G3 INSIGHT - HHR MACHINES


Sony Syamala, VP Commercial Strategy Game Sales Aristocrat Gaming


What HRM products does Aristocrat offer? And can you offer Aristocrat player favourites via HRMs or does the content need to be adapted?


Aristocrat plans to bring its latest and greatest hardware to the historical horse racing (HHR) market. We believe the HHR market is evolving, and the competition is increasing just like every other market. Aristocrat will enter the HHR market with our two market-leading portrait cabinets, the Helix XT and the MarsX Portrait, along with the top-performing MarsX Dual Screen cabinet. Tese cabinets will have the best performing Aristocrat Class III content ported over to HHR to run on them.


Aristocrat will be bringing its most prominent brands like Buffalo, Timber Wolf, Fu Dia Lian Lian, Gold Stacks 88, and many more. Tis will provide HHR players the chance to play the same games they love in the class III casinos. We will bring the games with the latest and hottest trending mechanics and features like Cash on Reels, Hold and Spin, Metamorphic Pots, Jackpots, and much more.


Do HRM’s present specific design challenges when compared to more traditional types of slot games which use RNGs? Does using of the outcome of historical races limit the design of the product in terms of bonuses or other features?


Yes, the game design is slightly different from the traditional RNG-based outcome. However, this is not entirely new to our game designers. We have been very successful in Class II and making great progress in the Washington TLS. We were able to utilize many learnings from there and apply that to HHR. Tough we are using the historical race data, these races are selected randomly, thus providing the players an experience close to the traditional class III games.

Aristocrat’s newly engineered Historical Horse Racing machines will operate on Ainsworth’s proprietary HRM system. Could you tell us more about that agreement?


Our agreement with Churchill is to go live by late 2021 or early 2022. We will launch with about 30 games.


Does the historical horse racing element provide an extra layer of excitement for the player? If so, how?


Te historical horse racing element could provide an additional layer of excitement because the players can select their winning
