It’s a Fiesta!: AGS Launches Next-Gen Slot Experience with Mariachi Fortunes Trio
Slot manufacturer AGS has once again raised the bar for innovation in casino entertainment with the launch of its newest slot game family, Mariachi Fortunes Trio. In a first-of-its-kind, bi-state world premiere, AGS partnered with Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Southern California and Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas to debut the vibrant, dual-themed game.
On July 22, both properties threw unforgettable launch celebrations that reflected the energy and spirit of the game’s two unique themes. Yaamava’ Resort & Casino hosted a spirited daytime event inspired by Fiesta de los Vivos (Festival of the Living), while Palms Casino Resort lit up the Las Vegas night with a celebration of Fiesta de las Calacas (Festival of the Skeletons). Though each event captured a different side of the mariachi-themed universe, both themes are now live at both properties, offering players a thrilling choice between the living and the departed—each packed with dynamic visuals, upbeat music and exciting gameplay.
The dual-premiere transformed casino floors into festive, Mexico-style plazas. Guests were greeted with folklorico dancers, energetic mariachi bands, vibrant slot banks adorned with colorful graphics, decorated street carts and dazzling oversized props that brought the game’s world to life. Club Serrano members were treated to exclusive themed giveaways and were among the first to play Mariachi Fortunes Trio, making them the pioneers of this next-generation slot experience.
“This premiere is a true celebration of innovation and partnership,” said Mark DeDeaux, SVP and GM, slots, AGS. “Mariachi Fortunes Trio builds on the runaway success of Piñata Pays, one of AGS’ top-performing games, and takes it even further. With dual themes, deeper features and more bonus potential, it made perfect sense to debut it at Yaamava’ and Palms—two powerhouse properties with a shared mission to deliver bold, unforgettable player experiences.”
Peter Arceo, chief gaming officer for the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, followed, saying: “From California to Las Vegas, Club Serrano members are the very first to dive into the electrifying world of Mariachi Fortunes Trio, the thrilling new slot franchise from our incredible partners at AGS. This groundbreaking dual-state world premiere is more than just a launch—it’s a fiesta of immersive gameplay, vibrant visuals and nonstop excitement.”
Mariachi Fortunes Trio invites players into a celebration of life and tradition with two distinctive visual and musical styles. From colorful piñatas and sombreros to neon-glowing axolotls and radiant sugar skulls, every detail is designed to dazzle.
The game itself is a triple-pot, hold-and-spin-style experience where each of the three mariachi characters collects coins on their hat. These coins trigger unique bonuses such as reel window expansions, coin value collections, coin multipliers and powerful bonus combinations. A second-chance nudge feature keeps players on the edge of their seats, even after spins run out.
Built on AGS’ Spectra SL49+ and Spectra SL75+ cabinets, Mariachi Fortunes Trio delivers a high-definition experience that blends bold cabinet presence with dynamic visual storytelling. These eye-catching formats create a high-energy environment that complements the game’s musical and cultural flair.
