Aristocrat’s Chief Inferno slot to launch at Sky River Casino on August 28

Sky River Casino in Elk Grove, California, will introduce Aristocrat Gaming's latest slot title, Chief Inferno, on August 28. The title extends the supplier’s Chief series, which has been a fixture in US regional casinos.

The slot incorporates returning multiplier stacks, an enhanced gold coin mechanic that produces larger Chief stacks, and a bonus meter system designed to increase engagement.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the new, high-energy slot game, Chief Inferno,” said Michael J. Facenda, president of Sky River Casino. “We continue to lead the way in Northern California when it comes to adding exciting, Las Vegas-style gaming options for our guests.”

Members of the casino’s loyalty program will have the opportunity to try the slot during a Free Slot Pull and Drawing scheduled for the launch date.

“The Chief game family continues to grow, and we’re pleased to partner with Sky River to introduce the all-new Chief Inferno,” said Kurt Gissane, Aristocrat Gaming’s chief revenue officer.

The release comes as Aristocrat continues to expand across US land-based and digital channels. In July, the company rolled out its PlayerMax mobile app, cardless payment solution, and systems products at Cliff Castle Casino in Arizona. That deployment followed a late-2024 agreement between the supplier and the tribal venue.

On the digital side, Aristocrat signed a six-year deal with the Michigan Lottery to provide its iLottery product suite beginning in 2026. Earlier this month, the company also entered into a licensing partnership with Hasbro, along with other suppliers, to add branded content to its portfolio.
