ARISTOCRAT AT THE AHG<br />
FOO TOWN TIME<br />
<strong>QHA</strong> REVIEW | 10<br />
It’s hard to believe that we are only a month out<br />
from AHG 2018 where we will demonstrate that<br />
“it’s all about what’s inside”. We are excited to get<br />
the opportunity to showcase a variety of our new<br />
products across our various portfolio categories. A few<br />
highlights at the show for our Queensland operators<br />
include 5 Dragons Empire, Lightning Link Eyes<br />
of Fortune and <strong>Mag</strong>ic Totem and Welcome to<br />
Fantastic Jackpots to name a few.<br />
Experience 5 Dragons reincarnated like never before<br />
in 5 Dragons Empire at AHG. Entertain a variety of<br />
different players with a wide spread of denominations<br />
including never before offered 5c, 20c, 50c and<br />
$1 options. 5 Dragons Empire is available in our<br />
Helix, Helix+ and Helix XT cabinets.<br />
We’ve seen significant performance with the launch<br />
of Dragon Link Spring Festival and Peacock<br />
Princess performing at 2.59x and 2.55x respectively.<br />
There’s no doubt about how important it is to maintain<br />
the momentum within this category. We’re excited<br />
to showcase new Lightning Link titles, Eyes of<br />
Fortune and <strong>Mag</strong>ic Totem, at AHG.<br />
Building on the popular hold ‘n’ spin mechanic, we<br />
will debut Welcome to Fantastic Jackpots at AHG,<br />
which addresses the growing linked progressive<br />
segment. This Queensland first market product<br />
entertains a variety of players with player selectable<br />
multi denomination, scalable bonus prizes and cash on<br />
reels. Check out the two Vegas style launch themes,<br />
Fantastic Hits and Fantastic Pays, at the show.<br />
So, join Aristocrat at AHG 2018 as we showcase<br />
how “it’s all about what’s inside”. We look forward to<br />
strengthening our relationships with our Queensland<br />
customers even further and gaining your valuable<br />
feedback on our portfolio. See you at the show!<br />
What do you get when you are the world’s greatest<br />
rock band? A beer named after you.<br />
Sydney craft brewers Young Henrys have collaborated<br />
with none other than the Foo Fighters to create a<br />
limited edition beer while the juggernaut rolls around<br />
Australia.<br />
Foo Town lager is described as an easy-drinking, hazy<br />
Aussie lager which is light gold in colour with a light<br />
hop aroma and low to mid bitterness. It’s pouring at<br />
the official Sydney and Melbourne venues and will also<br />
be sold in cans through bottleshops and the brewery<br />
website.<br />
It follows a long line of musical collaborations for the<br />
Newtowners that’s taken in beers with the likes of You<br />
Am I, Front End Loader, Frenzal Rhomb, Dune Rats<br />
and PVT as well as supporting countless gigs and<br />
festivals.<br />
Young Henrys co-founder Oscar McMahon says:<br />
“Getting a call to say the Foo Fighters want to brew a<br />
beer with Young Henrys was huge for us.<br />
“It’s thanks to working with local legends that we’ve<br />
got the opportunity to brew a beer with one of the<br />
world’s best known rock bands.”
