Yaamava’, Palms and AGS Celebrate First-Ever Dual Property World Premiere of Mariachi Fortunes Trio™ in Southern California and Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AGS, a global gaming supplier, partnered with Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Southern California and Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas to debut its newest slot family, Mariachi Fortunes Trio™, in a first-of-its-kind, bi-state world premiere.

On July 22, each property hosted a launch celebration inspired by one of the game’s two energetic themes. Yaamava’ Resort & Casino showcased (the festival of the living) in a vibrant daytime event, while Palms Casino Resort brought (the festival of the skeletons) to life with a nighttime celebration. Both themes are now live at both properties, inviting guests to explore the dual worlds of the living and the departed through thrilling gameplay.

The premiere transformed both casino floors into lively Mexico-style plazas with themed slot banks, folklorico dancers, live mariachi bands, decorated street carts, and larger-than-life visuals that brought the game’s festive setting to life. Club Serrano members at both Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and Palms Casino Resort received themed giveaways and were among the first to experience Mariachi Fortunes Trio.

“This premiere is a true celebration of innovation and partnership,” said Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots, AGS. “Mariachi Fortunes Trio builds on the success of Piñata Pays, one of AGS’ best-performing games of all time and takes it even further with a more immersive theme, richer features, and broader bonus combinations. The dual themes of the game made Yaamava’ and Palms the perfect partners to launch this experience. With both properties under San Manuel’s leadership and a shared focus on delivering bold, unforgettable player experiences, this two-state debut brings the full story of the game to life in a way only they could.”

“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,” said Peter Arceo, Chief Gaming Officer for the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. “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™ cranks up the energy on our gaming floors at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and Palms Casino Resort, delivering unforgettable moments and heart-pounding fun our guests will love.”

Mariachi Fortunes Trio will be available exclusively at Yaamava’ and Palms for a limited time before expanding to casino floors across North America.

About Mariachi Fortunes Trio™

Mariachi Fortunes Trio transports players to a vibrant celebration of life and tradition with two energetic themes—Fiesta de los Vivos and Fiesta de las Calacas. Each version is filled with colorful art, upbeat mariachi music, and festive symbols like piñatas, sombreros, and glowing neon animals such as the axolotl. The game is a triple-pot, hold-and-spin experience where players collect coins on each of the mariachi characters’ hats to unlock unique bonuses. These can unlock new reel windows, collect all coin values on screen, split coins into two or three matching values for bigger wins, or combine for powerful bonus outcomes. A second-chance nudge may activate when spins run out, keeping the energy high and wins in play.

Mariachi Fortunes Trio is available on AGS’ Spectra SL49+™ and large-format Spectra SL75+™ cabinets, delivering immersive gameplay with high-definition visuals and bold cabinet presence.
