Represents First Installation of Video Cabinet Featuring Unique Custom Display

LAS VEGAS – (April 3, 2023) – Everi Holdings Inc. (NYSE: EVRI) (“Everi” or “the Company”)--a premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, financial technology, and player loyalty solutions--today announced the first installation of the company’s new Dynasty Vue™ cabinet at Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Highland, Calif. 

The stunning Dynasty Vue is Everi’s first form factor in its new Dynasty family of game cabinets. Dynasty Vue provides sightlines comparable to a dual-screen cabinet but features a custom display that enables Everi’s designers to create game mechanics players would typically experience on a portrait cabinet, all with the functionality and integrated base of a slant top cabinet. This innovative form factor features a uniquely shaped main game display and an integrated 27-inch top box with distinctive dual-banded lighting integrated with gameplay for maximum attract value. 

This first deployment of Dynasty Vue showcases the Combo Cash™ Series, featuring two distinct base themes – Rockin’ Reels™ and Secret Treasures™. Both themes introduce COMBO CA$H, a fun new twist on the player-favorite Win What You See® feature, which was made popular by Everi’s award-winning stepper games Cash Machine® and Gold Standard Jackpots®. In Combo Cash, players landing a “$” symbol in the base games will unlock the “COMBO CA$H” feature, which spins to award big prizes up to $20,500.

 “We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with Yaamava’ to introduce a new era in Everi’s hardware evolution,” said Dean Ehrlich, Executive Vice President and Games Business Leader at Everi. “Their players will be the first to experience the cabinet’s immersive feel coupled with our new Vue-exclusive  game content.” 

“We are excited to be the first casino in the country to offer Everi’s newest video cabinet,” said Kenji Hall, Chief Operation Officer of Gaming at Yaamava' Resort & Casino. “With more than 7,000 slots, Yaamava' is known for bringing the most popular, cutting-edge games to our guests to deliver a premium gaming experience and the Combo Cash Series on Dynasty Vue enables us to do just that.” 

Launch Activity
Everi will host a ribbon cutting on April 4, with Yaamava’ and Everi leadership along with The Money Man®, Everi’s iconic brand ambassador, who will hand out game-branded t-shirts to players in attendance. XXX invited  guests will have chance to play Combo Cash Series on the Dynasty Vue cabinet with complimentary slot pulls.

YAAMAVA’ RESORT & CASINO INSTALLS WORLD PREMIERE OF LIGHT & WONDER’S JEWEL OF THE DRAGON SLOT FRANCHISE

Exclusive world premiere celebrated in partnership with slots influencer Brian Christopher

Highland, Calif.  (September 27, 2022) – Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel and Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) (“Light & Wonder,” “L&W”) announced today the world premiere of a brand-new slot franchise, JEWEL OF THE DRAGON™. This exciting new theme will feature hold-and-respin, “what you see is what you get” mechanics, and the titles RED PHOENIX™ and VALLEY OF THE TIGER™ are now live at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel. The third title, A THOUSAND WARRIORS™ will debut later this year. 

“We aim  to offer a best-in-class gaming experience by continuously adding the newest slot machines to our 7,000-plus slot floor,” Kenji Hall, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino Chief Operating Office of Gaming said. “Our players will be thrilled that they can be the first to experience this exciting new slot franchise."

All three titles use gems as their indicator of a player’s progress towards their hold-and-respin goal, while also acting as triggers for smaller bonuses themselves. When six gem triggers happen, the hold-and-respin feature begins. Players begin with three free spins trying to collect additional gems. Each new gem resets the free spin counter to three again. If a player gets 15 gems, filling up every slot, the grand jackpot is theirs.

To celebrate the installation of the new slot, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino partnered with content creator Brian Christopher to showcase the world premiere. Christopher, the host of Brian Christopher Slots on YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK, has over 1.3 million followers online, attracting almost 6 Million unique viewers every month. He played the game as part of his live streams from Yaamava’ on Thursday, September 22 at 5pm on YouTube, and 6pm on Facebook.

“It’s always super exciting for our fans to see us showcase brand-new games to them live!” Christopher said. “Getting that immediate feedback from them on the games really makes it an immersive experience!”

The multi-denomination slot is located on the second floor of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino near Serrano Vista Café.
