Player's World By Demand

Aristocrat has covered the gamut of game styles over the years, and has created its share of new styles. Interestingly enough, this is the manufacturer’s first multi-game unit.

Created for the advanced Gen7 video platform and the slot-maker’s new cabinets-the network-ready Gen7, Mav500, MavSlim and Crown Slant-Player’s World By Demand places four popular Aristocrat base games in a multi-denominational package. For the first group of games to be offered in the new format, Aristocrat departs from longstanding practice by offering the player-selectable betting units in high denominations-quarters, 50 cents and dollars-and low-payline formats.

The first suite of games:

“Big Red”-a five-line video slot with a free-game bonus event. The free games are triggered by wild-symbol wins. When one or more kangaroo symbols substitutes in a win, five free games are awarded. A tree symbol in the free games repeats the triggering combination.

“Super Bucks IV”-a three-line video that allows the player to choose from three free game features, according to volatility. Scattered badge symbols during the free spins trigger additional free games.

“Fa Fa Fa”-a five-line video with a bonus feature that awards 10 free spins. A wild symbol is added with each successive free spin to the middle three reels, and the three wilds remain in place for the last five free games.

“Black Panther”-a straight five-line video in which the black panther symbol is wild.
