Aristocrat presents new The Baron Upright in Europe
Aristocrat Gaming, a leading developer of gaming technology, has made a significant entry into the European market with the launch of its new land-based slot machine, "The Baron Upright." This innovative slot machine was installed in seven different European locations within a matter of days, including Albania, France, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, and on European cruise ships.
The Baron Upright features advanced technological features that elevate the gaming experience to a new level. The dual-screen cabinet features integrated dynamic lighting, advanced display monitors, and a sleek design that enhances the casino atmosphere. A discreet soundbar, two top monitor speakers, and a subwoofer within the cabinet provide an enhanced audio experience.
These games expand on the popular "Red and Blue Festival" base game, adding a fourth Metamorphic feature and a new Quad Metamorphic trigger in the base game. Players have the opportunity to trigger additional Metamorphics in the Bonus Hold & Spin feature.
Change of leadership at Aristocrat Gaming
Parallel to the product launch, there were significant changes in Aristocrat Gaming's leadership. In December 2024, Hector Fernandez, who had served as CEO of Aristocrat Gaming since 2022, stepped down to lead the combined company of IGT and Everi. His successor is Craig Toner, a long-time member of the company who previously served as CFO and Executive Vice President of Operations. Toner brings over seven years of experience at Aristocrat and has contributed significantly to the company's growth and transformation during this time.
Details about The Baron Upright slot machine
The Baron Upright is designed to provide gamers with an immersive and entertaining experience. The chassis features a floating virtual keypad made of 2,85 mm Gorilla Glass, which is not only durable but also offers a modern aesthetic. The five-channel surround sound system, consisting of a discreet soundbar in the player tracking panel, two upper monitor speakers, and a subwoofer, ensures an immersive audio experience. Gen 10 electronics enable faster boot times and reliable performance, increasing gamer comfort.
The machine's sophisticated design includes an integrated candle and a lowered cabinet profile to improve sightlines. The 27-inch LCD topper can be integrated with gameplay and jackpot features or removed to accommodate different ceiling heights and meet the requirements of the casino floor.
The games based on the Baron Upright are designed to keep players engaged for the long term. Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Ignite, for example, offers two exciting game themes: "Blue Prosperity" and "Red Prosperity." Both versions utilize the innovative Quad Metamorphic feature, which combines four features into one ultimate package, enabling 15 different bonus combinations.
For the first time in the Bao Zhu Zhao Fu series, players can unlock additional features during their bonuses, meaning each firework feature can lead to four features. A new Omni symbol fires rockets at all four fireworks simultaneously, creating the potential to trigger all four bonus features simultaneously.
With these advanced features and thoughtful design, the Baron Upright sets new standards in the slot machine industry, offering both operators and players an unparalleled experience.
