The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas introduced Aristocrat’s new $5 million link machines to its high-limit gaming room on July 10, 2026. The installation marks the debut of these high-stakes units in the United States.
High-Stakes Machine Configurations
The casino floor now features two distinct configurations for the new links. One $5 million link combines two Dragon Link machines, while the second pairs Phoenix Link with Lightning 10 Year Storm. These units were added during a recent renovation of the high-limit section.
Mike Gatten, senior vice president of casino operations at the property, stated that the new links improve the gaming floor experience. He noted that the installation aligns with the venue's operational standards. Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming, described the launch as a milestone for the industry, citing player demand for larger stakes.
Aristocrat has recently expanded its portfolio with other titles. The supplier recently returned Mr. Money Bags and launched NFL Super Grand Champions at Pechanga Resort Casino in California and WinStar World Casino and Resort in Oklahoma.
