevor Croker said that “Over her successful career at Aristocrat, Sally has proven to be an outstanding enterprise leader and a trusted finance partner. Sally’s cultural impact, deep engagement with our operating businesses and understanding of our obligations as an ASX listed company further add to her credentials.”

Sally Denby


Denby steps into the role following the departure of Julie Cameron-Doe, who had been with the company since 2018, having announced that her departure to Wynn Resorts would come into effect in the second quarter of this year.

Croker noted that “Sally has worked effectively with myself and our leaders in supporting the execution of our growth strategy and ensuring seamless continuity post the departure of our previous CFO in April.”

The move comes as the company delivered strong results in its fiscal 2022 (ending September 30th), with annual profits of AU$1.1 billion ($740 million), a 27 percent year-on-year increase.

Screen_Shot_2022-11-15_at_5.59.07_PM.png


Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL) today announced its financial results for the 12 months ended 30 September 2022.

Aristocrat delivered a high quality result, with strong revenue and profit growth reflecting sustained investment in top-performing product portfolios, differentiating capabilities, increased operational diversification and business resilience.

Normalised profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired intangibles (NPATA) of $1,099.3 million represents an increase of 27% in reported terms, and 20% in constant currency, compared to the prior corresponding period (PCP). This was driven by exceptional performance in North American Gaming Operations and global Outright Sales, despite supply chain disruptions and mixed operating conditions across key markets.

Aristocrat Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Trevor Croker, said “Aristocrat’s performance underlines the ongoing implementation of our growth strategy. Throughout the year, we continued to invest in competitive product portfolios to drive further share growth across key segments, greater operational diversification and deeper business capability.

“Aristocrat delivered an increase in revenues of almost 18% year on year, and an annual profit of $1.1 billion that exceeded our 2019 financial year performance by approximately 23%. This highlights the strength of our post-COVID recovery and our ability to execute in a challenging environment.

“Strong performance in Aristocrat Gaming more than offset headwinds in the Pixel United business, again highlighting the increasing diversification and resilience of our Group.

“We have made further progress in our ‘build and buy’ strategy to scale in online RMG, with the launch of our new business, Anaxi. While we are focusing first on the North American i-Gaming vertical, we ultimately aim to be the leading gaming platform within the global online RMG industry. We will continue to invest behind this key adjacent growth opportunity as we build Anaxi over the medium-term.

“Aristocrat took significant steps forward in leadership and capability, while continuing to execute against our ambitious ESG commitments. This included preparatory work to allow us to set a science-based emissions reduction target for the Group in calendar 2023. In addition, we made progress in our responsible gameplay agenda, rolled out an enhanced anti-modern slavery training programme and achieved an above-benchmark employee engagement score for the year.

“Our performance highlights the incredible resilience and commitment of our team of over 7,500 people around the world. I want to thank each of our people for their hard work, and their care for each other, as we navigated the conflict in Ukraine and other challenges across the year.

“As we look ahead, we believe that Aristocrat’s outstanding product portfolios, growing operational resilience and capability, along with a highly engaged team and strong culture, positions us well to maintain our momentum despite uncertain conditions,” Mr Croker concluded.


FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Group revenue increased to $5.6 billion, representing a 17.7% increase in reported terms and 12.0% in constant currency compared to the PCP.

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of $1,850.9 million was 20% higher on a reported basis and 14% higher on a constant currency basis compared to the PCP.

Strong operating cash flows and superior financial fundamentals were maintained, ensuring the business retains full strategic optionality and the ability to fund both organic investment and inorganic acceleration options.

The Group’s balance sheet maintained the business’ optionality, with a net cash position of $564 million and liquidity of $3.8 billion at 30 September 2022.

The Directors have authorised a final fully franked dividend of 26.0 cps (A$171.5 million)2 for the period ended 30 September 2022, taking the full year fully franked dividends to 52.0cps (A$345.3 million)2. The record and payment dates for the final dividend are 1 December 2022 and 16 December 2022, respectively.

Cash of $660 million was appropriately returned to shareholders through dividends and onmarket share buy-back, in line with the Group’s established capital allocation framework.

 

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Aristocrat’s portfolio of scaled, world-class Gaming and Pixel United assets continued to grow and diversify over the 12 months to 30 September 2022, off the back of ongoing investment and high quality execution.

This was driven by exceptional performance in North American Gaming Operations and global Outright Sales, despite supply chain disruptions and mixed operating conditions across key markets.

Pixel United delivered a resilient performance in a challenging environment, as overall mobile bookings moderated post COVID-driven peaks in the PCP.

Through the second half, Aristocrat continued to protect its people and business in Ukraine, providing comprehensive support to employees. Around three quarters of our people were assisted to relocate to safer places within Ukraine or abroad. Operational disruptions were minimised by leveraging capability across the Pixel United business, with new studios opened in Poland, Spain and Canada, and Ukraine utilisation rates were approaching pre-conflict levels at period end.

Aristocrat made significant progress in executing its ‘build and buy’ strategy to scale in online RMG, with the launch of its new business, Anaxi. Online RMG is a material growth and diversification opportunity that will provide further channels for the distribution of the Group’s world-leading content.

The Group continued to invest strongly in product and technology, along with innovation, operational excellence and customer engagement, to drive further share growth across key markets, segments and game genres. Design and Development (D&D) investment remained at a market-leading 12%, and disciplined User Acquisition (UA) was also delivered.

Highlights for the period included: Aristocrat Gaming:

• Strong revenue growth across Americas and ANZ led by increasing product portfolio depth and strength, with Class III Premium installed base growing by 14.0% to 31,595 units and Class III and Class II FPD increasing by 8.5% to US$55.78;

• Americas margin expanded 2.7 percentage points to 56.1%, driven by revenue growth and strong management of the installed base, more than offsetting higher input costs driven by supply chain challenges;

• Americas Outright Sales units up 66%, fuelled by larger customer capital commitments and increased product penetration, with MarsXTM and MarsXTM Portrait cabinets driving Average Selling Price up 8%; and

• Expansion into attractive adjacent markets continues, with growth in VLT and Washington CDS, and entry into Kentucky Historical Horse Racing and New York Lottery.

Pixel United:

• Gained further share overall and maintained its status as a Top 5 mobile games publisher in Tier-1 western markets3, with 6 of the top 100 mobile games in the US across multiple genres at 30 September 2022;

• Retained leading positions in key genres, including #1 position in the Social Slots segment, #2 in the broader Social Casino genre, #1 in the Squad RPG (Role-Playing Games) segment and #3 in the Casual Merge segment according to industry data (Sensor Tower);

• Average Bookings Per Daily Active User (ABPDAU) grew 11%, driven by improved performance in Social Casino and RPG, Strategy & Action;

• Moved proactively to cease operating its mobile games in Russia during the year. This market historically contributed approximately 3% of annualised Pixel United bookings, primarily in the Plarium portfolio; and

• Continued to strengthen and diversify operations for future growth, including opening new studios in Poland, Spain and Canada, and bringing further game development capabilities to the business.

 

OUTLOOK

Aristocrat expects to deliver NPATA growth over the full year to 30 September 2023, assuming no material change in economic and industry conditions, reflecting:

• Continued strong revenue and profit growth from Aristocrat Gaming, underpinned by market-leading positions and recurring revenue drivers in Gaming Operations;

• Lower growth in bookings and profit from Pixel United, compared to recent years; and

• Further investment in Anaxi, to support our online RMG ambitions.

Over the medium-term, Aristocrat aims to:

• Continue to gain market share in all key segments;

• Deliver high quality, profitable growth;

• Continuously invest in D&D to improve competitiveness and breadth of product;

• Invest to diversify our business in line with strategy; and

• Effectively manage capital to support long-term growth and maximise shareholder returns.

Despite the failed Playtech takeover, Croker said Aristocrat has been investing in building its in-house online RMG capabilities over the past year and, leveraging these foundations, will now accelerating a “build and buy” approach to scaling in online RMG.

“This will see us invest strongly in building out our own online RMG platform infrastructure while also undertaking select M&A, partnerships and talent acquisitions to accelerate progress wherever appropriate,” Croker explained.

“To bring the right level of focus and momentum to the task, we are establishing a third global operating business within Aristocrat.

“Achieving a scaled position in online RMG will be a medium-term effort. It will take sustained investment over a number of years. However, our record shows that Aristocrat knows how to successfully scale businesses.

“We will apply a similar mix of effective organic and inorganic investment, and financial and operational rigour to this task, under Mitchell’s leadership and aligned to shareholders’ interests.”

On the appointment of Bowen to the new segment, Croker said he had already “cemented his reputation as an industry executive of global standing. His strategic and operational impact is evident in the outstanding momentum of the Gaming business and its recovery post COVID, with excellent staff engagement and an unwavering customer focus.

“Mitchell will be supported by a dedicated leadership team that will include a number of key internal and external appointments, to rapidly bolster our capabilities in relevant areas,” he said.

Aristocrat's Prime Cashless Digital Wallet Trials in Australia

Digital gaming wallets are finally making their first inroads in Australia after years of stakeholder debate, with Australia’s first digital gaming wallet trial set to take place in an NSW club in the final quarter of 2021.

On the surface, it’s a technology that could bring Australia’s gaming sector in line with virtually all other sectors, allowing customers to use their digital wallets to supplement cash and cashless technologies. Until now, players have been required to bring physical cash into gaming venues, or onto player cards or tickets which are then loaded onto the machine.

On a deeper level, this cashless technology is set to bring responsible gaming and anti-money laundering (AML) capabilities out of the dark ages.

Nevada, which rivals NSW as the world’s biggest state-wide EGM market, finally made this step last year during the pandemic by approving the use of cashless wagering technology in casinos. The Covid-19 pandemic generated real concerns about physical bills being a vector for the virus.

On the other hand, Australia’s gaming industry push for cashless appears to come from a responsible gaming and AML front, issues that have become the centerpiece of discussion amid ongoing inquiries into Crown Resorts’ practices across the country.

Craig Butler, director of commercial strategy at Aristocrat Australia has been chosen to lead the digital wallet trial, which will take place at Wests Group New Lambton venue, in Newcastle NSW. Trial preparations will commence in August and the trial itself will occur in the final quarter of 2021.

“This is an exciting development for the industry. As you know, consumers are rapidly moving toward cashless and mobile payments. This is a global frictionless trend that has only been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic with patrons seeking cleaner, contactless payment solutions,” according to Butler in an interview with Asia Gaming Brief.

“We know that governments and regulators are increasingly expecting cashless gaming to support industry integrity and stamp out any illegal activity, as well as offer new responsible gameplay functionality to patrons. Aristocrat believes that facilitating cashless payments is a key pillar that will underpin the ongoing sustainability of our industry.”

One of the key questions that will be answered by the trial is around digital wallets’ impact on a patron’s gambling behavior. Specifically, whether there is any exacerbation of gambling harm among other considerations.

“While a trial research scope is yet to be determined, we believe this will be a factor considered by the regulator in making its decision on whether the digital payment solution is suitable for approval in NSW,” Butler explains.

The cornerstone of the digital wallet technology used in the trial is Aristocrat’s PRIME Mobile system, which allows players to set up gaming limits and determine the venue response for when limits are reached.

Thresholds can also be established for session length, frequency of play, the amount spent or won, total bets, bet size, and staff intervention can be enabled.

Messages and push notifications are sent to the patron via the venue’s gaming management system. Credit cannot be used, there are limits on funds transfers to the player’s digital wallet, and topping-up on the gaming floor is not permitted. Players can also self-exclude using the app. Additionally, PRIME Mobile structure provides a quarantine wallet to allow players to prevent funds from being used for EGM play for a period of 24 hours.

It is a technology that gaming futurist Earle Hall, CEO of AxesNetwork says is imperative for responsible gaming.

“Responsible gaming is a fallacy without Know Your Client (KYC) empowerment. Anonymous responsible gaming policies only lock the barn door once the horse has been stolen,” said Hall in an interview with AGB last month.

“With KYC, responsible gaming is real, quantifiable, and traceable. Think cashless smart cards. There are a number of modern jurisdictions that already require players to be verified against some form of national identification. Once the player or patron has been identified, they are issued a player’s card and then can play. Then the fun starts.”


Thus a clear question remains. Why has it taken so long for Australia and other jurisdictions like it to take on digital wallets in gaming venues?

Paul Newson, principal at Senet Advisory and a former deputy secretary of the Department of Liquor and Gaming noted that Australia saw an active push for cashless between 2018 and 2019 – leading to the Liquor and Gaming NSW establishing a joint Technology Working Group to properly examine and inform advice around merits and options.

Though, he says that some regulators have been either resistant or uninterested in the technology.

“Perhaps concerns around the risk of aggravating gambling harm by removing existing friction and controls involved with accessing cash in venues has made regulators hesitant,” said Newson.

“Ideally it would provide the majority of players increased convenience and the discretion in their betting decisions, however, would also provide means to set voluntary controls or limits as well as mandatory threshold and flags for anomalous profile or betting behavior etc,” said Newson. “To my mind, it wouldn’t displace the responsible gambling role of attendants at venues, but would enhance monitoring and be alert to much richer data and flags than simple observation by an RCG training attendant.”

Newson has been a strong advocate for greater funding and more innovative technology to be at the disposal of gaming regulators in Australia.

Butler believes that governments and regulators are increasingly encouraging cashless gaming to address responsible gameplay, money laundering, and compliance concerns.


“Bringing forward options to support cashless gaming which address these regulatory considerations is therefore important to ensuring the long sustainability of the industry in Australian markets,” he said.

Looking ahead, Butler believes that the adoption of digital payments for gaming will increase in line with payment trends in Australian society.

“Australians are fast adopters of digital technology including payment and the use of digital wallets is commonplace… Whilst we believe cashless and existing card-based cashless technologies will continue to be utilized by players, we do see some real potential benefits for players adopting mobile technology.”

Bell Steps Down as Aristocrat Company Secretary

Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX) has confirmed that deputy general counsel and company secretary Richard Bell has resigned from his position.

Bell was commended for his legal expertise, and thanked for “playing an instrumental role in many of the M&A transactions that have transformed ASX in recent years” by Aristocrat chief executive Trevor Croker.

Croker also noted that during his tenure Bell oversaw a number of acquisitions. This included a $500m deal to acquire social gaming provider Plarium in 2017, and the supplier’s $990m deal to acquire Big Fish Games from Churchill Downs Incorporated in 2018.

After six years in the job, Bell will be succeeded first by Tracey Elkerton while Aristocrat awaits full regulatory approval for his full-time replacement, Kristy Jo, to fill the role.

Aristocrat recently enjoyed positive half-year results for 2021, generating A$2.23bn (£1.27bn/€1.48bn/$1.80bn) worth of revenue. This was mostly thanks to the success of the supplier’s digital segment, which made up for a decline in machine sales because of the impact of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic on the land-based gaming industry.

Aristocrat Set to Roll Out Flexiplay

The CEO of Australian slot machine giant Aristocrat Leisure Ltd, Trevor Croker, has revealed the company will roll out new responsible gameplay technology into the domestic market before the end of March after receiving approval from some state regulators.

Providing a detailed outlook for the year ahead to investors during Aristocrat’s Annual General Meeting on Friday, Croker said regulators in the Australian states and territories of New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT have now approved the first games to incorporate “Flexiplay” technology, which it plans to roll out during the current quarter.

“Flexiplay” allows players to voluntarily set time limits and quarantine winnings from being played down via the timer and piggy bank functions, he explained.

“We are preparing to place the first of these games in market in the first quarter of this year,” Croker said. “Our customers have been very supportive of ‘Flexiplay’. We look forward to learning more from the release of ‘Flexiplay’ and to applying the lessons to further product-based RG innovations in future.”

According to Croker, this second generation of responsible gameplay feature, which follows on from Aristocrat’s original “Bluegum” EGM product, was trialed in 2019 before recently gaining regulatory approval.

“Aristocrat is proud of our track record of investing in the development and testing of machine-based responsible gaming features,“ Croker said.

“This is just one example, but it speaks to Aristocrat’s approach in this complex area. We seek to lead, we strive to work collaboratively with customers and other stakeholders, and we focus on bringing forward commercially viable options that enhance player empowerment and choice.”

Aristocrat Gaming's™ New MarsX™ Portrait Cabinet is the Picture of Innovation

LAS VEGAS (February 18, 2021) – Advanced technology for players, operators, and slot techs combines with a new compelling game library to create an out-of-this world experience in Aristocrat Gaming’s™ all-new cabinet, the MarsX™ Portrait.
 
The original MarsX™ was a breakthrough in cabinet design and instantly became a favorite of players and operators alike. Now, with the MarsX Portrait, Aristocrat has created a new picture of innovation.

Advanced technology
MarsX Portrait boasts a wealth of advanced technology that creates a more intuitive and fun gaming experience. Gen9 components drive MarsX Portrait’s ability to spin fast, and the action plays out on the 43” curved ultra high-definition monitor, tall enough to allow for exciting growing reels action. And while the action may be hot, the MarsX Portrait never is, thanks to a specially designed chimney that redirects heat quietly away from both the player and critical components.
 
Technology for players
MarsX Portrait gives players an experience they have been craving. The curved screen is a 4k display capable of showing 16.7 billon colors for unsurpassed visuals. Sight meets sound with MarsX Portrait’s 4.1 Spatial KineticSound that creates a perfect soundscape for every game’s unique journey. A virtual button deck has a dynamic bash button and wireless USB charging. Players will also love the portrait’s game action, including growing reels, Cash on Reels, Hold & Spin, and multiple jackpot levels.
 
Technology for operators and slot techs
Operators and slot floor staff will appreciate MarsX Portrait’s super hi-def toppers and vibrant wedges that create visual destinations and attract players. Slot techs will love several innovations that are a dramatic leap forward in cabinet design. The virtual button desk is constructed of Corning’s Gorilla Glass® for a near indestructible quality, and the bash button design allows for quick and easy in-field replacement. The front door is positioned on hydraulic hinges, a patented electro-mechanical latch provides greater security with an embedded optic coupler, and a secondary power switch is located on the front of the cabinet door. MarsX Portrait addresses BVs and printers with dedicated cash drop doors, and a pop-up track for ticket printers.
 
Innovative new game library
Aristocrat created a new games library specifically for the MarsX Portrait, leading with three new game families. The Cash Across™ family was created for core players who thrill to the excitement of big wins, reel expansion, and jackpot potential. Launch titles are Horses of Helios™ and Savanna Lion™.
 
The player-favorite Fu Dai Lian Lian™ gets an added persistent boost mode to enhance the fun in FU DAI LIAN LIAN BOOST PEACOCK™ and FU DAI LIAN LIAN BOOST TIGER™.
 
The fun and excitement is tripled in the new Triple Grand Fortunes™ family of games with game titles Triple Grand Fortunes™ Fu Grand™, Triple Grand Fortunes™ Lu Grand™, and Triple Grand Fortunes™ Shou Grand™.

Aristocrat Technologies, Inc. announced today it has partnered with leading casino operator Boyd Gaming Corporation to launch Aristocrat's cashless wagering digital wallet technology at Boyd Gaming's Blue Chip Casino Resort Spa in Michigan City, Indiana.

Oct. 26, 2020 -- This new innovation is the cornerstone of a new "Resort Wallet" feature in which patrons can place cash on account at the cashier cage, then use their player loyalty card to instantly access those funds on the casino floor.

The two companies also plan to integrate the digital wallet into Boyd Gaming's B Connected Mobile app, creating a truly digital, touchless experience for Boyd Gaming customers.

Additionally, its ergonomic design provides more efficient accessibility for field service technicians, decreasing service time in the field. Game-complimentary corona sync edge lighting creates a unique play environment. LCD toppers are supported with game-driven content for added entertainment.

 

For players, the new MarsX cabinet has two 27” 4k displays and new Gen 9™ internal components drive performance and allow for uninterrupted high-speed game play. A premium virtual button deck offers a high definition and a minimalistic way of wagering. Incorporated into the deck is the latest in wireless charging technology, allowing players to charge their phone by simply placing it onto the deck. A 4:1 speaker system optimally projects audio from around the displays, providing crisp, balanced sound.

 

The MarsX cabinet is launching with five industry-leading titles leveraging Aristocrat’s biggest brands and bringing innovation to the Games Sales space. Buffalo Gold Revolution™ is the latest installment in Aristocrat’s Buffalo franchise which extends on the top performing Buffalo Gold™ with a new Jackpot wheel and base game feature. This feature can turn royal symbols into Buffalo on any spin. The Mighty Cash™ brand expands onto MarsX by leveraging the strong Hold & Spin mechanic and combining it with a Metamorphic trigger pot for the first time. Finally, the new Fu Dai Lian Lian™ franchise will feature an industry-first -- three metamorphic pots, and each pot can trigger a unique feature. 

 

The MarsX cabinet is taking the industry by storm with Dollar Storm™, an exciting lease option for this model. Dollar Storm is the highly anticipated evolution of the industry’s best two products, Lightning Link™ and Dragon Link™, with an added MSP. It contains the best of both of those games, specifically, Dollar Storm takes the globally recognizable theming of Lightning Link to the next level while incorporating high denominations inspired by Dragon Link - 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 25c, $1, $2 and an operator-configurable $5 option, and then adds an “any bet qualifies” rapid-hitting multi-site progressive starting at $50,000 for increased excitement. Featuring the player favorite “Hold & Spin” bonus, Dollar Storm provides patrons with plenty of familiar “What You See Is What You Get” fun. Players can win the MSP during the Hold & Spin bonus with a new MSP trigger mechanic, as well as the GRAND Jackpot, MAJOR Jackpot, MINOR and MINI Bonuses and credit prizes using the same familiar functionality as Lightning Link and Dragon Link.  Dollar Storm themes include Emperor’s Treasure™, Caribbean Gold™, Egyptian Jewels™, and Ninja Moon™.

Aristocrat will be in booth #60 of the CORFERIAS Convention Center, and will exhibit new games and cabinets, including the launch of the landmark Helix XTTM cabinet.


“Aristocrat is committed to our customers in Colombia and throughout Latin America. Thanks to our customers, which include all of the main casino operators in Colombia, we have been able to achieve an important share of the premium game market,” said Carlos Carrion, Director of Sales and Operations. “Now at FADJA, we are excited to present new games and cabinets to help our customers provide the greatest gaming experience possible to their players.”


Operators and players alike enjoy Aristocrat’s HelixTM cabinet, and now Aristocrat is bringing its new Helix XTTM cabinet to Colombia. Helix XT builds on the success of the original Helix, and adds an enhanced new topper, a virtual button deck designed specifically for the XT, and stunning 4K graphics displayed on a curved 42” screen. Appearing on the Helix XT is the player-favorite Mighty CashTM Double Up Link and the titles Lucky TigerTM and Money DragonTM.

FarmVille™ Slot Game on the New EdgeX™ Cabinet

Your players will bring home a harvest of fun playing Aristocrat’s new FarmVille™ Slot Game on the all new EdgeX™ cabinet.

FarmVille Slot Game is based on the wildly popular farm building game franchise, FarmVille by Zynga®, and players will find all of their favorite characters, farm animals and livestock in the slot game.

FarmVille Slot Game combines the excitement of Mighty Cash™ and the popular Progressive Free Games mechanic into a new experience. In FarmVille, the number of Mighty Cash spins are incrementing and allows players to play a new Mighty Cash matrix every time the current Mighty Cash matrix is entirely filled up.

FarmVille is a Reel Power™ 3x5 game with player-selectable denominations. The game has high volatility and average feature frequency. Adding to the fun is an SSP with grand jackpot reset values of $2,500 or $5,000.

Features include the Mighty Cash Unlimited Feature, where the player plays one of three levels of Mighty Cash, differentiated by the ‘all positions filled’ bonus award (2x, 3x, or 4x all prizes). Mighty Cash level also determines the number of Mighty Cash spins awarded. If the player has remaining spins after a blackout, then a new matrix is presented and the round continues.

The Wheel Bonus Feature awards credits, free games with unlimited retrigger, or a pick and match 3 jackpot feature.

Of course, a brand name as big as FarmVille deserves a screen and cabinet as big as the EdgeX with its two curved 43” cinematic LCD screens displaying panoramic views, stereo symphonic surround sound, and virtual button deck, all in a cabinet that occupies a “mini-jumbo” footprint.

Aristocrat Installs its First Tribal Lottery System (TLS) Games in Washington at Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino

LAS VEGAS (January 2, 2018) – Aristocrat has installed its first Tribal Lottery System (TLS) games in the State of Washington at the Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino. The new games – Birds of Pay™, Buffalo Gold Collection™, Wild Lepre’Coins™, and Wild Panda™ Gold – are the first games in the state provided by Aristocrat on the TLS platform.

The games come to Tulalip and Quil Ceda by means of the Tulalip Tribe of Washington’s sponsoring Aristocrat’s entrance into the TLS market. That sponsorship allowed the company to sell its cabinets and games in the State.

“We are excited for the Tulalip/Aristocrat partnership and what it means to the Washington market. Aristocrat has established solid product performance and will bring a superior library of content for our guests’ enjoyment,” said Don Hegnes, Tulalip Resort Casino Slots Director.

“Tulalip Resort Casino and Quil Ceda Creek Casino are excited to be the first properties to introduce Aristocrat cabinets and games into the Washington market. Since the first install, our guests continue to embrace the product,” said Belinda Hegnes, Quil Ceda Creek Casino Slots Director.

“We are very excited to bring these new games to Tulalip, Quil Ceda, and Washington State. We have worked diligently to create new games based on player-favorite titles that fully comply with TLS regulations, and we are grateful to The Tulalip Tribe of Washington for their sponsorship and encouragement throughout this process,” said Siobhan Lane, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Gaming Operations.

The games are the first in a series of titles Aristocrat plans to bring to the State over the next year. “Our product road map is strong and includes many titles from our Core product portfolio that players enjoy. We are committed to the Washington market and are excited to support our customers with a wide range of player-favorite titles,” said Lane.

LAS VEGAS (December 13, 2018) – Aristocrat was joined by a delegation of local, state, and international dignitaries to cut the ribbon at the company’s new two-building campus in the Las Vegas neighborhood Summerlin.

Participating in the ceremony were Aristocrat Leisure Limited Chairman Ian Blackburne, Aristocrat Leisure Limited CEO Trevor Croker, Managing Director of the Americas Matt Wilson and Kevin T. Orrock, President, Summerlin, The Howard Hughes Corporation.

The new building will further enhance our ability to work together by providing a functional environment that sparks collaboration and innovation.”

The new campus, located at 10200 Aristocrat Way, consists of two three-story, tilt-up concrete structures of approximately 90,000 square feet each, delivering total floor space of approximately 180,000 square feet. The size of the campus allows the company to bring most of its 1,100 Las Vegas-based employees together at one site, while also allowing space for additional hiring.

The building shell and interiors use environmentally friendly materials. An open floor plan allows for enhanced collaboration, and a state-of-the-art showroom features more than 100 of the company’s newest slot games.

The campus features many employee-friendly amenities such as sit-stand desks, ergonomically designed chairs, gym, meditation room, café, on-site barista, pantries on each floor, game room, bike path, and large outdoor patio/park.

New Game Profile WESTWORLD™ Slot Game

Aristocrat’s Latest Class III Game for N. America

Aristocrat’s latest slot game inspired by the sci-fi-fantasy world of WESTWORLD™ will soon be taking casino players across North America on a journey like no other.

The game is inspired by HBO’s hit drama series WESTWORLD, from Warner Bros. Television, set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past.

The new slot game takes players on a thrilling journey through Delos Lab and WESTWORLD, filled with unexpected twists and turns, fan-favorite characters, and beautiful landscapes, as well as high-definition footage of the most memorable scenes, episodic photography and the show’s distinctive music.

The WESTWORLD slot game offers a unique gaming experience in which fans can play in two different worlds. The top symbol set represents the Delos corporate world – and the bottom symbol set depicts the WESTWORLD park theme.

Players can make a 50c wager to play the two separate games. A wager of 80c or more merges the two game sets for a full game immersion, where base games become even more exciting with increased ways to win, and additional chances of triggering a feature, as well as showcasing a unique reel set of 6x6x7x7x7x7. WESTWORLD also features a unique math model that is completely new to the gaming industry.

The base game features include Reverie Respin with a “Hold & Respin” mechanic, and Delos Replay, which adds mystery wilds or multipliers to the reel set.

Main game features include Delos Lab Free Games, which are free games with a phantom pick where players can win credits from up to three different free games that play simultaneously; and Mariposa Free Games, which offer the player the action of persistent wild reels for the chance to win big.

Aristocrat Installs Groundbreaking TrackIt™ System with Vouchers and RFID for Tables at Live! Casino & Hotel

LAS VEGAS (September 10, 2018) – Aristocrat and Live! Casino & Hotel continue to innovate together. Aristocrat has installed the first version of its TrackIt™ for Tables with Vouchers and RFID at Live! Casino in the newly- opened Orchid Gaming & Smoking Patio. The implementation is the first in North America.

Live! is a long-time partner of Aristocrat’s Oasis 360™ solution and was one of the first in the nation to launch ONE LINK™ bonusing as part of the Giant Jackpots progressive slot program in 2015, which has continued to evolve and drive excellent results.

Live! Casino & Hotel CIO Beth Perlman said, “We have enjoyed a long partnership with Aristocrat, and we have been excited to be the site of first-in-the-nation installations. Now with TrackIt for Tables, our players can easily and freely move from slot to table and back again, enjoying all aspects of our casino without waiting in line for a cashier.”

Aristocrat Vice President of Oasis Systems Kelly Shaw said, “Ticketing has been a tremendous asset for slot operations. With more convenience, increased accountability, and reduced costs to drive operational efficiency. When it comes to tables, players with slot tickets have been walking past table after table, with their ticket in hand. Now our TrackIt solution gives players the option to use their slot ticket at the table, opening the door for a new way for players to enjoy their favorite casino.”

Live! Casino & Hotel welcomes guests with more than 200 live action table games. Readers of Casino Player Magazine recently voted Live! as first-place winner for best craps, blackjack, and tournaments in the 2017 Best of Gaming awards for Maryland.

TrackIt is part of Aristocrat’s Oasis 360 table management solution and allows players to take vouchers printed at the slot machine and redeem them at the table for chips. It also allows operators to issue vouchers at the end of the table play session that can then be redeemed at any redemption kiosk or the casino cage.

With TrackIt, operators can dramatically reduce cage lines, because players can take their slot ticket directly to the table and can immediately begin a table play session. Further, by implementing this functionality at the table, operators can reduce the need for table fills and credits and can provide their players with cross-over play opportunities between tables and slots.

With TrackIt, dealers and/or supervisors scan vouchers using barcode scanner equipment at the table, improving upon the customer experience and increasing table game utilization.

TrackIt’s RFID chip count sensor detects the value of chips returned before the dealer/supervisor can issue a walked with value. If the chips detected by the RFID chip count sensor do not match the value input for the voucher, the system automatically generates an error message that notifies the user of the incorrect values.

Aristocrat and AGS Resolve Trademark and Trade Dress Infringement Case

LAS VEGAS (August 23, 2018) —Aristocrat Technologies (“Aristocrat”) and PlayAGS, Inc. (“AGS” or the “Company”) today announced that they have mutually agreed to resolve all claims associated with the lawsuit Aristocrat filed in March 2018 in regards to the Buffalo™ game series.

AGS Executive Vice President Matt Reback said, “We are pleased to have worked cooperatively with the Aristocrat team to quickly resolve the situation in a fair and equitable manner.”

Aristocrat Hosts Operators from Across the Industry Spectrum at Customer Advisory Forum

LAS VEGAS (August 15, 2018) – Putting customers first is a mantra at Aristocrat, and the company underscored that commitment at its recently held “Insight to Innovation Customer Advisory Forum.” The two-day event was held in Chicago and drew slot and systems leaders from across the industry spectrum.

Aristocrat’s Managing Director of the Americas Matt Wilson said, “We are keenly focused on helping our customers grow their business and entertain their patrons with innovations that truly stand out on the gaming landscape. With forums like this, customers can share their insights with us and with each other, and that enables us to become an even better business partner.”

Nationally recognized author and co-founder of Age Wage Maddy Dychtwalt opened the event with a keynote address that set the stage for the next two days of discussions.

In addition to sessions specifically dedicated to customer feedback, the Forum consisted of several breakout presentations covering a broad range of topics such as game design philosophy, floor performance management, loyalty, and mobile solutions.

Beth Perlman, Senior VP and CIO at Live! Casino & Hotel said, “This summit helped to ensure we are effective working partners, because it’s all about working together. I rely heavily on Aristocrat and their developers to help me be successful with my customers, and their leadership is open, wants to hear honest feedback and wants to make the relationships better.”

Vicki Baggett, Players Club Manager at Win-River Resort & Casino said, “Aristocrat is taking our suggestions and concerns to make the products better, which allows us to buy in and become one with Aristocrat, one with the software, and support it. That makes us feel valued and part of the team, which solidifies our relationship and makes running a casino so much easier. After all, it’s us together, serving the guests.”

Listening to customers and striving to support their success has underpinned Aristocrat’s progress.  For example, customers recently voted Aristocrat the number one slot provider, and nominated the business as having the most anticipated portfolio of games in the industry, in the 2018 Goldman Sachs Slot Survey.

Additionally, the Q2 Eilers Fantini Quarterly Slot Survey highlighted Aristocrat’s Lightning Link™, Dragon Link™, and Buffalo Grand™ as the top premium games in the industry. Further, Buffalo Gold™ was ranked the top casino-owned game.

“We can’t succeed unless our customers succeed – it’s that simple.  We are extremely grateful to our customers for attending this year’s forum and for providing us with the insights and engagement that will help us better support their success in future,” Wilson said.

Aristocrat Class III Game Profile Game of Thrones Fire & Blood™ January 2018

There’s a new monarch in Westeros. That’s because Aristocrat’s royally successful Game of Thrones™ slot game is back in an all-new version created specifically for the landmark new flame55™ cabinet.

The new game theme, Game of Thrones Fire & Blood™, is based on seasons 4, 5, and 6 of HBO’s hit TV show and includes amazing new characters, a new multi-site progressive, and all-new exciting game play driven by flame55’s unique configuration.

Game of Thrones Fire and Blood is a Reel Power™ game, offering up to 5,400 ways to win. The base game offers three different Dragon bonuses and a main game bonus. All dragons appearing on the reels guarantee a win, and each time a dragon passes over the reels, a player may be awarded extra wilds, reel growth with high paying symbols, or wild multipliers.

A 100-credit wager activates the Fire & Blood mode where players can find added entertainment, such as more frequently triggered Dragon features and added 3x Wild symbols in the Forge of Honor feature.

The Forge of Honor feature offers a new “realigning symbols” mechanic with an innovative reel and pay structure. At the end of a bonus spin, the reel symbols realign after they land to create the biggest win possible. 

The action of Game of Thrones Fire and Blood takes place on Aristocrat’s elegant and sleek flame55 cabinet with its tall 55” double-curved HD monitor, 4k-capable display delivering graphics worthy of kings, and 2.1 stereo audio.

Breathe a flame of excitement onto your casino floor with Game of Thrones Fire & Blood. For more information contact your Aristocrat representative today at (702) 270-1000.

Aristocrat’s Dragon Link™ Flies into North America with Great Customer Support

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aristocrat’s all-new Dragon Link™ game is breathing a fire of excitement on casino floors across North America. A perfect partner to Aristocrat’s global phenomenon Lightning Link™, Dragon Link builds on that success in an all-new collection of games carefully designed to coexist with Lightning Link, and the game is already receiving great customer support and player interest.

“The challenge with an incredible success like Lightning Link is how do we take it up a level. With Dragon Link, we took the very best parts of Lightning Link and the very best parts of what we do well at Aristocrat, and created an experience that players are going to love,” said Jon Hanlin, Aristocrat’s VP of Commercial Strategy - Gaming Operations.   

Information is available on the Dragon Link microsite: aristocrat-gaming.com/dragonlink. Players can discover where to play Dragon Link at www.aristocrat-us.com/where-to-play or download the AristoApp on the App Store.

Dragon Link was named to Casino Journal’s Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Awards for 2016 and features player-selectable multi-denominations of 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, $1, and $2 which appeal to a wide variety of players and allow operators the flexibility of expanding floor placement options.

Dragon Link improves upon the innovative Hold & Spin™ mechanic found in Lightning Link to provide an exciting gaming experience using a common “Orb” trigger symbol that makes it simple for players to easily recognize the Hold & Spin trigger across all game themes. Plus, the Hold & Spin feature may be triggered in base or free games.

Adding to the fun, Dragon Link’s grand jackpot is a linked progressive, while standalone jackpots give players a chance to win smaller-sized progressives more quickly and more often.

Dragon Link’s game titles are each heavily designed with distinctive Asian themes, and all Dragon Link titles maintain the same denomination options and use the same common trigger symbol across all titles. However, like Lightning Link, the uniqueness in each game comes from the different Free Game features, enabling players to play each game and find their favorites.

A unique, industry-first LED sign package creates a stunning gaming destination on the floor.

The systems solution deployed features that provide hot-seat promotions, coupon management with printing directly at the electronic gaming machine along with allowing virtual drawings through the nCompass™. Jake’s 58 also added EnrollMix™, a mobile enrollment product, to enroll patrons anywhere on the floor through a mobile solution. The systems solution also features advanced integration with other systems already installed the property.



“The Oasis 360™ system’s open architecture was extremely important to us,” said Chuck Kilroy, general manager of Jake’s 58. “With the open architecture, we are able to configure and integrate the Oasis 360™ system in a manner that suits our individual needs and our customer preferences, allowing us to market to our customers in the way that best suits their needs as players and guests.”



Aristocrat’s Vice President of System Sales Clark Warren said, “This installation was a unique implementation of our Oasis 360™ system. What Delaware North needed was Aristocrat’s industry-leading marketing solutions to properly reward their players and create even more excitement, and to integrate with existing systems. Only Aristocrat’s open architecture can accomplish this, which is why Aristocrat stands alone in listening to and adapting to our customers’ needs and creating personal solutions for each individual property.”

Thackerville, Oklahoma (August 25, 2017) – The largest collection in the world of one of gaming’s most popular titles is open at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Oklahoma. The Lightning Link™ Lounge powered by Casino 360? features over 150 Lightning Link units across almost 4,000 square feet in the London Gaming Plaza of one of the world’s largest casinos.

Jenny Cross said the overhaul of the existing Casino 360? area was a collaborative effort between the casino and Gaming Capital Group – a long-standing partner of the casino.

Melissa Cox, Gaming Capital Group’s VP of Marketing and Customer Relations, said the performance of Lightning Link games at WinStar as well as in other markets made the project a natural fit for the state’s largest gaming facility.

“Our partnerships with both Winstar and Aristocrat are very important to our operation.
