In Australia, gambling is a popular pastime among adults, making the local pokie market incredibly successful. So, it is no wonder that European countries – where gambling is a part of everyday life – would also be interested in poker machines from the country’s most talented manufacturers. This month, Aristocrat launched its first-ever poker machine made exclusively for Spanish bars.
Desert Magic is a dual-screen poker machine that presents barflies across Spain with an exciting gaming experience. The game’s physical design also consists of a sleek and modern cabinet, which will fit right amongst other established games in bars and clubs across the country. Additionally, Desert Magic operates exclusively via touch screen functions, enhancing the player experience and bringing bar gaming into the 21st century.
“Whilst retaining strong characteristics of Spain’s existing bar gaming style, Desert Magic is designed to give players a more engaging experience, with layers of additional gaming fun,” says Christian Colus of Aristocrat’s Southern European division. “Desert Magic’s complex maths and high definition widescreen animations combine to deliver a game that has all the ingredients set to change the gaming landscape in Spain”.
When it comes to bar games in Spain and other European markets, their quality leaves something to be desired. It is not uncommon for these games to be outdated, especially in comparison to the quality of games in land-based and online casinos. Aristocrat aims to raise the bar with the launch of its new and exciting poker machine. You can normally expect the same thing from bar games: a single payline with no bonus features.
Desert Magic introduces something new with multi-paylines and a number of generous bonuses for players to enjoy. Rather than offering up an experience that just helps to kill time, Aristocrat’s new bar game aims to engage the player and present them with the opportunity to win substantial cash prizes.
