Area dedicated to popular games from Aristocrat Gaming™ highlights major revamp of gaming floor with hundreds of traditional VLTs with popular themes
NASHUA, N.H. – Gate City Casino in Nashua on Nov. 17 celebrated the opening of the first Aristocrat Lounge in a New Hampshire casino and the completion of a major reconfiguration of its gaming floor with hundreds of traditional video lottery terminals (VLTs).
The casino last week completed the installation of both the Aristocrat Lounge and new VLTs to its gaming floor. The transition, which began in September, has seen more than 300 VLTs added at Gate City Casino, with a selection of the most popular historic horse racing (HHR) gaming machines still featured, all now available to experience in a more spacious and comfortable floor layout.
The Aristocrat Lounge is dedicated to popular games from Aristocrat Gaming, including Cash Express Legend™, Spooky Link™, Buffalo Ultimate Stampede™, Dragon Link™, and Whisker Wheels™. Dozens of other Aristocrat games are also available in other areas of the casino floor.
“Given the immense popularity of many of Aristocrat Gaming’s titles, we are thrilled to bring the first Aristocrat Lounge in New Hampshire to life for our guests at Gate City Casino,” said Andrew Gentile, general manager of Gate City Casino, which is owned and operated by global hospitality and entertainment company Delaware North. “The Aristocrat Lounge is an important part of the reconfiguration of our gaming floor with VLTs so that our guests can have more of a dynamic gaming machine experience.”
Delaware North has had great success with similar Aristocrat lounges it has brought to its two casinos in West Virginia – Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack and Mardi Gras Casino & Resort – including the first in the country at Wheeling Island.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Gate City Casino team to introduce the first Aristocrat Lounge in the state,” said Kurt Gissane, chief revenue officer for Aristocrat Gaming. “This has been a truly collaborative effort, and we can’t wait to see the continued excitement of players as they can play all their favorite Aristocrat titles in one vibrant, centralized destination.”
The change to VLTs was made possible by a new law governing the state’s highly successful charitable gaming program and introducing a new revenue-sharing system. VLTs use random number generation to determine payouts rather than the results of historic horse races, resulting in more chance, real-time outcomes. Gaming machine manufacturers also offer more titles and brands of slot machines than are available with HHR.
“Delaware North and Gate City Casino want to thank New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte, the legislature and the New Hampshire Lottery Commission for all they have done to enhance the state’s charitable gaming program,” Gentile said. “Combined with Delaware North’s investment in Gate City Casino, this will greatly benefit our charity partners.”
