Every year, the Goldman Sachs’ Slot Manager Survey determines which games are the most popular among casino players. For the past two years, Aristocrat’s Buffalo poker machine series earned top honours – and this year is no different. Buffalo Stampede is new to Aristocrat’s Buffalo series, but it offers up the same exciting experience and has been named the Top Performing Game in the 2014 Slot Manager Survey.
Buffalo Stampede is a new poker machine that builds on the success of Aristocrat’s original Buffalo game. The pokie comes equipped with a familiar theme but brand new gaming features that offer up big wins. In this game, players can benefit greatly from the Stampede feature, which sees a group of Buffalo charge across the screen leaving wild symbols in their wake.
There are two progressive jackpots available on the game, and expanding wilds help players trigger winning combinations. Thanks to these features, Buffalo continues its streak of being a top-performing gaming in land-based casinos. The game is so well-liked that it even out-performed, The Walking Dead, which was the biggest poker machine release of the year.
"This is exciting news, and just the beginning for Aristocrat,” says Rich Schneider, Chief Product Officer. “The games pipeline we are building is our best ever, with more major releases planned over the coming months that will only add to the breadth and quality of our new portfolio”. According to slot machine managers, Aristocrat pokies are the most profitable games of any supplier in the gambling market.
Their profits have seen a 15% increase over the course of the past year, and things can only go up from here. In fact, Aristocrat games perform so well that they keep casino managers coming back for more, always looking for Aristocrat games when making new purchases.
