Slot manufacturer Aristocrat said its business performance in the Asia Pacific region was “strong” in 2015 financial year.

“Asia Pacific performance was strong, driven by new openings in Macau, where market leading ship share was achieved together with increased expansion activity outside of Macau,” the firm said in its annual report.

Two large new gaming facilities were opened in Macau during the year - Galaxy Entertainment Group’s Galaxy Macau phase two and Melco Crown’s Studio City.

Aristocrat added in its annual report: “The Good Fortune link with over 800 shipments throughout the Asia Pacific region continues to perform above floor average in all venues.”
