The raft of new launches introduced at last year’s G2e are paying off for Aristocrat with installs across the states seeing some huge jackpot wins. Tarzan Lord of The Jungle and Mission Impossible are doing particularly well.
lordofthejackpot ARISTOCRAT
Aristocrat’s Tarzan Lord of the Jungle slot has swung into the hearts and wallets of players all across North America with no less than six of the game’s grand progressive jackpot being hit since its release in March. It has so far rewarded players with
more than US$1.5m in top jackpots. Statistics show that in casinos with
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle, it is consis- tently one of the top-performing games on casino floors across the country. With almost 700 games installed and several hundred additional units on order, the install base is quickly approaching more than 1,000 units. “Players and operators from coast to coast have fallen in love with Tarzan Lord of the Jungle. Players love it because it is exciting and rewarding to play, and operators love it for the high game performance and most impor- tantly because their players love it,” said Dallas Orchard, Aristocrat VP of gaming operations. “We listened to the feedback from our operator customers to create a game that was entertaining and rewarding, and Tarzan is a perfect fulfilment of our promise to listen to our operator partners. And, we have more to come.” Aristocrat’s newest adventure slot, Mission: Impossible is available now
and is on the same style link as Tarzan. “We made a commitment to our
operator partners that we would develop and support products to extend franchise product lines, and we continue to fulfil on that promise,” Orchard said. Just days after the Tarzan Lord of the
Jungle slot game hit at the Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella,
California,
another lucky player has hit the grand jackpot on Aristocrat's new Mission: Impossible slot for US$259,428.57. “We are very excited to have these
two incredible jackpots coming so close together on two different games,” Orchard added. “Our mission was to create great games that players love to play and operators love to have on their floors.” Mission: Impossible is a daring
adventure from the first spin with players searching for the wide area progressive jackpot and its $250,000.00 top award. There are also three local area progressive jackpots and six pulse-pounding bonus fea- tures.
The action of the legendary film
series is perfectly captured in the Mission: Impossible slot and plays out larger-than-life on Aristocrat’s award- winning Verve cabinet. The cabinet has player-adjustable 3D panoramic digital audio and Aristocrat's GEN7X platform with high def graphics.
