Aristocrat Debuts NFL-Licensed Slot Machines At G2E Show In Time For NFL Season, Super Bowl In Las Vegas

A year ago, Aristocrat’s work on its NFL-theme slot machines was hush-hush at the big gambling industry convention known as G2E (Global Gaming Expo) here in Las Vegas.
Not so Wednesday, when Aristocrat CEO Hector Fernandez chatted with LVSportsBiz.com about the launch of the company’s six unique slot machines that are NFL-licensed.
Aristocrat, which has a facility off the 215 beltway in Summerlin, was taking orders at G2E after the first slot machines found their way into casinos from Mohegan Sun and Oklahoma to California and Las Vegas spots like Resorts World, Palms, Treasure Island and the Venetian, Fernandez said.
The machines were on display and clients were told the NFL-theme slot machines could be delivered as early as late December or early January.
After first rolling out a game called, “Super Bowl Jackpots,” Aristocrat has five other slot machines:
- Overtime Cash™ (Class III): On the all-new Marquis cabinet, this classic styled high-limit mechanical reel game has the excitement of a real football game, offering features tailored to NFL fans. Players have a chance for a losing spin to be “intercepted” into a winning one, a wheel with credit prizes, and the Overtime Cash feature played in four quarters.
- Super Bowl Link™ (Class III): Players can take their team to the Super Bowl on this title with multiple ways to win including three levels of Hold & Spin features and Wild Card Bonus.
- NFL Kickoff™ (Class II): The first bespoke NFL licensed title for Class II is available on the RELM XL 5-reel and creates a bonus opportunity to get players to the red zone for a chance to score a touchdown.
- Winning Drive™ (Class II): This title has six different features, each focusing on a different iconic element of football games including Championship Ring Hunt, Quarterback Pass, and player favorite Red Zone Spins.
- Rings of Victory™ (Class II): The RELM XL 3-reel title for Class II, features Rings of Victory where three different bonus wheels that can be combined with Red Zone Spins for casino players’ chance at huge wins including the Grand progressive jackpot and credit prizes.
The slot machines include NFL franchise marks, with the ability to pick your team and play your team as any of the 32 NFL teams. Images included team logos on rings and video of NFL plays on screens in front of game players.
