A Summer sizzlers
ristocrat Technologies has a bumper summer in store for
European gamers with the release of three high pro- file slots, two already hav- ing proven highly suc- cessful in other regions. Newly available in
unregulated markets is Wonder 4, Aristocrat’s first true Multi-Play/Multi-Game experience offering the choice of playing up to four reel sets concurrently. The game library draws on proven titles Buffalo, Wild Splash, Pompeii and FireLight. Having built up huge levels of operator excite- ment, Aristocrat also stages the launch of its new Reel Tube game category, in which reels revolve hor- izontally as well as spin vertically. The first of this new breed, the Egyptian-themed Pharaoh’s Prize is due for release in August.
