Aristocrat History

Aristocrat is one of the oldest operating companies in the gambling industry. It was established in 1953 by a man named Len Ainsworth. Yes, yes, this is the same Ainsworth who would later launch another industry giant, naming it in his honor.

Already in 1956, the developer released the first cult product - the Clubmaster machine, which surprised with a free play feature and an electromechanical drum. Already in the 60's Aristocrat expands the geography, appearing on the markets of Europe and Vegas. In the 70's the manufacturer surprises with the Wild West machine (released in 1979). Its peculiarity is five reels, which at that time was a great rarity.

In the 80s, the manufacturer opens an office in London and launches one of its most successful lines of slot machines - Microstar. The key innovations of the 90s are the MG Gaming System and the Hyperlink Gaming System. Full-fledged systems that simplified the integration and management of games. In 1996 Aristocrat Leisure becomes a publicly traded company.

Key events in the 2000s:

• 2000: obtaining a license from the Nevada government;
• 2005: entering the Chinese and Macau markets;
• 2008: entry into the Bulgarian market;
• 2011: launch of free online casino with developer's products in the US market;
• 2012: partnerships with Amaya and Openbet, which include the digitization of Aristocrat games and their appearance in numerous casinos;
• 2013: the launch of a Facebook app and a partnership with NYX;
• 2017: takeover of Big Fish Games for $990 million and Plarium for $500;
• 2018: the company's annual profit is $438 million.

Aristocrat is still active now, attending various trade shows and releasing new slot machines.

Best Aristocrat Slots

This developer is better known to the fans of land-based casinos than to the regulars of online sites. With the help of such partners as Openbet, Amaya, GameAccaount Network, NYX, the manufacturer manages to distribute its games in digital format. As mentioned above, Aristocrat Online is also engaged in the release of novelties.

What slot machines of the provider are best known to a wide audience? For example, the slot 50 Dragons. This is an apparatus for five reels in four rows and 50 paylines. Classic slot with low dispersion, which has a standard round with freespins. In its design and general appearance, it differs little from the classics of the early noughties from Amatic, Novomatic, Microgaming.

Another example of a popular classic is Queen of the Nile II ("Queen of the Nile 2"). Absolutely the same standard mechanics (except that the rows are three, not four), which is supported by a hot favorite Egyptian theme. The variance is average.

There are branded slots using trademarks:

• Walking Dead,
• Walking Dead 2,
• Britney Spears,
• Sons of Anarchy.

The Billions slot machine falls under the same category. The latter has not yet appeared in online format. Almost all of them contain MegaCash function (allows you to hit the jackpot), improved graphics, animations, special modes (wheel of fortune, moving drum, accumulative symbols). The problem is that Aristocrat is not in a hurry to share novelties with the online niche.

The old games are not particularly diverse, but may be interesting for those who have made the transition from offline to online environment.

Awards

During its existence the company has been honored with several dozens of awards - both for its developments in the gambling business and for its economic success. Let's take a look back at the main achievements of the last 10 years.
