Aristocrat Gaming has launched its $1m Dragon Link slot at Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant, marking the first time the linked progressive title has gone live in Oklahoma.
The supplier said the game is now installed in the Link Casino at the Oklahoma property, where it expands on the wider Dragon Link franchise with a high-denomination format and a starting linked jackpot of $1m.
Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant is one of the largest casino resorts in the state, with more than 7,400 slot machines alongside table games, poker and a non-smoking gaming area. The property is located in southeastern Oklahoma, about an hour north of the Dallas Fort Worth metro area.
The $1m Dragon Link setup includes four themes. Happy & Prosperous, Golden Century, Autumn Moon and Panda Magic. Aristocrat Gaming said the games run on its MarsX Upright cabinet.
According to the release, the game has a $5 minimum bet and a maximum bet of $1,000.
The launch adds another title to Aristocrat Gaming's land-based slot portfolio in the US market, where Dragon Link has already established a large installed footprint.
The supplier described the new format as an extension of the franchise into a higher-denomination category.
Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant Assistant General Manager, Kaley Lehew, said: "At Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant we’re always looking for opportunities to bring our guests new, exciting games, and $1m Dragon Link is a perfect example of that."
Aristocrat Gaming Chief Revenue Officer, Kurt Gissane, said: "Developed directly from player and customer feedback, the $1m Dragon Link progressive jackpot reflects strong demand."
The supplier also noted that Dragon Link Happy & Prosperous has previously been named Top Performing Premium Game and Top Performing Proprietary Branded Game in the EKG Slot Awards.
In February, Aristocrat expanded its land-based technology business through the acquisition of Gaming Analytics, a US-based developer of player analytics and slot optimization tools. The deal added AI-driven real-time analytics, marketing tools and a 30-person team to Aristocrat's operations.
Choctaw Casino & Resort also includes more than 1,600 rooms and suites, 20 restaurants and 20 bars and lounges
