Aristocrat Gaming recently released the Class 2 Crown Bartop hardware.

The hardware features two titles from The Hunt game family – players can enjoy legacy Red Screen Free Spins and bigger payout potential with Frenzy Jackpots.

“The launch of the Class 2 Crown Bartop represents a significant first for Aristocrat Gaming, bringing Class 2 gameplay to our bartop category for the very first time,” Aristocrat Class II Director of Sales at VGT/Aristocrat Ryan Johnson said in a statement. “By pairing proven VGT mechanics and iconic titles in The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold and The Hunt for Aztec Riches with Crown Bartop hardware, we’re giving Class 2 operators a powerful new way to elevate the bartop experience for players across Oklahoma.”

The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold and The Hunt for Aztec Riches bring the same action and gameplay, but now on the Crown Bartop’s top-curved 24-inch LCD display. The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold is an underwater adventure-themed game with comic-style graphics and player-favorite bonuses like Diamond Hunt, Mine Field, and Red Screen Free Spins. The Hunt for Aztec Riches takes players on a journey for ancient gold and riches with bonus features like the Calendar Wheel, Gold Coin Hunt, and Red Screen Free Spins.

The Class 2 Crown Bartop is connected to the Frenzy Jackpots link, now with jackpot start-ups at $10,000 for low-denomination, and $25,000 for mid-denomination and higher configurations.
