LAS VEGAS, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayAGS, Inc.
(NYSE: AGS) ("AGS" or the "Company"), a leading designer and
supplier of electronic gaming machines, table products, and
interactive solutions for the gaming industry, today announced the
launch of its new Orion Slant platform in Class II tribal
markets following its introduction in Class III markets in
May 2018. The Orion Slant is
now approved in more than 42 jurisdictions across North America.
The first Orion Slant cabinets for Class II were
installed at the Poarch Band of Creek Indians' Wind Creek
Hospitality locations last week in Atmore, Montgomery, and Wetumpka, Alabama. AGS currently has 15 Class
II slot titles available for the Orion Slant, with more
games in development.
AGS's Orion Slant cabinet is the newest member of its
Orion family, following the success of the award-winning
Orion Portrait platform introduced in 2017 and named one of
the top 20 most innovative gaming technology products of that
year.
Wind Creek Hospitality Corporate Director of Class II Gaming
Operations Trenton Daughtry said,
"We appreciate the opportunity to be the first property to install
the Class II version of AGS's Orion Slant. We pride
ourselves on striking a good balance between player-favorite
classics and new products; this is an exciting opportunity to offer
an eye-catching new platform and new game content to our
players."
Although only introduced in Class III markets in May 2018, by August 31,
2018 there were already 630 Orion Slant units installed in
62 casino properties across North
America. AGS introduced the sophisticated platform with
three engaging titles – Dragon Fa, Phoenix Fa, and
Tiger Fa. These high-volatility Asian-themed games feature
AGS's Xtreme Jackpots local-area progressives, PowerX
Stream Evaluation, up to 10 free spins, and a progressive pick
bonus. The Company recently added four additional titles– Aztec
Gold, Fu Nan Fu Nu Lucky Dragons, Toro Gordo, and Vegas Gold – and will
have a library of nearly 30 titles by the end of 2018.
AGS Senior Vice President of Slot Products Andrew Burke said, "We soft-launched the
Orion Slant a couple months ago and it is already outpacing
our expectations. The Orion Slant's presentation
package, with its unique starwall design in a lower-profile
cabinet, attracts players from across the casino floor, and the
games available for the platform combine to deliver an exceptional
player experience."
The brilliantly engineered Orion Slant delivers dramatic
attraction and gameplay excitement, with an optional 21.5-inch LCD
HD topper; dual LCD HD monitors; an optional ergonomic LCD digital
multi-touch button deck; and a U-shaped starwall design featuring
420 game-synchronized full-color LED lights for an innovative
gameplay celebration.
The starwall's striking ring of emotive lights surrounds the
Orion Slant's gameplay HD LCD touchscreen
monitor and can be configured to change colors and patterns on each
machine or across entire banks for an engaging experience that
corresponds to each feature within the game. The latest HD audio,
along with a self-contained subwoofer, intensifies gameplay with a
cinematic theater surround-sound experience.
The cabinet also features a USB charging port; large button deck
for increased player comfort; and an optional 10.1-inch LCD button
panel for a familiar digital multi-touch player user interface.
To help gaming operators effectively manage labor costs, the
Orion Slant is engineered with a design that makes
maintenance and service faster and easier, including centrally
located locks, full-service access, and a uniquely engineered latch
pin design.
