Aristocrat Slots - Play Aristocrat Slots Online

As you may have already gathered, if you didn't know already. Aristocrat are an Australian based company that have been churning out "poker machines" ("pokies" - or what the world outside Australasia more commonly refer to as "slot machines"!) into land-based casinos for years. In fact, the original Queen of the Nile game was not only one of the most popular Aristocrat pokies but also inspired the perennial favourite the Cleopatra slot by IGT. I would also guess it had something to do with Novomatic's "Egyptian Experience" slot machine, which is also identical in gameplay and common to the Gaminator slot machines most commonly found in Europe and Latin America. Far more often than Aristocrat's games themselves in fact.





Both Queen Of The Nile and the follow-up, Queen Of The Nile II are available as online slot games now as are popular Aristocrat pokies like 50 Dragons, the Choy Sun Doa game and slots like Where's The Gold, Werewolf Wild, Sun and Moon and 5 Dragons. In fact, Aristocrat's overall gameplan is to get their 30 most popular pokies online prior to the U.S regulating so they are positioned to provide games into that market as soon as it opens.

All of Aristocrat's online pokies keep the same familiar look and feel to their land-based slot games. That means you invariably get the "bell" sound when the free spin feature is triggered, the familiar click-click of the reels landing and the slightly slower spinning mechanism with a faint shudder as each reel lands. Of course, it's all about branding and Novomatic slots like the Book of Ra follow a very similar principle as do the online versions of WMS slots, but it does make for a better player experience.

Aristocrat pokies only have limited exposure online right now for two reasons. Firstly, Aristocrat enter into limited-time exclusive agreements for their games which basically means some casinos get them first - I'm guessing here but probably for 6 months or a year. Secondly, because they have to protect valuable land-based casino licenses, Aristocrat block a number or countries from playing their pokies to avoid breaking (often murky) online gaming laws. So don't be surprised if you find your country is blocked: it's going to be down to your politician's view of online gambling but will probably change at some point while the world struggles financially! A good example of this is Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, it is not possible to play Aristocrat pokies online for real money. However, in New Zealand, it is. The site with the biggest library is Moneygaming which has exclusive rights to a number of games not available at other casinos. This is also true in New Jersey where Betfair have exclusive rights to a number of games.

As well as the free Aristocrat slots on this site, there are a number of Aristocrat pokies than can be played online in selected jurisdictions. Some of the them are real money games, though the bigger collection is available at "freemium"/social casinos where users can buy and play for coins that have no monetary value. The games available at these sites include 5 Frogs, Tigress, Crusader's Heart, Bunny's Rabbits, Wild Splash, Phoenix Riches, More Hearts, More Chilli, Golden Peach, the Walking Dead, Rhino Charge, Shaman's Dream, Stack of Gold, Dragon's vault, Celtic Queen, Turtle Treasure, Genie's Riches, Birds of Pay, Flame of Olympus, Heart of Vegas, Aztec Goddess, Shaman's Magic, Moon Drifter, Wild Lepre'coins, Fortunes of Atlantis, Wild Wings, Wild Inferno, Sunset King, Party in Rio, Imperial House and Indian Dreaming.

I expect many more of the above games to be ported for real money gaming in the not so distant future, especially as more and more jurisdictions become regulated. Watch this space.
