Zitro’s FANTASY Cabinet Makes U.S. Debut at Grand Casino Hinckley
Zitro has marked a new milestone in its U.S. expansion with the first American installation of its FANTASY slot cabinet at Grand Casino Hinckley. The launch introduces the cabinet to U.S. players through Brave Dragon, a title designed to highlight the platform’s visual and technical capabilities.
The installation makes Grand Casino Hinckley the first casino in the United States to deploy the FANTASY cabinet, which features high-definition animations, immersive graphics, and integrated multimedia elements aimed at creating a more engaging on-floor presence. The debut follows several months of preparation between the operator and Zitro’s U.S. team.
According to the casino, early player response has been positive, with the cabinet drawing attention due to its distinct presentation and visual impact. Slot Technical Manager Robert D. Hanson Jr said the FANTASY cabinet stands out immediately on the gaming floor and offers a noticeably different experience compared with traditional slot hardware.
A milestone for Zitro’s U.S. strategy
For Zitro, the launch represents a significant step in strengthening its footprint in the U.S. market. Zitro USA CEO Derik Mooberry described the installation as the result of long-term planning and collaboration, noting that the company viewed Grand Casino Hinckley as an ideal partner for introducing the cabinet to American players.
The FANTASY cabinet is positioned as a next-generation platform, combining advanced hardware with games built to take advantage of enhanced display capabilities and immersive design. Zitro has increasingly focused on cabinet-led differentiation as operators look for ways to refresh slot floors and attract player attention in competitive environments.
Broader rollout already underway
The debut at Grand Casino Hinckley is not expected to remain exclusive for long. Zitro confirmed that multiple casinos across the United States are scheduled to install FANTASY cabinets over the coming months, indicating a wider rollout strategy already in progress.
As slot floors continue to evolve, cabinet innovation has become an increasingly important consideration for operators alongside game content. Suppliers are placing greater emphasis on visual impact, player immersion, and hardware performance as part of broader efforts to modernise casino offerings.
Zitro’s U.S. debut of the FANTASY cabinet reflects this wider trend, as manufacturers seek to combine distinctive cabinet design with games tailored to showcase new technical capabilities. With additional installations planned, the launch at Grand Casino Hinckley marks the opening chapter of what Zitro expects to be a broader expansion of the FANTASY platform across the U.S. market.
