Gate City Casino, owned and operated by Delaware North, has become the first property in New Hampshire to launch an Aristocrat Lounge on its gaming floor, featuring well-known slot titles such as Cash Express Legend, Spooky Link and Buffalo Ultimate Stampede.
Gate City Casino GM Andrew Gentile shared his excitement for the new launch, having said, "Given the immense popularity of many of Aristocrat Gaming's titles, we are thrilled to bring the first Aristocrat Lounge in New Hampshire to life for our guests at Gate City Casino.
"The Aristocrat Lounge is an important part of the reconfiguration of our gaming floor with VLTs so that our guests can have more of a dynamic gaming machine experience."
Along with the debut of a new Aristocrat Lounge, Gate City Casino also completed the installation of over 300 video lottery terminals (VLTs) throughout its gaming floor, but will still maintain a selection of popular historical horse racing (HHR) machines for casino players.
Delaware North also unveiled Aristocrat Lounges at its Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack and Mardi Gras Casino & Resort properties in West Virginia, with the Wheeling Island activation representing the first Aristocrat Lounge launched across the US.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Gate City Casino team to introduce the first Aristocrat Lounge in the state," Aristocrat CRO Kurt Gissane said.
"This has been a truly collaborative effort, and we can't wait to see the continued excitement of players as they can play all their favorite Aristocrat titles in one vibrant, centralized destination."
The VLT transition was said to be made possible by recent West Virginia legislation which governs the state's charitable gaming program and introduces a new revenue-sharing system.
"Delaware North and Gate City Casino want to thank New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte, the legislature and the New Hampshire Lottery Commission for all they have done to enhance the state's charitable gaming program," Gentile said.
"Combined with Delaware North's investment in Gate City Casino, this will greatly benefit our charity partners."
Gate City Casino also features 19 table games including roulette, craps, blackjack, face-up Pai Gow, mini Baccarat and Spanish 21, as well as a 15-table poker room and DraftKings sportsbook.
Aristocrat appointed Michael Daly as SVP of Business Development & Strategic Execution - Global on October 7, adding yet another senior executive to its leadership team during a period of organizational restructuring
