Aristocrat Gaming is rolling out an exciting collection of new For Sale Link games in Europe, set to bring a new level of energy to gaming floors across the region.

Joining the growing list of For Sale Links, which offer customers ownership of Aristocrat content with optional centerpiece packaging, are:

Jin Cai Hao Yun: A For Sale Link that meshes the popular Choy character with 5 Dragons in two distinct settings: Red and Yellow editions, each offering Lucky Zone free game bonuses with expanding and sliding wilds. The popular Hold ‘n Spin feature progressively unlocks more room for Cash-on-Reels tokens, as well as boasting a repeat win mechanic, with a Super Feature unlocking all rows from the start.

Scorchin’ Fortune: Aristocrat’s first multigame For Sale Link introduced in Europe, features three flaming hot 25/50 line base games: Prosperity of the Nile, Tiki Blast and Sky Temple, as well as a Hold ‘n Spin feature. Player-selectable low and mid-denom ranges are available, complementing a selection of operator-configurable grand progressive start-up values.

“Our focus on the For Sale Link segment is driven by our customers’ feedback and their desire to own some of the top Aristocrat games to expand their offering to players. With this, we are on a continued mission to expand our portfolio and deliver on the promise to invest in the EMEA region,” said Marcel Heutmekers, VP of Sales and Operations in EMEA for Aristocrat Gaming.

Earlier this year, Aristocrat Gaming launched For Sale Link titles – Flamin’ Fortune and Mo’ Mummy in Europe. Flamin’ Fortune 50 Lions and Queen of The Nile, appear on the MarsX Portrait cabinet and entertain players with traditional free game bonus features and a new Hold ‘n Spin feature with repeat wins.

Mo’ Mummy: Housed on the MarsX dual screen cabinet, offers players a choice of two base game themes – Mighty Pyramid, inspired by the great pyramids of Egypt – and the Inca-inspired game, Valley of Riches. Mo’ Mummy combines a triple metamorphic and an innovative take on Hold ‘n Spin mechanics through its cash collection feature. In this feature, players can grow ‘zone of pays’ by landing Cash-on-Reels tokens, or metamorphically trigger free games or a jackpot pick ’em feature.

These games and more for EMEA will be featured in the Aristocrat Gaming booth at The Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas from 9 October to 12 October 2023.

Flexion Reports Revenue Increase of 9% for 2024

Flexion, the games marketing company, has announced that its revenue grew 9% to year-end December 2024. The growth is attributed to the Company’s success in the alternative app store market.

Since its IPO in 2018, the company has built a well-positioned games marketing business around the alternative stores and grown annual revenue 50-fold to almost US$100 million. Its game portfolio represents several billion US$ in gaming IP for alternative market partners like Samsung, Amazon, Huawei, OneStore and Xiaomi.

“With the Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into force in Europe and recent legal actions in the US, mobile game developers have felt a new-found freedom to explore their market options. We’ve already moved beyond the era when Google and Apple controlled everything. Developers are looking for alternatives that offer better margins, and additional audiences and revenue. Partnering with Flexion opens up a range of market channels with very little up-front investment,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion.

Flexion currently distributes more than 30 high-profile titles on the alternative stores. Top-tier games in the Flexion portfolio make on average US$ 10 million a year based on Q4 2024 run rate. That’s income in addition to their Google and Apple revenue with a business model that adds little to their costs.

In Q4 2024, Flexion-serviced games were, on average, generating 9.3% through the alternative stores of the revenue they made on Google Play. This is a significant boost for Flexion’s partners without major costs or effort.

“If you scale for the size of the stores, the alternatives massively out-performed Google in Q4 for our games. This is exciting both for Flexion’s business and for the future of the games industry as a whole. We’re seeing the beginning of a sea change in games marketing,” Jens said.

“We’re seeing just the beginnings of a major shift in how top-tier developers address their markets. Using Flexion to access alternative stores is an easy first step into the post- Google and Apple world. Many developers are already looking at their options beyond that and Flexion will be right there with them providing the technology and expertise they need to maximise the potential of their games,” Jens added.
