“It hardly sounds possible, but in 12 months since the last AGE the pace of change across the Australian and New Zealand marketplace seems to have increased. Whether driven by technology, regulation, competition or simply evolving player preferences, the need to listen closely to our customers has never been greater. That’s what makes AGE such an important opportunity for Aristocrat. And at AGE 2014, we will be more focused than ever on listening to our customers and responding with a powerful portfolio that offers the best performance and most choice in the market,” sources of the firm said.
Once again, the premier trade show of Australia and New Zealand will be the launch pad for a thrilling portfolio of new games from Aristocrat, leveraging player and market trends.
Category management has been a key focus for our business over the past 12 to18 months, to ensure we deliver outstanding portfolio breadth and depth to our customers. This year we will showcase our strongest content line-up to date and display a range of exciting new technologies in games and systems. Several new product families will be exhibited, along with extensions to popular ranges, new link products and groundbreaking standalone games.

New this year will be Pure Gold, Weird Wicked & Wild and Lightning Cash, each offering their own unique innovation that can’t be missed.
