Casinos Austria is bringing the internationally known Fort Knox slot machines to the casinos starting on 16 May.

With Fort Knox Cleopatra and Fort Knox Diamond Vault, there are prizes of up to € 250,000 several times per year.

Fort Knox offers gaming enthusiasts a one-of-a-kind slot game experience. It's possible to hit the jackpot with a bet of as low as 75 cents. 90 Fort Knox slot machines are connected with one another Austria-wide. The jackpot is filled again with € 200,000 after every win. No other Fort Knox slot machine in the world offers a prize this high. Whether your own house, a pool in the garden, a finca in Mallorca, a boat, a new car, a world tour, or money for the grandkids - with a little luck, your wish can come true.

Slots fans can discover a variety of prize combinations and win big jackpot treasures with the latest generation of Fort Knox® video slots. Fort Knox® Cleopatra is a 5-reel, 30-payline game while Fort Knox® Diamond Vault has 50 paylines and 5 reels.

Depending on the level selected, in both games players can reach the "Fort Knox Bonus" and therefore the chance to win the jackpot. In that case it is necessary to reveal three identical symbols using touch technology. A clear red siren sounds when the jackpot is hit.

Fort Knox is a slot machine from International Game Technology. The game is based on 25 or 30 paylines and can be played with a bet of 75 cents to € 6. IGT is one of the most well-known slot machine developers. The large curved Ultra HD 4K display provides a unique slot game experience. The visual experience is enhanced by impressive graphics and fantastic animation.

The era of slot machines at Casinos Austria began in 1979 at Casino Baden. In 1987, the Austria Jackpot was introduced, which enabled millions of schillings in wins. In 1995 it was replaced by the Mega Austria Jackpot and from 2009 to 2019 the Mega Million Jackpot was the highest-paid machine jackpot at Casinos Austria in use. The new Fort Knox machines from IGT follow the trend aimed at varied and exciting experiences using state-of-the-art equipment. The company has invested around € 3 million.

In the course of connecting the machines at the Federal Computing Centre on 1 January 2017, Casinos Austria began to renew its inventory of slot machines. Machines from different manufacturers ensure a wide range of products. The Fort Knox machines complete the range of machines on offer.

Casino guests appreciate the balanced and attractive mix of games at the Austrian casinos. At present, there are a total of 237 gaming tables and 2,361 slot machines in the twelve casinos for varied gaming fun.
