Player's World Slots
One of the biggest advantages to slot machines from a casino’s perspective is that in addition to being popular, they don’t take up all that much room per machine. However, even the largest resorts eventually run out of space, or find they are confined to a certain number of machines based on their licenses. How, then, can they keep delivering new titles and content to their customers?
One answer is through the use of multi-game cabinets, which host several titles all at once. One of the latest examples of these all-in-one concepts is Player’s World, part of the M*Series of cabinets designed by Aristocrat. These machines come in two varieties: Diamond Edition and Sapphire Edition, each of which contains a series of popular Aristocrat games from over the years in one neat package.
Regardless of which version you play, you’ll be able to choose which of the games included in the package you want to play, and at what denomination you want to wager. However, the actual games found in each of these cabinets does vary. Here’s a look at the two sets of games available in these Aristocrat variety packs.
Diamond Edition
In this version of Player’s World, you’ll get to pick between six different games, each of which ties into a three-tiered progressive jackpot. The games include some of the biggest and most successful Aristocrat games of all time, including the following:
- 5 Dragons: Based on a theme that features the mythical creates of Chinese culture, you’ll be matching turtles, fish, and of course dragons over the game’s five reels. An all ways payment system means that you won’t have to worry about hitting certain paylines, as all winning matches earn prizes.
- Lucky 88: Sticking with the Chinese theming, Lucky 88 is all about what is seen as one of the luckiest numbers in that culture. With 25 paylines, a post-win gamble feature, and a free games feature that offers players an alternative dice game that provides instant winnings instead.
- Buffalo Deluxe: One of the all-time most popular games in the Aristocrat lineup, this version of Buffalo offers all ways action on a 4x5 layout, not to mention bonus rounds that can contain multipliers of up to 5x on each of your wins.
- Big Red: This Australian-themed game features the denizens of the outback on a simple five-reel, five-payline format. You’ll see plenty of distinctively Australian creatures like wild hogs and crocodiles, but the real draw is the kangaroo, which acts as a wild and can lead to big wins during the free spins round, where all wins are doubled.
- Dollar Bear: Enjoy a wildlife theme that isn’t just about the titular bear, but also includes moose, wolves, owls, and whales on the reels – each of which has the potential to pay out even bigger rewards when you consider that (as the name suggests)
- Super Bucks IV: This entry into the Superbucks franchise – which has been one of the most popular slots franchises in Australian history – features the same straightforward, five-line action with simple graphics, fast action, and potentially huge payouts.
Sapphire Edition
The Sapphire version of Player’s World does overlap with Diamond in a couple ways: both 5 Dragons and Big Red are offered here as well in just slightly different editions. However, the other four titles in the machine are entirely distinct. They include:
- 50 Dragons Deluxe: Yet another dragon-themed slot machine, this version features 50 lines of Asian-themed action, including a free-sins round where extra wilds are added to the reels after each and every spin, making it easier and easier to score big as the feature goes on.
- Timber Wolf Deluxe: You’ll howl at the moon in this all-ways game with a wintery theme. Explore the Arctic tundra by matching wildlife symbols, then score big in a bonus round that lets you choose how many spins you want at various multipliers.
- Fortune King Deluxe: Another of the “reel power” titles that offers an all ways layout with no paylines, Fortune King uses an Asian theme that features the king himself in the honored position of being the wild substitute.
- Black Panther: One of the simplest five-reel games around, you’ll be playing just three paylines on this machine. While the graphics are now aging, this is still a popular and timeless machine.
The Choice is Yours
In the end, Player’s World is only as good as the games that are contained inside each cabinet. Thankfully, in both cases, we’re happy to say that Aristocrat has definitely drawn on some of their strongest titles of the past few decades. If you’ve been a fan of their library for some time, these machines are a bit like a trip down memory lane.
