Aristocrat is developing in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products. Previous hit-titles include Mad Max: Fury Road, Westworld, The Big Bang Theory, A Christmas Story, and many others. Crazy Rich Asians is a heavily themed game featuring sights and sounds from and inspired by the
contemporary romantic comedy Crazy Rich Asians, the 2018 blockbuster hit from Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Jon M. Chu from the acclaimed bestselling novel by Kevin Kwan and featuring an international, all-Asian ensemble cast. It appears on the Mars Portrait cabinet. Turning to systems, Aristocrat is leading the industry with its Reel Clear, PlayerMax, and Oasis Performance Monitoring solutions. First is Reel Clear. Part of Aristocrat’s global initiative called IN THE CLEAR, Reel Clear is a system-driven solution that automates social distancing, eliminates player confusion, gives players greater control, and saves operators time and expense. With Reel Clear, when a player begins a gaming session, the slots on either side of the chosen machine are automatically placed out of play. When the session ends, adjacent machines automatically become available and the chosen slot is automatically placed in Cleaning Quarantine Mode. Easy-to-read messaging displayed on the nCompass unit gives greater confidence in the casino’s cleanliness and safety. A display shows when the game was last cleaned and allows the player to request cleaning again before play. An available web application shows the number of available devices v. capacity, so players can know before they go. Next, PlayerMax extends the player
experience beyond the four walls of the casino. The PlayerMax mobile app connects player to casino in engaging, meaningful, rewarding ways, providing a vital link in the effort to sustain customer engagement and enthusiasm by directly connecting the operator’s brand, both on-the-go and on property. PlayerMax delivers information
about their favorite casino property directly to each player on their own mobile phone and on demand. PlayerMax enhances the customer experience by empowering users to request a room, make a dining reservation, view loyalty balances, request win/loss statements, and even to continue their fun entertainment experience through freemium game play. Last, Oasis Performance Monitoring is a
dynamic, new, application suite that dramatically increases productivity by automating variance detection, drastically reduces root cause diagnostics, correlates performance metrics, as well as identifies application, network, communication performance problems. Powered by the best-in-class technology AppDynamics, Oasis Performance Monitoring proactively monitors an operator’s Oasis 360 system environment, including Oasis Core, Oasis Loyalty, and Oasis ONE LINK. The solution helps operators understand and optimize their business performance by empowering them with usable data based on continual examination of system applications. Oasis Performance Monitoring uses machine learning over time, which means it can dynamically modify metric baselines and deliver contextual insights on performance and business health.
