AGS partnered with Sandia Resort & Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico to debut its newest slot game family, Mariachi Fortunes Trio to the market.

On November 1, the property hosted a festive Dia de los Muertos-themed launch celebration inspired by the game’s two energetic themes – Fiesta de los Vivos (the festival of the living) and Fiesta de las Calacas (the festival of the skeletons) inviting more than 300 VIPs and guests to explore the worlds of the living and the departed through exciting gameplay.

The event transformed the casino floor into a spirited celebration with Day of the Dead decor, live mariachi band, confetti cannons and stunning visuals throughout the property, bringing the game’s festive setting to life. VIP guests received themed giveaways and were among the first to experience Mariachi Fortunes Trio. During the VIP free-play event, more than 20 hand-pays were paid out totaling nearly $75,000. Additionally, AGS representatives, property executives, and Sandia Resort & Casino employees gathered to commemorate the occasion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

“Mariachi Fortunes Trio has seen tremendous success since its debut in July and continues to build momentum across the country,” said Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots, AGS. “These games – along with their immersive theme, rich features and stellar bonus options – being first to market in New Mexico is a celebration of the fan-favorite brand and our special partnership with Sandia.”

Mariachi Fortunes Trio was soft-launched on October 15 and will be available at Sandia for a limited time before expanding to casino floors across the region.

AGS announced it will showcase its latest lineup of high-performing Class II and Class III slot titles and table innovations at the 2025 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place July 14–16 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. This comes on the heels of the Company’s recent announcement that it is now privately held, following the completion of its acquisition by Brightstar Capital Partners.

Leading the slot lineup is So Hot Super 4 Legends, a brand-new multi-play experience debuting in Class II markets that lets players engage with four classic So Hot® titles at once on a single screen. With stacked wins and frequent bonus triggers, this high-energy game puts a fresh spin on iconic AGS hits that have long been staples in key Class II markets like Oklahoma.

AGS will also debut new titles spanning multiple Spectra cabinets, including:

• Triple Riches family: Transylvania Treasures
• Kraken Fortune’s family: Pirate Hoard
• Zodiac Strike family: Pegasus
• Dragon Blast® family: Mighty Lion
• Mariachi Fortunes Trio family: Fiesta De Los Vivos and Fiesta De Las Calacas
• Repeat Win Fusion family: Puurfect Trio and Fa Cai Trio

In the premium segment, AGS will spotlight Moo Cluck Oink®, now available in Class III and coming soon to Class II. This character-packed farm frenzy brings together the fan-favorite stars of Cluck Cluck Cash® and Moo Moo Madness, along with a few new barnyard personalities. The game’s playful crossover theming gives players a rare reunion of familiar favorites, wrapped in a brand-new experience.

Moo Cluck Oink is available on all AGS premium cabinets—Orion Curve Premium, Spectra UR43 Premium, and Spectra SL49+ Premium—and the large-format, specialty cabinet Spectra SL75+. Designed to support the entire Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased, Spectra SL75+ gives operators added flexibility to mix and match content to fit their unique casino floor.

AGS will also showcase its high-performing mechanical stepper lineup, led by the Revel® cabinet—the Company’s first entry into the mechanical stepper category—available in both Class II and Class III. At OIGA, attendees can experience Revel launch titles in Class II, including Liberty Diamond® and Triple Treasure®, along with Straight Cash Triple Double Spin, a new title set to release this quarter in both Class II and Class III. Returning to the lineup is the proven Gold Nudge®, delivering classic stepper appeal with a modern nudge feature.

On the table side, AGS continues to push boundaries with Bonus Spin Xtreme for Poker Rooms. Already a hit on main casino floors, Bonus Spin Xtreme now brings the same electrifying progressive action to poker rooms. It can be linked to a shared jackpot pool across multiple table types or configured as a standalone progressive. Live poker players who place the side bet have a chance to win the same life-changing prize as players on blackjack, craps, roulette, or pai gow. The result is one of the most dynamic and inclusive progressive systems in the industry.

With deep roots in Oklahoma, where AGS was founded and where its primary warehouse and production facility remain, AGS is energized to return to OIGA with a growing portfolio of player-favorite products and a continued commitment to serving the needs of tribal operators.
