Hard Rock Bet added 51 new slots and casino games across its regulated online-casino offerings in New Jersey and Michigan on Sept. 15, in a release that combined two weeks of content. The update contained 31 titles available in both states, alongside 11 exclusive to New Jersey and nine exclusive to Michigan.
That left New Jersey with 42 additions and Michigan with 40. Hard Rock Bet’s total catalogues rose to 4,674 games in New Jersey and 4,342 in Michigan. The new titles were available through the operator’s app and desktop site, with play restricted to customers aged 21 or older who are physically located in the relevant state.
The release included Lightning Link Tiki Fire and Slingo The Godfather. Lightning Link Tiki Fire activates its Hold & Spin feature when six lava balls land, while filling all 15 positions awards its grand progressive jackpot. Its wager range runs from $0.50 to $5 in New Jersey, compared with $0.50 to $100 in Michigan.
Aristocrat Interactive introduced Lightning Link to the regulated US online-casino market in July, and announced Tiki Fire on Sept. 3. Dylan Slaney, the company’s chief executive, described the game as “the next step in delivering a world-class omni-channel experience to players.”
Other additions included Cash Cow, which can expand from 243 to 3,125 ways to win as its reels open, and Gold Trio Lil Demon, whose respin feature can award a 1,000x grand prize. Lucky Lemons 2 — Juiced Up carries a potential 50x Lemon Booster multiplier and a top bonus prize of 5,000x, while Piggy Bankin’ Superlock unlocks its grand jackpot if all 15 positions are filled.
Separately, the same release added four Playtech Real Money Games powered by Past Motor Racing in Florida, taking that catalogue to 127 titles.
