Sandia Resort & Casino and AGS Premiere Mariachi Fortunes Trio in New Mexico
AGS partnered with Sandia Resort & Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico to debut its newest slot game family, Mariachi Fortunes Trio™ to the market.
On November 1, the property hosted a festive Dia de los Muertos-themed launch celebration inspired by the game’s two energetic themes – Fiesta de los Vivos™ (the festival of the living) and Fiesta de las Calacas™ (the festival of the skeletons) inviting more than 300 VIPs and guests to explore the worlds of the living and the departed through exciting gameplay.
The event transformed the casino floor into a spirited celebration with Day of the Dead decor, live mariachi band, confetti cannons and stunning visuals throughout the property, bringing the game’s festive setting to life. VIP guests received themed giveaways and were among the first to experience Mariachi Fortunes Trio. During the VIP free-play event, more than 20 hand-pays were paid out totaling nearly $75,000. Additionally, AGS representatives, property executives, and Sandia Resort & Casino employees gathered to commemorate the occasion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
“Mariachi Fortunes Trio has seen tremendous success since its debut in July and continues to build momentum across the country,” said Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots, AGS. “These games – along with their immersive theme, rich features and stellar bonus options – being first to market in New Mexico is a celebration of the fan-favorite brand and our special partnership with Sandia.”
Mariachi Fortunes Trio was soft-launched on October 15 and will be available at Sandia for a limited time before expanding to casino floors across the region.
