Sky River introduces Ainsworth’s Neon’s Bonus Blast to gaming floor

With 2,100 slot machines already in play and 400 more expected by January, Sky River Casino has added Neon’s Bonus Blast to its lineup, making it the first casino in Northern California to feature the premium title.

The game, developed by Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT), offers three planet-themed settings — Blazen, Lumina, and Geodia — and includes four progressive jackpots. Its Bonus Blast feature can increase rewards during play.

“We’re always looking to add fun and exhilarating new options to our popular slot machine mix, and Neon’s Bonus Blast delivers a new level of gaming entertainment,” said Michael J. Facenda, president of Sky River Casino. “We’re always rolling out new options to complement the wide variety of elevated entertainment and delicious dining, creating an all-around amazing experience.”

“Sky River has been a great partner to us,” said Sean Evans, vice president of sales, marketing, and product strategy at Ainsworth. “It’s a beautiful property that draws players from across Northern California, a key market for us, so it makes sense to debut our premium content there.

Neon’s Bonus Blast incorporates 15 independent reels with credit prizes and progressives. Players can trigger rewards by filling fuel tanks to unlock the Blue Blast and Red Blast features. Its sidekick character, EX7, can expand the reels to 30, increasing the number of play opportunities.

“With exciting features, engaging gameplay, and vibrant graphics, we’re confident it will deliver strong performance on the floor,” Evans added. “We’re looking forward to continued success with Sky River and bringing even more innovative experiences to their loyal customer base.”

Sky River has installed four units of the new game on its gaming floor. Members of the Sky River Rewards program will have an opportunity to try the new slot during a Free Slot Pull & Drawing on Sept. 4.
