Aristocrat Gaming is launching a new range of ANZ-centric titles at this year’s Australian Hospitality & Gaming Expo (AHG). Aristocrat Gaming’s new titles are to be launched on March 25-26 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, where they will display their new titles at stand 1 next to the Baron Upright cabinet, which has already carved a strong niche in Australia and New Zealand markets. The expo will serve as a platform for Aristocrat to highlight how its portfolio for clubs, hotels, and casinos in the region continues to grow.
According to the company, studio teams in Australia and overseas have been concentrating on creating content that launches first in the ANZ market. Managing Director for ANZ, David Ronson, said they are proud to finally present this ANZ‑first content to customers at the show. He also mentioned that there are currently over 10,000 Baron Upright cabinets in the Australian and New Zealand markets and that the company is keen to expand on this with a new batch of content to help venues take their business forward.
Among the new content that will be launched at AHG 2026 is Cash Express Legend and Dragon Vault. They will be joined by Cash Horns and Jackpot Tales, 2 game families that were rolled out in late February and are now getting their first major trade-show spotlight. Cash Express Legend takes a classic Aristocrat train‑themed game and refreshes it, bringing back the iconic feature with 4 trains, updated jackpots, and extra mechanics such as Repeat Win and a feature‑within‑a‑feature Hold & Spin. Dragon Vault, a strong performer in North America, has been redesigned specifically for Australian players, pairing Asian‑inspired visuals with a symbol-driven “Overlapping Bonuses” feature that feeds into upgraded Hold & Spin events.
Cash Horns is themed around charging bulls and is built with simple, easy‑to‑follow gameplay that still offers a multi‑level Hold & Spin element to keep players engaged. Jackpot Tales leans into classic story themes, pairing familiar narratives with modern slot mechanics as players chase golden treasure chests. Together, these games are aimed at giving players more variety while helping operators offer floors that feel current without losing the core styles their customers already enjoy.
Aristocrat is also using the expo to reassure operators that its existing titles are not being left behind. The company is continuing to support its current fleet, and new games for series such as Heaven and Earth and Thunder Empire X will also be on display in Brisbane. This allows venues to see how they can refresh or extend popular banks rather than replacing them outright.
Beyond the game content, Aristocrat’s systems arm will also have a presence through the Gaming Systems business of Aristocrat Interactive. It will demonstrate an all‑in‑one platform designed to improve the patron experience and streamline venue operations. The system covers player engagement tools, promotions, membership management, and real‑time gaming performance reporting. It is built to scale, so venues can add modules as their needs grow, whether they are running a small club or a large casino.
By combining new ANZ‑tailored games on the Baron Upright cabinet with ongoing support for existing titles and a stronger systems offering, Aristocrat’s appearance at AHG 2026 is firmly focused on giving operators in Australia and New Zealand more ways to compete and keep players coming back in an increasingly competitive hospitality and gaming market.
