Aristocrat Gaming has a major milestone in store for players in the Philippine gaming scene, with news of the installation of 270 slot machines in the newly expanded Hann Casino Resort Clark. Such a move is not purely a numbers game but rather a strategic boost in the entertainment offerings of the resort, with one of which is the local launch of its latest Asian-themed slot game, Tian Ci Jin Long.
A Significant Enhancement to Gaming Capability
The rollout of these new gaming machines happens during the official launch of the major expansion project for Hann Casino Resort. The resort has basically fired up its gaming offer by upgrading slot offerings by 50 percent and mass gaming tables by 40 percent. To recall, this resort had operated with 1,000 slots and 200 gaming tables before this major renovation. The integration of 270 Aristocrat gaming machines is a major factor in this expansion project, filling up the new area with a mix of proven performers and new content offerings to attract gaming enthusiasts.
Among those new installations are a number of heavy-hitters from Aristocrat. Players will be able to check out other favorites such as Dragon Link, Buffalo Gold Series, and Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Chapter 2 when they visit Hann. These games have already proven their worth in markets all across the globe and come to Hann with a demonstrated level of excellence.
Debuting Tian Ci Jin Long
One of the most interesting things in this rollout is the launch of Tian Ci Jin Long in the Philippine gaming market. Hann Casino Resort has earned the honor of being the first gaming facility in the country to provide players with access to this particular series. The game is based on a five-level hold & spin mechanism with an interesting Asian-themed setting incorporating elements such as dragons, coins, and magical symbols. Such visual settings have historically appealed well to local players. The mechanics allow players to collect dragon orbs, in turn, bring them free games with elevated multipliers and bonus chances.
Strategic Partnership and Design Vision
Lloyd Robson, the Senior Vice President of Asia and EMEA at Aristocrat Gaming, highlighted the significance of this deal. Mr. Lloyd described Hann Casino Resort as a major gaming facility in a message where he expressed pride in getting Aristocrat content onto its gaming floor. Mr. Lloyd’s comments highlight not only the significance of this deal but also of Aristocrat’s presence in Clark.
The other side of the expansion is with the casino operators. Dennis Andreaci, Senior Vice President of Casino Operations at Hann, described this expansion as a design statement rather than a passive expansion. Andreaci cited “The Canyon,” a gaming environment in this expansion, which he says is a special place inspired by nature, such as rock formations and water. While Andreaci imagines a place where a casino-goer can have a sophisticated and soothing atmosphere which is not present in conventional casino settings.
Observing with the Buffalo Series
To complete the launch celebrations, Aristocrat has kicked off a dedicated promotional event focusing on its flagship Buffalo game series. The promotional event launched by Aristocrat involves entertainment and giveaways on the gaming floor, thus creating an interesting element during the launch event. The company has stated that these promotional events will continue in the coming weeks to make sure that the launch buzz remains in the festivities during the holiday season.
