![fbm-brings-asian-fortune-to-the-united-states-with-ji-hao-link](https://gamingnewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/129678-fbm-brings-asian-fortune-to-the-united-states-with-ji-hao-link.jpg)
FBM® is ready to spread the golden wealth in the United States with the four slot themes of Jí Hǎo Link – Golden Lóng, Fortunate Héping, Eternal Fènghuáng and Great Weiyan. This product line of Asian inspiration presents a new gaming experience to American players, merging captivating graphics and alluring sounds with amazing payouts offered by an attractive feature set.
The FBM slots portfolio keeps growing in the United States. After successful introductions of the Easy$Link and Mythic Link game suites, the global gaming brand takes another step in its growth path in the USA by installing Jí Hǎo Link at Hialeah Park Casino in Miami.
The brave white tiger, the powerful dragon, the wise turtle, and the eternal phoenix are the mythical creatures of the Jí Hǎo Link game suite united by a lucky pagoda that is deeply connected with ancient Asian culture.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES THE JÍ HǍO LINK GAMING EXPERIENCE?
Jí Hǎo Link delivers a vibrant entertainment experience to slot players in the US. The new games offer a diverse selection of features to ensure every moment is a thrilling adventure.
Heading these features is the astonishing Jí Hǎo Link bonus – a special feature triggered by the games’ pagoda which is sure to entice lucky slot players with potential riches. This bonus allows players to get a Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand jackpot and may also result in another fantastic prize. If players fill all 15 positions available on the reels, they will double the non-progressive prize amounts collected during the bonus rounds.
Players may also get their hands on the golden coins spread by Jí Hǎo Link through the activation of the Triple Wild and Wild Multiplier game features in free spins mode. Triple Wild is available on Golden Lóng and Fortunate Héping making the Wild symbols fill all the positions of reels 2, 3 or 4 to guarantee better chances for big wins. Wild Multiplier is available on Eternal Fènghuáng and Great Weiyan multiplying earnings up to 30 times with the X2, X3 or X5 factors in the Wild symbols.
EXPANSION IS FBM’S WATCHWORD
Expansion continues for FBM with the Jí Hǎo Link product line, also available under the trademark Jin Qián Link in other markets. Following successful installations in Spain and impressive expansion in Mexico, FBM launches the slots suite in the United States at Hialeah Park Casino with a promising introduction and immense growth potential.
In the sequence of this remarkable step, Mike Medlin (Sales & Operations Manager at FBM) expressed his gratitude to Javier Fernandez (Slots Director at Hialeah Park Casino) and Steve Calabro (General Manager at Hialeah Park Casino) for their continued loyalty and support to FBM’s operation in the market, once again proved with the Ji Hao Link debut in the United States through the Hialeah Park Casino facilities.
FBM strengthens its position in the United States adding a new option to its game portfolio. This new step reaffirms the global gaming brand’s commitment to growing its market presence in the US with reliable and innovative games that add value for casino operators and provide thrilling entertainment experiences to their players.
