"We are pleased to have had two of our exciting products selected out of a strong field of entrants in this year's competition," said Steve Walther, Vice-President Marketing. "The gold award selection for Amazon Fishing recognizes Aruze's commitment to build innovative products that engage players in exciting new ways."
Amazon Fishing is a six-seat communal link game that offers multiple bonus events, Reel Feel Gaming Technology and the ability for players to select their own bait which impacts the volatility of the game play. Larger bait "attracts" less frequent but larger wins, while smaller bait attracts smaller wins more frequently.
Rich Life features two machines in front of a 60-inch monitor, which displays a large game board that tracks player movements throughout the play experience. When the feature triggers, the player selectable character moves along the board revealing a variety of interactive events. Players also battle head-to-head in a randomly triggered Versus Event where the choices of one player can affect the awards of the other.
