Metropolitan Gaming, in partnership with Aristocrat Gaming, has introduced Aristocrat on the Square, a new gaming experience for guests at Empire Casino in London and the first dedicated Aristocrat Gaming space in the UK.

A 2025 law allowed casinos in the UK to expand the number of gaming machines they can offer beginning in the second half of the year.

Aristocrat on the Square showcases a lineup of Aristocrat Gaming titles tailored specifically for the UK, including NFL Triple Score, Lightning Link, Mo Mummy, and Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Link. The space is designed to elevate the player experience, highlighted by an LED ceiling and upscale décor that create an inviting lounge atmosphere.

“The debut of Aristocrat on the Square at Empire Casino marks a significant milestone for Aristocrat Gaming, reinforcing our commitment to customers across EMEA and expanding our presence in the UK as we continue delivering world‑class gaming experiences to players around the globe,” said Craig Toner, CEO of Aristocrat Gaming. “Our partnership with Metropolitan Gaming reflects a multi-year investment in bringing cutting‑edge games, hardware, marketing, and entertainment experiences to players across Europe.”

“The launch of Aristocrat on the Square at Empire Casino represents an exciting new chapter for Metropolitan Gaming,” said Alex Oswald, Managing Director of Metropolitan Gaming. “As the first dedicated Aristocrat Gaming space in the UK, it reflects our focus on creating distinctive, premium environments that elevate the player experience. Working closely with Aristocrat, we’ve brought together world-class gaming content and a carefully designed setting to deliver something truly special for our guests at Empire Casino.”

To celebrate the launch, Empire Casino is hosting a month-long Home of the Hot Seats promotion throughout February, offering players the opportunity to win vouchers, free play, and more.
