Located in Elk Grove, California, Sky River Casino confirmed that it will launch Aristocrat Gaming's latest slot machine game Chief Inferno on August 28.
This game is a new addition to the popular Chief series, featuring enhanced gold coin features, return multipliers stacking, and bonus metering mechanisms, providing players with a richer interactive experience. Members of the Sky River loyalty program will have priority access to try the game at the free slot machine drawing event held on the same day.
Sky River Casino President Michael J Facenda said, "We are thrilled to introduce this brand-new, vibrant slot machine—Chief Inferno. We will continue to lead the trend in Northern California, offering our guests exciting Las Vegas-style gaming options."
Aristocrat Gaming's Chief Revenue Officer Kurt Gissane added, "The Chief series continues to grow, and we are delighted to partner with Sky River to launch the new Chief Inferno."
It is noteworthy that Aristocrat's revenue reached 3.3 billion Australian dollars (approximately 2.15 billion US dollars) in the first quarter of 2025, a 9% increase year-over-year. This release coincides with its ongoing expansion in the US. In July, Aristocrat introduced the mobile PlayerMax app, cardless payment, and other system solutions to Cliff Castle Casino in Arizona. This year, it also signed a six-year agreement with the Michigan Lottery Company to provide a full suite of iLottery products starting from 2026, and established licensing partnerships with suppliers like Hasbro to expand branded game content.
The debut of Chief Inferno at Sky River marks another milestone for Aristocrat in integrating new games across casinos in the US.
