Sky River Casino in Elk Grove, California, has confirmed it will debut Aristocrat Gaming’s newest slot title, Chief Inferno, later this month.
The game is an extension of Aristocrat’s well-known Chief series and includes returning multiplier stacks with enhanced gold coin features, as well as a bonus meter mechanic.
Members of Sky River’s loyalty programme will be able to trial the game at a Free Slot Pull and Drawing scheduled for 28 August.
Michael J Facenda, President of Sky River Casino, commented: “We’re thrilled to introduce the new, high-energy slot game, Chief Inferno. We continue to lead the way in Northern California when it comes to adding exciting, Las Vegas-style gaming options for our guests.”
Kurt Gissane, Aristocrat Gaming Chief Revenue Officer, added: “The Chief game family continues to grow and we’re pleased to partner with Sky River to introduce the all-new Chief Inferno.”
Good to know: Aristocrat recorded AU$3.3bn (US$2.15bn) in revenue for Q1 2025, up 9% year-on-year
The launch comes amid a period of expansion for Aristocrat in the US. In July, the supplier introduced its mobile PlayerMax app, cardless payment solution and other systems products to Cliff Castle Casino in Arizona, following a deal signed in late 2024.
Beyond land-based operations, Aristocrat has also extended its digital footprint. In July, it signed a six-year agreement with the Michigan Lottery to supply its full iLottery product suite from 2026.
Earlier this month, it also entered into a licensing partnership with Hasbro, alongside other suppliers, to expand branded gaming content.
The debut of Chief Inferno at Sky River marks another milestone in Aristocrat’s ongoing push to integrate new titles into regional casinos across the US.
