Aruze Gaming Brings Dazzling Muso Dragon to European Market

Muso Curve-43 slot package revealed at the 2023 ICE trade show

LONDON—Feb. 10, 2023—Aruze Gaming Europe (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today announced the arrival of its Muso Dragon sign package in the European market. This is the first time the signage will be available to European casinos and resorts. 

A Modern Banking Design with Classic Casino Flare 

The Muso Dragon is a sparkling red and gold dragon-themed bank signage option for the Muso Curve-43 cabinet. With a unique molded design, the Muso Dragon pulls in players with its bright accentures making it a design staple for any casino floor. The bank perfectly spaces out cabinets, giving players room to enjoy their gameplay without sacrificing the sense of community and camaraderie many come to expect from casino floors. 

The high-impact signage allows for three unique layouts in a 4-, 6- or 8-POD option. All installations are performed by Aruze technicians ensuring that games are equipped and prepared for immediate gameplay. 

“The Muso Dragon is one of the most nostalgic and beautiful banking designs on the market. Its brightly themed motifs appeal to those who long for a classic casino experience,” said David Meacher, European business development director of Aruze. “Surrounded by gold coins and a lucky dragon — players can’t help but be transported elsewhere. The bank and signage is a symbol of big winnings and great fortunes.” 

High-Value, High-Volume Slots

The banks accentuate Aruze’s Muso Curve-43, and the banks provide mass comfort and can be programmed with video slot titles that compliment the signage. Historically, games that are presented on the Muso Dragon perform better than those that stand alone. With high-performance signage, these games are geared toward high-volume players and legacy casino patrons. 

The availability of the Muso Dragon package in this new market comes on the heels of the announcement of Aruze’s first European office. The expansion of Aruze’s offices to Europe furthers the company’s mission to be a global provider of casino solutions. 

Aruze will be displaying the Muso Curve 43 on the Muso Dragon at ICE 2023, located at booth S9-330.

Aruze Gaming Debuts Award-Winning Go Go Claw in Europe with Two Major Installaments

Installation Brings Aruze’s Activ-Play™ Technology to Europe Ahead of ICE 2023

LONDON—February 8, 2023—Aruze Gaming Europe (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today announced the arrival of its 2022 GGA Product Innovation of the Year Activ-Play™ slot Go Go Claw in Europe with two major installments in France. The game is now on display for sale in Europe for the first time at the 2023 ICE trade show. 

The French installments mark the first placements of Go Go Claw coordinated by the company’s recently established European office with key assistance from French distributor SFM CAT. Go Go Claw is now available for play at Partouche Casino Aux-En-Provence and Barriere Casino Enghien les Bains. 

A Milestone in Innovative Gaming for Europe

“This installment is a huge milestone for us, and for gaming in Europe overall. Across Europe, so much of the European casino experience is based on legacy games and companies — it’s exciting to introduce something completely new,” said David Meacher, European business development director at Aruze Gaming. “We’re grateful to both of the casinos who are willing to take the plunge into something never seen before in Europe. Go Go Claw is an amazing title, designed for a new generation of player — we’re certain it will be a hit.” 

To operate the slot, players select a bet amount, maneuver a physical claw, and attempt to grab one of the many balls and bring it to the bin, where the captured ball’s value-varied prize is revealed. This lively and innovative take on a traditional slot machine captures the attention of all who encounter it. Go Go Claw has two theme variations, Go Go Claw: Gold Bars and Go Go Claw: Cash Grab, and can be customized to suit the casino it is housed in. 

Activ-Play™ Technology Blends Casinos and Arcades

Go Go Claw is a part of Aruze’s Activ-Play™ line, a series of games that blend casino technology with the nostalgic, fun and interactive nature of an arcade. Each game operates on the same RNG algorithm as a slot machine, but players get to participate in their betting experience instead of pushing a button and watching their bet spin on a series of wheels. Along with Go Go Claw, Aruze offers several ETGs through its Activ-Play™ portfolio, as well as Rock, Paper, Scissors Instant Win. 

These installations come just weeks after the announcement of Aruze’s first European office. The expansion of Aruze’s offices to Europe furthers the company’s mission to be a global provider of casino solutions. Aruze will be displaying Go Go Claw along with several other titles at ICE 2023, located at booth S9- 330.

Aruze Gaming Debuts Suite of iGaming Titles in European Market Following Malta Launch

iGaming presence to expand internationally beginning with Europe

LONDON — Feb. 7, 2023 — Aruze Gaming Europe (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today debuted several of its iGaming titles in the European market, beginning with Malta. In addition to this launch in Malta, Aruze is targeting a February launch in the UK with multiple operators. 

Aruze iGaming recently debuted in Malta through a partnership with 1X2 Network and Gromada, which features five Aruze titles that are available to play. Aruze currently has over 30 titles available in New Jersey, which will be rolled out to the European market pending approvals.

Aruze will continue to target iGaming growth alongside brick-and-mortar growth in 2023 to include more jurisdictions in Europe, Canada, Latin America, and the US. In these jurisdictions, Aruze will build on existing operator relationships, as well as new ones, to bring Aruze’s engaging and fun titles to players in the comfort of their own home, or on the go. 

“We firmly believe that the future of casino gaming is not a ‘winner-takes-all’ between iGaming and brick-and-mortar. Successful casino gaming is actually a blend of the two; and, at Aruze, we’re making this blend our top priority for 2023.” said Kurt Hansen, vice president of iGaming. “Our new office in Europe shows our localized focus for that region, which will include expanding our iGaming presence and bringing instant winnings and on the go fun to our European players.”

Aruze’s approach to traditional and non-traditional fun alike is not just limited to its casino games. Several of Aruze’s iGaming titles are adapted from its suite of esteemed floor titles, as well as some iGaming originals.

All games that are already approved, as well as new games that are under development will be on display and demoed at ICE 2023, as well as Aruze’s brick-and-mortar products at booth S9-330.

 Restructuring to commence via Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing

LAS VEGAS—FEB. 1, 2023—Aruze Gaming (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today announced it has filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the State of Nevada.

We fully understand the implications associated with this action, but we believe this is the best way for Aruze to maintain the overall health of our business,” said Global CEO Yugo Kinoshita. “This restructuring has no reflection on the health of Aruze. We’re proud of the advances we have made to establish Aruze as a casino mainstay. We are highly confident this action will protect our brand, our legacy and our suite of games. As we progress through this process, we are assured that Aruze will emerge as an even stronger company.”
