Aristocrat Expands Focus to Quebec and Beyond After NeoGames Acquisition
With the 2024 Canadian Gaming Summit just around the corner, the gaming industry is set to converge on Toronto's Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Ahead of this premier event, Canadian Gaming Business had the opportunity to speak with Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer of Aristocrat Gaming, about the company’s goals and strategies.
Importance of the Canadian Gaming Summit
Aristocrat Gaming values its membership in the Canadian Gaming Association (CGA), viewing the Canadian Gaming Summit as a vital networking opportunity. The event allows Aristocrat to build relationships, understand market sentiment, and gauge customer needs.
Key Objectives and Product Focus
This year, Aristocrat aims to connect with customers and highlight the products they will introduce into the Quebec VLT market. The company’s main focus is on fostering customer relationships and raising awareness about their offerings.
Opportunities in the Gaming Industry
Aristocrat sees significant opportunities in entering new specialty markets and creating an omni-channel experience for players. They aim to offer seamless transitions between different gaming formats while continuing their investment in innovation.
Strategic Expansion and Innovation
Aristocrat has been strategically expanding into specialty markets, such as the Georgia Coin Operated Amusement Machine (COAM) market and the Quebec lottery market. Their recent acquisition of NeoGames, along with their real money gaming business, Anaxi, has led to the formation of Aristocrat Interactive, expanding their portfolio across various channels and geographies. They also continue to invest heavily in innovation, exemplified by their development of NFL-themed slots and the industry-leading responsible gaming initiative, Know Your Max.
Anticipated Innovations
In the next 12 months, Aristocrat plans to innovate across all areas of their business, from hardware and software to responsible gaming. Their recent projects, such as the NFL slots featuring 32 teams in one game, showcase their forward-thinking approach. The acquisition of NeoGames further positions Aristocrat as a leader in industry innovation.
Impact of New Technology
Aristocrat focuses on leading the industry in both land-based and interactive initiatives, aiming to remain at the forefront of technological advancements without speculating on specific trends.
Core Challenges and Customer Solutions
Aristocrat addresses each customer’s unique challenges with tailored solutions from their vast product portfolio. Their goal is to remain the provider of choice by meeting the specific needs of their customers in every market.
Valued Partnerships and CGA Involvement
Gissane expressed appreciation for all of Aristocrat's customers and partners. He highlighted his appointment to the CGA Board of Directors as a significant honor, bringing his international experience to support the CGA’s goals and drive growth in the Canadian gaming market.
Goals for the Canadian Gaming Summit
At the summit, Aristocrat is looking forward to participating in various panels, especially those focused on responsible gaming. They aim to further their efforts in responsible gaming and continuously seek ways to invest and evolve in this crucial area.
JosephTheBrave Usually, streamers are watched by those who already play at casinos. I don't think they lure many people. It's just not interesting to them.
Smithsusan This "Big Bam-Book" is like a joke repeated: funny the first time, but then... well, you get the idea.
paulgreen2v Relax Gaming lowering RTP rates and then hyping up their jackpots is pretty shady. Sure, someone wins big once in a while, but how many players lose because they don’t realize their chances are much lower?
karentaylor7j It’s shocking that Twitch hasn’t banned gambling streams yet, especially when they know how easy it is for minors to access this content. Protecting young viewers should be their top priority!
SusanTheAmbitious It's concerning to see Betway continuing to land big sponsorship deals while they’re lowering RTP rates. Players deserve better, and this just feels like another way to take advantage of them.
MargaretTheJovial I completely agree with CasinosinCanada’s stance on banning gambling ads. It’s about time someone took a stand to protect vulnerable individuals from these constant and harmful messages.
EdwardTheJovial Oh, my daughter once took me to that WinStar in Oklahoma... Honestly, I thought I would go crazy from the noise of the slot machines. But it’s still cool that such places exist — it felt like being in a movie. I didn’t play, of course, but I sat in a café, watched those people — it was like stepping into another world!
WilliamsMary3 Where do such lucky people live? I've been spinning the reels for 5 years, and the most I've won is a pitiful €3100. These streamers must live in some other reality.
NancyTheTenacious Evil Devil? Seriously, who in their right mind would play this hellish trash? Sama-Satan would run away from this slot. What nonsense? More devils and demons. Zero creativity, unbelievable!

I'm thrilled to see Aristocrat focusing on the Quebec VLT market. Their NFL slots are a game-changer, and it's great to see a company prioritizing customer needs and innovative gaming solutions.
The acquisition of NeoGames is a smart move for Aristocrat. It expands their capabilities and positions them well in the interactive gaming space. This could really shake things up in the North American market.
Aristocrat's commitment to responsible gaming is commendable. Their initiatives like Know Your Max set a great example for the industry. Can't wait to see what they bring to the Canadian market!
Exciting to see Aristocrat expanding into Quebec! Their innovative approach and recent acquisitions show they're serious about leading the industry. Looking forward to seeing their new offerings.
