“Less than a month ago, we were celebrating with The Strat when one of their players won nearly $2m on our buffalo grand game. Now we are standing alongside our partners again, this time as they open this extraordinary link lounge,” commented Hector Fernandez, Aristocrat’s Americas president.

“We are thrilled how players have responded to our entertaining Lightning Link and Dragon Link games, and we are honoured to be partners with The Strat, where we hope lightning will strike and dragons will roar for many years. The Strat has been very thoughtful in their reinvestments, and we are excited to be a part of the new Strat.”
