Aristocrat is best known for its Buffalo slot, which Gaming Intelligence described as the first time the land-based game went online when it launched at BetMGM in New Jersey. Earlier Anaxi online titles included Timberwolf, Wicked Winnings II, Sun & Moon, Wild Wild Samurai and Miss Kitty. We found no published return to player for these online versions, so check each game's help screen.

How do you check a Aristocrat game is approved?

A provider does not decide whether a casino is legal. Play only on a site that appears on your state's approved list, and check the game's help screen for its rules and return to player. In New Jersey, each new game needs approval from the Division of Gaming Enforcement before it goes live. See your state page.

Does InsideCasino.us rate Aristocrat?

No. We do not rate or rank Aristocrat or its games, and we do not link to sign-ups. A game's return to player is an average over a very long run, so see what a game costs before you play.
