Review G2E LAS VEGAS 2014 - PART 1
The 84ins. Arc cabinet
Aristocrat’s Liberty Reyes with Superman The Movie at G2E ARISTOCRAT’S ARC DE TRIUMPH
Aristocrat’s 2014 G2e display had a lot to live up to in Las Vegas. The legendary Buffalo Stampede was named one of the industry's most profitable new games in Goldman Sachs' 2014 Slot Manager Survey whilst The Walking Dead Slot Game was named Casino Product of the Year at the Global Gaming Awards with more than 250 units already in casinos from coast to coast.
In addition to the hit titles mentioned above, The Batman Classic TV Series powered by Wonder Wheels also topped industry surveys and was named among the most anticipated game releases of the year by slot managers. And yet, the Australian-born slot giant had no problem in topping last year’s achievements with an array of exciting new licences covering film, TV and music as well arguably the most spectacular cabinets at the exhibition.
The 84 inch Arc cabinet stopped most in its tracks, towering high above the exhibition floor and curving to immerse the player in not just sound but vision as well. The cabinet housed many licences to do it justice too with Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, Buffalo Stampede and Britney Spears all gracing the curve, which due to its immersive size is capable of generating some breathtaking bonus rounds.
