LAS VEGAS, Feb. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lightning has struck at Silverton Casino Hotel! Las Vegas’ favorite off-strip casino is now home to Nevada’s first Lightning Link™ Lounge™, a space on the casino floor dedicated exclusively to the world’s most popular video slot game, Aristocrat’s Lightning Link™.
Silverton’s Lightning Link Lounge houses 36 games, is conveniently located in the former Slot Tournament Room, and was created to respond to customer demand.
“Our players have loved Lightning Link from the minute the first game arrived on property. Ever since, we have had more and more demand for the game, and it grew to the point where it made sense to dedicate a space to this incredibly electrifying game,” said Bryan Binek, Silverton’s Executive Director of Gaming and Operations.
Silverton’s Lightning Link Lounge grand opening takes place in the Lounge from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, February 14, 2018. Free slot play will be offered to the first 200 guests that arrive. Guests who attend the grand opening will receive complimentary gifts and passed champagne, while supplies last.
“Players everywhere love Lightning Link. A Lightning Link Lounge is particularly fun because, with a game designed to build excitement, when several banks are centralized in a dedicated area, the levels of fun increase,” said Jon Hanlin, Aristocrat’s VP of Commercial Strategy, Gaming Operations.
Lightning Link is an explosive set of linked games with progressives that have proven to be a hit with players in Australia, North America and Europe, and the game was named to Casino Journal’s list of the “Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products” for 2015. Additionally, in the latest Eilers-Fantini Quarterly US Slot Survey, slot directors from across North America ranked Lightning Link is the #1 premium leased game in the market.
Lightning Link is unique in the marketplace with player-selectable multi-denominations, a multi-format jackpot offering that combines both link and SAP jackpots, an excellent mix of games that appeal to a wide range of players, and a patented new jackpot mechanic for innovative game play and trigger methodology.
