GARY, IN – Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana is celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the snake, beginning January 29 and continuing through February 1. Lunar New Year decorations, special menu items, and new Asian-themed games will be introduced to the casino floor as part of the celebration.
Four new sets of Asian-themed games have been added to the casino’s offerings, including Phoenix Link™, manufactured by Aristocrat Gaming, which features stunning graphics and bonuses across four new titles. General Tso™ and Confucius Say™ feature ‘twin spins’ for the chance to trigger the hold-and-spin while Queen Chiu™ and Sensei Master™ feature wild 2x multipliers. Every Phoenix symbol collected adds to the bonus counter for the chance to trigger a hold-and-spin. Phoenix Link brings more fire to the favorite hold-and-spin feature with the chance to double or triple Mini, Minor, and Major prizes. General Tso and Confucius Say feature twin spins for the chance to trigger the hold-and-spin while Queen Chiu and Sensei Master feature wild 2x multipliers.
Hard Rock will also debut Ju Cai Jin Gui™, Aristocrat Gaming’s newest game group that honors the legacy of Fu Dai Lian Lian™ and adds a fourth metamorphic to the gameplay. Using the Baron Upright cabinet, it features two distinct themes and experiences: choose cash-on-reels in Dragon™, while Ingot™ boasts boosted wild multipliers. Red, purple, green, or blue – a colored coin onscreen means triggering free games and other features like sticky wilds, symbol upgrades, jackpot feature, and double window.
Additionally, the new Triple Supreme Xtreme™ by Aristocrat Gaming combines ‘match 3’ jackpot, ‘choose Your volatility’ free games and hold-and-spin into one action-packed triple feature. Players can choose a multitude of options for free games on different reel sizes. Grand Prosperity and Heart of the Sea themes are featured.
