Aristocrat Interactive has released Tiki Fire, the newest online title in its Lightning Link slot family, taking the Polynesian-themed game live in regulated iGaming markets in the United States and Canada. The game brings across Cash-on-Reels, Hold & Spin jackpot action, free games in which wild symbols can pick up a 2x multiplier, and a progressive prize.
As reported in July, Aristocrat Interactive rolled Lightning Link online across regulated U.S. states and Canadian provinces, and Tiki Fire is the latest title in that push. The company said the game is a digital version of an existing land-based slot and is live with participating operators in approved markets.
In its release, Aristocrat said Tiki Fire is a true interpretation of the player-favourite casino-floor version. It cast the launch as part of a wider strategy of adapting proven land-based brands for regulated digital play, rather than building a separate online identity from scratch.
Dylan Slaney, Aristocrat Interactive’s chief executive, said the company was moving “with pace” to expand Lightning Link and that Tiki Fire is the next step in delivering a world-class omni-channel experience. He also said bringing the title online reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to adapting strong casino-floor content for regulated iGaming markets.
The earlier Lightning Link online launch began with High Stakes, which Aristocrat said had a strong debut in the August performance reports. High Stakes entered Canada at No. 1 in both new overall and new slots, started in the U.S. at No. 3 in both new overall and new slots, and later rose to No. 4 in the U.S. overall game rankings.
