Sleek and sophisticated is how Aristocrat defines its latest Agassi-themed progressive jackpot video slot machines. Launched June 7 at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the interactive colours and animated graphics are set to make the game a favourite with players. Approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the Agassi video slots will be making their debut at various casinos in Las Vegas and Reno, including Station Casinos’ eight Station and Fiesta brand venues in the Las Vegas valley.

Attention to detail has been paramount in the production of Aristocrat’s tennis game, and the designers have worked closely with Agassi and his team to ensure that the end result is not only sheer entertainment but also meets the high standards of Andre Agassi and reflects his reputation for excellence. The winner of all four Grand Slam tournaments and an Olympic gold medal, Agassi said, “Aristocrat’s game designers truly outdid themselves with the design and entertainment aspects of the game.”

Andre Agassi, wife Steffi Graph and their two children have made Las Vegas their home. The Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation (AACF) was established to “make the world the way it ought to be” and benefits children-oriented programmes, providing recreational and educational opportunities for at-risk, abused and underprivileged boys and girls within the Las Vegas community. The annual Grand Slam for Children event has raised over $50 million for charity since it started nine years ago. A percentage of the revenues from the games and licence fees will go to the Foundation, and anyone using the machines will know that their play will assist the charity.

Aristocrat Technologies is a subsidiary of Aristocrat Leisure Limited, an Australian Stock Exchange listed company. The company’s unique approach to game design and math modelling make its slot machines popular with players. The Agassi games include a stand-alone, two level progressive that delivers frequent wins and that with an additional wager gives a choice of four mystery bonus games incorporating multipliers, free games and player’s choice features. As Kent Young, Aristocrat’s Vice President, Marketing says, “The cabinet design, when combined with our bonus and progressive features and Agassi’s globally recognized image, gives these games the strong potential to perform very well for casino operators.” (E-06.09.05)
