Aristocrat announced that the company was the first international slot and online technology company to be granted a Gaming-Related Vendor license by The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the federal entity overseeing commercial gaming activities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This announcement grants Aristocrat the ability to provide the company’s land-based electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and online games and technology solutions to commercial gaming operators licensed by the GCGRA. The issuance of the license marks a new milestone in the GCGRA’s endeavour to establish a well-regulated commercial gaming sector in the market.

As a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of regulated land-based slot games, Aristocrat will operate under the “Gaming Related Vendor License” category. As the GCGRA’s first supplier to obtain the license, the company will offer world-class gaming content, hardware, and services to cater to player interests and financial preferences.

“We are honored to be the first large, international technology provider to be awarded a gaming-related vendor license to serve the UAE market. At Aristocrat, our vision is to deliver the best seat in the house wherever, and whenever the world plays. We look forward to doing so by providing premium content for players in the UAE while simultaneously encouraging responsible gameplay,” said Hector Fernandez, CEO, Gaming for Aristocrat.

Anaxi, Aristocrat’s online Real Money Gaming division, announced the launch of its Mobile on-Premise solution for tribal gaming operators looking to enhance entertainment experiences. Through Anaxi’s Mobile on-Premise solution, casino guests on trust land now have the ability to connect to iconic Aristocrat’s Class-II gaming content via their mobile devices.

“Our commitment to both guest and operator experience is at the heart of everything we do. Groundbreaking partnerships of this kind are the driving force in continuing to move our industry forward, and we’re eager to see our Mobile on-Premise solution now live, helping elevate the gaming experience offered by tribal gaming operators. We also thank our integration partners that have been part of this journey, helping to deliver this innovation solution,” said Josh Morris, SVP iGaming Product & Technology at Anaxi.

Through this collaborative partnership with WinStar World Casino and Resort, Anaxi’s Mobile on-Premise solution brings three of Aristocrat’s famous Class II titles Mr. Money Bags, Polar High Roller and Hot Red Ruby, to the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma through a new digital experience. Currently live with these three initial titles, Anaxi and WinStar plan to make new content available over time to ensure players receive an ever-evolving entertainment experience. By recreating the casino floor in the palm of your hand and delivering familiarity, Mobile on-Premise guarantees easy adaptation for both operators and players alike.

“We are constantly looking to improve the player experience across our properties. The approval last year by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) for alternate technical standards for the Chickasaw Nation Office of the Gaming Commissioners (CNOGC) applicable to Class II mobile gaming provides us with the flexibility to take advantage of modern technology. There’s no denying that the mobile gaming trend is here to stay, so we’re thrilled to launch this first-ever mobile offering with our WinStar guests and look forward to expanding upon this partnership with Anaxi in the future,” Dan Boren, Chickasaw Nation Secretary of Commerce, said.

This new partnership with Anaxi and WinStar builds on the long-standing and proud relationship between the Chickasaw Nation and Aristocrat Leisure Limited.
