The Casino di Venezia in Italy is to become the first venue in Europe to offer its players a multitude of Aristocrat games through the downloadable solution Aristocrat On Demand.
The initial installation, due to go live in early June, will comprise 20 gaming machines, each capable of hosting any of over 60 current library games, with more titles scheduled to be added to the roster over the coming months. Casino di Venezia gaming director Stefano Silvestri explained that the selection was made based both on historic game performance and system flexibility.
“Our regular players have a great affinity for Aristocrat games with some of our best performing slots including some of the older classics, the more recent Wonder 4 Multi-Play series and right now the latest E*Series entertainment games,” he said.
“To be able to add more playing positions of these popular games at peak times with just the press of a few buttons is a win-win scenario. It also brings us the opportunity to call up specifically themed games for events and promotions throughout the calendar.
“The thick client aspect is also important for minimising machine downtime, with game play able to continue even in the case of network interruptions.” Aristocrat’s European sales and marketing director, Donal Maguire, said: “We are delighted that the world’s oldest casino, established in 1638, has shown such a pioneering vision to spearhead this new technology and we look forward to working closely with Casino di Venezia to maximise its full potential.”
