“We've modernized these games with multiple denomination choices and a Hold ‘n’ Spin feature, allowing players to select a denomination they’re at ease with while relishing the adrenaline of a Hold and Spin jackpot," shares John Stevanja, Director at Aristocrat. “Initially launched in the US, the Luxury line games are expected to resonate well in the ANZ market, potentially surpassing the original version.”

A notable focus of approval is the Hold ‘n’ Spin mechanic integral to these pokies. “There remains a vast appeal for the Hold ‘n’ Spin feature,” remarked Stevanja. “Players, and consequently the operators, are keen on this mechanic. We're anticipating its popularity to continue in the foreseeable future.”
