Aristocrat Gaming and Aristocrat Interactive will showcase four world premieres in land-based gaming, and innovative solutions for tribal customers in booth #242 during the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Show (OIGA), taking place July 14-16 in Oklahoma City, OK.

Making its first public appearance, Polar High Roller Super Lightning Wilds will be a Class II gaming highlight of the show, evolving the player-favorite Lightning Wilds brand, bringing it to new premium hardware on the Marquis three-reel cabinet. Additional features include popular Class III mechanics like Hold & Spin and a digital wheel, combined with classic touches including Red Screen Free Spins. Polar High Roller Super Lightning Wilds will be on the popular $UPER HIT$ JACKPOT$ $250k MSP link.

In an Aristocrat Gaming first, the company will introduce a Class II Bartop. The all-new Bartop will feature VGT by Aristocrat Gaming classics like The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold, with more to follow.

Making its trade show premiere, All-Star Scratchers brings a unique, innovative gaming experience to the Neptune Single and MarsX Portrait hardware. This new bespoke game allows players to form any combination of their favorite VGT characters including Hot Red Ruby, Mr. Money Bags, Lucky Ducky, and Jewel. All-Star Scratchers also features even more Red Screen Free Spin action with four different bingo cards at play at once, resulting in more fun and excitement.

In Class III, Chief Inferno will also make its world premiere. Housed on the MarsX Flex, Chief Inferno is an extension of the popular Buffalo Chief family, featuring classic Chief stack multipliers, now with all-new enhanced Gold Coins that create even larger Chief stacks, as well as a popular bonus meter.

Presented on the Marquis three-reel cabinet, Buffalo Eclipse takes a classic stepper game and elevates the excitement with Hold & Spin and a metamorphic meter. Spin the digital wheel for a chance at the Grand Jackpot, Eclipse Hold & Spin, or other credit prizes.

Aristocrat Gaming will display its latest hardware, The Baron Portrait cabinet. The Baron Portrait takes on the same basic shape as The Baron Upright, with a new and sleek 43” curved ultra hi-def 4K monitor. The curved monitor on The Baron Portrait was carefully designed for proven player comfort and ergonomics with an improved visual display. Its launch portfolio of Coin Trio Buffalo, Spooky Link, and Fa Fa Fa is now available and quickly making its way onto casino floors across the country.

Making its OIGA debut on The Baron Upright is the all-new Galactic Quest for Love and Money. Specifically designed for The Baron Upright, this game features the popular Re-spin mechanic with an innovative twist, set to entertain players with its out-of-this-world graphics and sounds.

PlayVS, the leading amateur esports platform, announced the renewal of its groundbreaking partnership with NASCAR and iRacing, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the rapidly expanding eNASCAR College iRacing Series. This renewed collaboration will continue to bring high-octane, competitive virtual racing to college students across the country, providing unique career and scholarship opportunities through one of the most innovative programs in collegiate esports. This season will also mark the debut of PlayVS as the official league platform, following its recent acquisition of Playfly College Esports.

Launched in 2022, the eNASCAR College iRacing Series has quickly become one of the most engaging and inclusive collegiate esports competitions in the country. Powered by iRacing’s premier motorsport simulation platform and NASCAR’s deep racing heritage, the series gives full-time college students the opportunity to compete for scholarship prizes, develop real-world career skills, and gain exposure to professional motorsports and esports pathways.

The eNASCAR College iRacing Series has grown to over 300 schools and almost 500 unique racers. In April, the 2024-25 Series season concluded with Cal State Fullerton’s Logan Clampitt celebrating victory at the Homestead-Miami Speedway and earning $10,000 in scholarship prizes.

“Renewing our partnership with NASCAR and iRacing reflects our commitment to delivering competitive and meaningful esports experiences to college students across North America. The eNASCAR College iRacing Series is not just about virtual racing—it’s a launchpad for future talent in motorsports, gaming, and media,” said Charles O’Donnell, Sr. Director of College Esports at PlayVS.

Through iRacing’s hyper-realistic simulation software, students experience the thrill of authentic stock car racing while competing from their dorm rooms, esports arenas, or home setups. The upcoming 2025-26 season promises even more exciting races, new tracks, and increased prize opportunities.

“We’re proud to continue building the future of sim racing through our partnership with iRacing and PlayVS. The eNASCAR College iRacing Series is more than just competition—it’s a foundational bridge between the collegiate esports ecosystem and the world of NASCAR. As we enter the 2025–26 season, this partnership strengthens our commitment to developing young talent, expanding access, and inspiring the next generation of motorsports professionals,” said Ray Smith, Sr. Director of Esports at NASCAR.

The BSA-AML Compliance Group announced the return of the Annual BSA/AML Gaming Conference, the most respected and comprehensive anti-money laundering compliance event in the gaming industry. The 2025 conference will be held at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from September 9–11, with a dedicated “Fundamentals Day” on Monday, September 8 for newer professionals or those seeking a refresher in core BSA/AML principles.

Headline Keynotes and Distinguished Guests Announced

This year’s event features presentations from some of the most influential figures in financial crime enforcement and policy:

Guy Ficco, Chief of IRS-Criminal Investigation (CI), who oversees a global agency of more than 3,200 employees and 2100 special agents. In his keynote address, Chief Ficco will provide insights into the critical role of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) in federal investigations. He will also highlight CI’s role in recent, high-profile financial crime cases.

Carole House, former Director for Cybersecurity and Secure Digital Innovation at the White House National Security Council and senior advisor at FinCEN, will deliver a keynote exploring the intersection of AML compliance, national security, and emerging technology. A leader in cybersecurity and digital asset policy, Ms. House will speak to the future of risk, regulation, and innovation.

For the first time ever, the 2025 conference will host two former Directors of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) — the bureau of the U.S. Treasury responsible for enforcing the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). They will share unique perspectives on how BSA policy has evolved over time and what the future holds for AML regulation for the gaming sector. Several other high-level government officials – state and federal, civil, regulatory, and criminal – will be announced in the near future.

The BSA/AML Gaming Conference continues to be the leading annual forum for compliance professionals in the gaming industry. Last year’s event welcomed more than 550 attendees from 39 states, three foreign countries, dozens of tribes, and over 160 gaming entities, with overwhelmingly positive feedback about speaker access, practical insights, and cross-sector networking.

The conference will also feature in-depth studies of recent enforcement actions, emerging issues involving know-your-customer and source of funds, a presentation regarding data analysis and player risks, and new and unregulated gaming models. As in previous years, it will highlight on emerging risks, new illicit finance typologies, and actionable compliance solutions.

“Our goal has always been to bring together the best minds from government and industry to share real-world solutions. With keynote speakers like Guy Ficco and Carole House, and the participation of former FinCEN Directors, this year’s event will be our most impactful yet,” said James Dowling, Co-Founder of the BSA-AML Compliance Group and President and Managing Director of the Dowling Advisory Group.
