The Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas has partnered with Aristocrat Gaming to launch its new Dragon Lair gaming room, extending the property’s effort to combine “compelling game content” with enhanced casino environments. 

“Dragon Lair brings together compelling game content and an exciting environment to create an all-new destination on Rio’s buzzing casino floor,” Rio Hotel & Casino President and GM Rod Turlan said. 

“This continued collaboration with Aristocrat Gaming reflects our dedicated focus on introducing fresh experiences that give guests even more reasons to discover the new Rio.”

The Dragon Lair by Aristocrat Gaming space features both Dragon Link and Phoenix Link slot titles for casino players, building off the supplier’s Lightning Link series.

Aristocrat Gaming CCO of Americas Kurt Gissane also spoke on the new launch, having said, “We’re excited to collaborate with Rio to bring Dragon Lair to life and create an experience designed specifically for Aristocrat’s loyal players.

“By combining Rio’s vision with Aristocrat Gaming’s expansive portfolio of entertaining content, we’ve created a dedicated gaming destination that delivers energy, variety and excitement.”

In July, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas introduced its newly remodeled high-limit slots and video poker room for guests and casino players, featuring the first-ever $5m linked progressives from Aristocrat.

The $5m linked progressive jackpots represent the highest amount ever unveiled by Aristocrat, as one connects to two Dragon Link machines, while a second is attached to a Phoenix Link with a Lightning 10-Year Storm machine.

According to property executives, the redesign was part of a “lengthy planning process” which includes numerous revisions prior to construction officially beginning.
