Aristocrat to Premiere Viridian Widescreen Monitor at NIGA 2010


LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - April 7, 2010) - Aristocrat Technologies is the company trusted by more Tribal gaming operations that any other company for both games and systems. Aristocrat led the way with penny slots that helped many Tribal casinos to increase their player base and bottom line, and now Aristocrat is choosing NIGA 2010 to premiere its latest innovation, the Viridian™ Widescreen Monitor.

NIGA 2010 takes place April 6-9 at the San Diego Convention Center. Aristocrat will be in booth #919.

Aristocrat President Nick Khin said, "We are very grateful to Tribal operators who have been incredibly supportive of Aristocrat for years. Now, we are proud to use NIGA 2010 as a platform to introduce our latest innovation, the Viridian WS™."

Last year Aristocrat's award-winning VIRIDIAN™ cabinet became an instant industry-wide sensation. Now Aristocrat is proud to introduce three new cabinet innovations to our product portfolio in the VIRIDIAN Widescreen™, the Vii™ slant and the exciting new VERVE™. Powered by the GEN7™ platforms, these new cabinet offerings will provide players an even more enjoyable gaming entertainment experience through our improved ergonomics, 13 button panel support, exciting new LCD button technology, easier accessibility and larger 22" LCD screens.

The high resolution monitor measures an incredible 22 inches and is housed in a sleek, slim line chop top cabinet. Improved ambient lighting creates a more welcoming environment. Once seated, players will love the simplified universal player interface for easier bet options, and the reduced belly area gives the player more room to relax and enjoy the game. A new card location makes player tracking even better and a 13-button support and new button panel give the player more options than ever. Operators will appreciate the relocated speakers that give the cabinet a great new look, and players will love the upgraded speaker quality.

Aristocrat will also be showing a wealth of games, including the community style gaming sensation Beijing Bonanza™, new games Beat the Bandits™, Jeff Foxworthy's™ Redneck Rumble™, Kentucky Derby™ and XRP RFX™ and proven performers like JAWS™ and Hit the Heights™.

Great games deserve a great system, and Aristocrat's Oasis 360™ system is trusted by more Tribal operators than any other system. In fact, Oasis 360 is used by more than 270 casinos in North America, and was most recently enthusiastically embraced by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Oasis 360 now monitors more than 9,300 devices in Choctaw casinos throughout Oklahoma, including all devices at the stunning Choctaw Casino in Durant, which celebrated its grand opening earlier this month.

Aristocrat installed and deployed the Oasis 360 system at seven casinos in just over a year's time, with each property becoming entirely Sentinel III Ethernet. The response at the property has been overwhelmingly positive, both from management and from customers.
