Aristocrat a Double Winner in Casino Journal's Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Awards

Win Your Way(TM) and Nteractiv(TM) LCD Programmable Buttons Win Honors


LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Apr 18, 2011) - Riding a wave of recent success that started at G2E 2010 and has continued through the recent NIGA trade show, Aristocrat Technologies has scored a double win in Casino Journal's annual "Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Awards." Aristocrat's all-new game category Win Your Way™ and its industry-exclusive Nteractiv™ LCD Programmable Buttons were both named to the list of most innovative technologies.

These wins continue a streak started earlier this month when Aristocrat's all-new game category Mega Pay™ was named to the Top Ten Slot Floor Products for 2011 in the fifth annual Casino Enterprise Management Slot Floor Technology Awards.

Win Your Way introduces an innovative style of play and an entirely new game category that puts more control in the player's hands. With Win Your Way, players chose one of three volatility levels: low (green), medium (yellow), and high (red). Players can easily identify their choice through user-friendly buttons and onscreen images. With Win Your Way, players choose their paytable and volatility level. A paytable in top screen indicates which of three pay tables are being played. Using the touchscreen meter or one of the three Win Your Way buttons, players select the play style they prefer. Only pays highlighted in the selected Win Your Way color are paid. Selected play style is indicated on the Win Your Way meter.

Nteractiv LCD Programmable buttons are Aristocrat's solution for downloadable and server-based product offerings providing a dynamic button panel enabling quick and easy game downloads. Nteractiv LCD Programmable buttons are specifically designed for the GEN7™ platform for compatibility with the VIRIDIAN WS™. With Nteractiv, the game comes to life at the player's fingertips as various messages are incorporated such as "good luck," coin showers, and more. In addition, select games have product-appropriate messaging that includes game specific graphics. The high quality images are produce using a small, dedicated LCD screen physically positioned under buttons.

Judging this year's contest were Gregg Solomon, CEO MotorCity Casino; Donne Grable, VP Gaming Operations, VCAT LLC; and Jay Fennel, COO at Club Fortune Casino and COO/Managing Director at Silver State Capital Advisors LLC.
