Rio Hotel & Casino opened Dragon Lair in its former poker room as a dedicated space for Aristocrat’s Dragon Link and Phoenix Link slots. The room combines themed game features with a refreshed environment to attract players on the off-Strip floor. The supplier-operator effort focuses on multi-denomination content built from the Lightning Link base.
SCCG Take — Off-Strip operators continue to reallocate floor space for branded zones that highlight specific supplier libraries to sustain traffic.
The Rio Hotel & Casino has opened Dragon Lair, a dedicated gaming room for Aristocrat Gaming slot titles, in the former poker room at the off-Strip Las Vegas property.
“Dragon Lair brings together compelling game content and an exciting environment to create an all-new destination on Rio’s buzzing casino floor,” said Rod Turlan, president and general manager of Rio Hotel & Casino. “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.”
Dragon Link and Phoenix Link build off the Lightning Link title. Dragon Link adds an Orb trigger symbol across Hold & Spin features. Phoenix Link applies twists to Hold & Spin with scaling Grand and Major jackpots, Free Games, Wild Multipliers, and Twin Spins. Both operate as multi-denomination games.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Rio to bring Dragon Lair to life and create an experience designed specifically for Aristocrat’s loyal players,” said Kurt Gissane, chief commercial officer, Americas at Aristocrat. “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.”
This development, according to reporting by CDC Gaming, converts existing space into a targeted slot environment at the Rio.
