Aristocrat is celebrating the Year of the Dragon by designing and releasing several dragon-themed games Aristocrat Leisure Ltd is set to take the G2E Asia show by storm. Its key message for the exhibition is: “We create Asia’s greatest gaming experience”. “This year is about our commitment to Asia through supporting our customers with dedicated content for Asia,” the company says. That takes shape in the release of several Asian-themed products, namely an array of Dragon-related games to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. One of Aristocrat’s highlights for G2E Asia is “Keys of Fortune”. It is the first symbol driven link progressive from Aristocrat and will be officially launched at the show. “Keys of Fortune” is extending on Aristocrat’s Hyperlink model with the first integrated free games jackpot feature, meaning that players are now collecting key symbols to enter a jackpot feature, replacing the mystery Hyperlink trigger. “Dragons on the Lake” will be unveiled at G2E Asia and made available in the second half of the year. “Dragons on the Lake” is built specifically for the Asia Pacific region. For the first time in a Hyperlink, the jackpot feature will be symbol-triggered coupled with a ‘choose your volatility jackpot’ feature allowing players to target which jackpot they wish to play for. Advanced graphics “Dragon Superior” will also be in the limelight at G2E Asia. It is Aristocrat’s latest advanced graphics package to be released in the Xtreme Mystery jackpot range. “Dragon Superior” is the first Xtreme Mystery package available with an LCD topper, designed specifically to suit the new suite of Aristocrat games with top box interaction. Aristocrat is also making its “Fa Fa Fa” Hyperlink available on the Widescreen cabinet for the first time. Recognising the success of this product across Asia, the company has provided the top four most popular games under “Fa Fa Fa” on Aristocrat’s latest platform – Viridian WS. The company has enhanced the graphics of the base games (Five Dragons, 50 Dragons, Five Koi and Fortune King) and provided a new jackpot graphics package that takes advantage of the increased graphics capability of the Widescreen platform. “Legends” is the new series of games that extends Aristocrat’s best titles and most successful brands with new product features. “Five Dragons Legends” was the first game in this series and now “Five Koi Legends” will be unveiled at G2E 2012. The Legends series will be continued next year with further titles joining the portfolio. Aristocrat plans on having a product demonstration for its ‘TruServ’ server-based gaming casino system at G2E Asia. The TruServ product demonstration will feature dynamic game management, Chinese and English language support and the ability to run the TruServ game client on traditional casino slot machines or mobile devices. Aristocrat says the TruServ system is performing well at a trial in a major Macau casino. There are plans to release the product for sale to other casinos later this year. That is not all from Aristocrat. The company will also be showcasing its latest lottery solutions at G2E Asia as well as online and mobile gaming products. The Aristocrat display is located at booth 201.
