Casino equipment supplier Aristocrat Gaming announced on Tuesday the launch of the “Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Firecracker Express” game (pictured), part of the brand’s ‘Bao Zhu Zhao Fu’ family of games.
The new game is already available on casino floors across North America, said the gaming supplier in a Tuesday press release.
The firm said Firecracker Express – available on the group’s King Max cabinet – represents a “bold new chapter in the legacy of Bao Zhu Zhao Fu, now featuring a “premium format”.
Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Firecracker Express launched with two game titles: “Red Empire”, and “Purple Empire”; each with six unique ‘Hold & Spin’ features, said the update from Aristocrat Gaming, the land-based business unit of Australia-listed Aristocrat Leisure Ltd.
The announcement cited Craig Toner, Aristocrat Gaming’s chief executive, as saying that the Bao Zhu Zhao Fu family of games had “become a player favourite around the globe,” and one of the group’s “strongest proprietary brands”.
“We are thrilled to now offer our customers this new version in a lease format on the eye-catching King Max cabinet,” he stated.
Mr Toner added: “The presentation makes the most of the [game’s mechanics] quintuple metamorphic action and will excite both existing and new Bao Zhu Zhao Fu fans.”
Each of the two Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Firecracker Express games offers five distinct triggers with overlapping features “that players love for the chance at big win potential,” Aristocrat Gaming noted.
“Like its Firecracker Fortunes predecessor, this game includes the Firecracker Express feature-in-feature with an additional Hold & Spin with large prizes,” the firm added.
