SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Atronic, innovative producer of video slot machines, announced today its first installs of the Michigan Magic(R) Wide Area Progressive (WAP) link in Little River Casino with continuous roll-out installations planned for the coming weeks.


Michigan Magic(R) features a unique multi-level progressive designed exclusively for Michigan casinos and players -- "Michigan Jackpots for Michigan Players". Exciting games, innovative merchandising packages and jackpots designed to hit frequently further differentiate the link. Michigan Magic consists of nickel video slots on Atronic's Towerline(TM) platform, and features two progressive jackpots, the "Jackpot" which starts at $50,000 and the "Magic Jackpot" which starts at $100,000. Atronic's decision to launch Michigan Magic was based on the overwhelming success of its first WAP, Arizona Magic(R). Arizona Magic has become well known in Arizona casinos for its entertaining game play and frequent winners. In its first seven months, the link paid out over $870,000 to seven lucky winners.


The first game on the Michigan Magic(R) link will be Sphinx Magic(TM). Sphinx Magic, a proven success in Arizona and other markets, features a stunning display, a high hit frequency, and the interactive Magic Bonus Card feature, supplemented by the globally successful Sphinx brand. Atronic's first install at Little River Casino will be quickly followed by installs at Leelanau Sands, Turtle Creek, Ojibwa Casino Resorts in Baraga, Ojibwa Casino in Marquette and the five Kewadin Casinos, with further installs throughout the summer.
