Aruze’s Dragon Sic Bo and Gong Cash Slot Series Headline 2023 Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific Shortlist
Nominated products for Table Game and Casino Product of the Year exemplify Aruze’s promises of fun, innovation, and quality
Aruze Gaming (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today announced two official shortlist nominations, Dragon Sic Bo for Table Game of the Year and the Gong Cash Slot Series for Casino Product of the Year, for the 2023 Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific. These nominations come following Go Go Claw’s victory for Product Innovation of the Year at the 2022 Global Gaming Awards in Las Vegas.
“The Asia-Pacific region is crucial to our global mission, and our successes in this market are instrumental for Aruze as a whole,” said Kevin Lee, general manager of Aruze Gaming. “At Aruze, our number one goal is to provide a fun and unique gambling experience for every type of casino goer. Dragon Sic Bo and the Gong Cash Slot Series reflect this: both titles represent core elements of a casino floor in ETGs and video slots, creating a personalized experience for all.”
Table Game of the Year Nominee: Dragon Sic Bo
Dragon Sic Bo is a new spin on the timeless Sic Bo. In this larger-than-life rendition, wins are determined by combinations of three dice. On each dice, a dragon replaces the 1 side, and when the dice lands on the dragon symbol, there is a chance to win a jackpot with a dice roll of 2 or more dragons. In Aruze’s version of Dragon Sic Bo, the player has the power to choose their own multiplier.
On the floor, each playing station is equipped with its own “shooter” button, pulling players together to root for the magic dragon dice. A dazzling display of bright red and yellow lights, dragons, and a spotlight on flying dice attracts a wide breadth of players, from Sic Bo regulars, to fans in the making.
Casino Product of the Year Nominee: Gong Cash Slot Series
The Gong Cash Slot Series features two beloved themes, Lion and Dragon. Both themes feature special symbols that trigger different surprises. The “Gong Spin” feature rewards players with free spins, providing more opportunities to rack up winnings. The Jackpot feature allows players to pick 12 different icons until a match is found, and the Jackpot level is revealed. Promises of fun and prospects of winnings create an irresistible gaming experience.
This series of titles is exclusive to the Muso family of cabinets from Aruze. These cabinets use vivid graphics, sounds, and beloved Aruze titles to bring life to any casino floor. Players and operators alike are accustomed to the high-quality, immersive experience that Aruze provides, and the Muso cabinets are no different.
All Global Gaming Awards Asia-Pacific category winners will be announced on May 29, 2023, at a virtual awards show.

We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots.
Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.
At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.
Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins.
Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
