The Best Performers … Do You Have Them?
As 2024 draws to a close, Ainsworth is looking back on a year full of changes, growth, and milestone achievements. The launch of the RAPTOR cabinet in late 2023 kicked off a pivotal year for the company; the cabinet launched with its San Fa titles, and that combination, both the cabinet and the games, have been topping best-performing lists ever since. It marks the launch of a new Ainsworth, a company that is repositioning itself for success in markets across the country with high-performing, entertaining game content on a technologically advanced cabinet. Entering 2025, Ainsworth is preparing for act two.
So Many Popular Games For 2025: Meet Rocket Frenzy
The company debuted multiple titles at this year’s Global Gaming Expo, and those are getting ready to hit floors in early 2025. First up is the hotly anticipated Rocket Frenzy. At G2E, Ainsworth polled casino operators who toured the booth, and found that over 50% of them chose Rocket Frenzy as their favorite game in the exhibit, and were looking forward to placing the game on their floors. Ainsworth has instituted a new 80% – 20% rule for its game development team – 80% of the games coming out of the company’s multiple studios will feature familiar, proven mechanics, and 20% will be “swings for the fences,” as Keith Kruczynski, VP of North American Studios, calls them. Those are the games that are unique, innovative, and unlike anything seen on a casino floor before. Rocket Frenzy, the first of the 20% games, looks to be a win already.
Designed to be a disruptor, Rocket Frenzy is exclusive to the RAPTOR cabinet. The game introduces a unique play mechanic, where players earn rewards by activating features on the screen with rockets. The more rockets the player collects, the greater the rewards. Featuring a unique game screen where rockets shoot up from the reels to unlock rewards on the top portion of the screen, the game does not look like anything else currently on casino floors.
What’s Next and a Big Thank You
Ainsworth’s game development strategy has become more focused and strategic over the past year as the company strives to create games that players love, and that will drive more revenue on casinos floors. In 2025 will see installs of the first games to come out of that process, and Ainsworth looks forward to delivering these and many more to come.
