The “Nested Hold & Spin” mechanic is gaining traction, with notable titles like Aristocrat’s Ultimate Fast Cash and IGT’s Money Gong utilizing it. Light & Wonder’s share of Top New Premium games has been on a tear over the past three years, though its Top New Core share fell as Huff N Even More Puff ages out of the “New” segment. Aristocrat picks up 15 of the top 25 New Core Video themes, and Dragon Link and Phoenix Link remain strong even showing incremental placements. IGT’s WOF Trio continues to perform with same-store performance trending up. IGT’s Whitney Houston sequel, Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody, has entered the GPD. Bluberi’s Dancing Pots debuts in the Top 25 New Core Video segment. AGS’ “stepper-style” video reels are popular in the High-Denom Video segment.
