"Aristocrat Installs Philippines’ Largest Jackpot Link"

MANILA, Philippines – Australian slot-machine maker Aristocrat Leisure Ltd says it has installed what it described as the “largest link jackpot” in the Philippines. The firm said in a press release that the link (pictured) – using the firm’s Mighty Cash Link product – had a PHP100-million (US$1.9 million) grand jackpot start-up value.

The link went live on Friday, and features high denomination play, according to Aristocrat. It is available at City of Dreams Manila, a casino resort operated by a subsidiary of casino investor Melco International Development Ltd. The latter is controlled by Lawrence Ho Yau Lung.

“Aristocrat has been working with City of Dreams Manila for a long time,” the gaming supplier’s sales and business development director for the Asia Pacific region, Lloyd Robson, said in comments included in the release.
