Introducing the Newest Evolution in Gaming Hardware, The Baron™ by Aristocrat Gaming

Published

on

Building on the company’s legacy of technological innovation, The Baron brings casino players an all-new entertainment experience

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Set to follow in the footsteps of its award-winning predecessors, The Baron dual-screen cabinet by Aristocrat Gaming features groundbreaking technological innovations including never-before-seen integrated dynamic lighting, advanced display monitors, and sleek design elements to enhance casino floors. The powerful combination creates a new gaming experience unlike any other.

The Baron will make its tradeshow debut at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) this October with deployment on casino floors to follow.

“At Aristocrat Gaming we continually innovate for our customers, and The Baron builds on the global legacy of the market-leading cabinets in our portfolio while showcasing the depth of range we offer to meet our customers’ needs and their player demands,” said Victor Duarte, executive vice president of product for Aristocrat Gaming.

The advanced technological features of The Baron are player-driven and create gameplay that is even more vibrant—from the lighting, display graphics, sound and more. Players will be drawn to the direct and indirect lighting details that come standard with the hardware. First-of-its-kind LED lighting borders the cabinet and monitors, while indirect backlighting on the chimney illuminates The Baron in color coordination with gameplay and game themes. An integrated candle lowers the cabinet profile for improved sightlines on casino floors.

The dual 27″ ultra-high-definition 4K display monitors bring proven player comfort and ergonomics combined with best-in-class graphics, plus an additional 27″ LCD topper that integrates play and jackpot features. A discreet soundbar, two top monitor speakers, and a subwoofer in-cabinet make for improved surround sound experience. Finally, a floating virtual button deck adds sleekness and functionality to the modern look of The Baron.

Like all Aristocrat Gaming cabinets, The Baron launches with a portfolio of titles to appeal to a broad range of players. “We’re excited about the roadmap of The Baron and look forward to it illuminating casino floors in the near future,” said Duarte.

Leveraging fan-favorite game families, The Baron will launch with three new Game Sales titles: Buffalo Gold Cash Collection™, Ju Cai Jin Gui™ Dragon and Ingot, and Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Ignite™ Blue Prosperity and Red Prosperity.

Buffalo Gold Cash Collection brings the iconic brand to the newest hardware with exciting Cash on Reel features paired with Cash Boost, Gold Collection, and Multiplier bonuses. Ju Cai Jin Gui Dragon and Ingot is the successor to Fu Dai Lian Lian™ building on the Triple Metamorphic that started it all, to introduce a newly branded member of the portfolio with the addition of a Fourth Metamorphic. Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Ignite Blue Prosperity and Red Prosperity also expand on the Triple Metamorphic mechanic by blending four features into one ultimate package resulting in 15 different bonus combinations.

Additional Game Sales and Gaming Operations titles are forthcoming. For more information on The Baron, visit www.aristocratgaming.com.

JetZero and EXIM Sign Letter of Interest to Explore up to $3B in Financing for New Aerospace Manufacturing Campus in Greensboro, North Carolina

Published

Letter of Interest signed at the Farnborough International Airshow under EXIM’s Make More in America Initiative; project expected to create more than 14,500 direct jobs

FARNBOROUGH, U.K., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW– JetZero today announced that it has signed a Letter of Interest with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to explore up to $3 billion in potential financing support under EXIM’s Make More in America Initiative (MMIA) for the development of the company’s major advanced aerospace manufacturing campus in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The Letter of Interest, signed at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow, establishes a framework for the two organizations to evaluate potential MMIA financing support for the construction of manufacturing facilities, production systems and equipment, and other eligible project costs. The agreement reflects a shared commitment to expanding U.S. manufacturing capacity while preserving EXIM’s full underwriting, due diligence, environmental review, and Board approval processes.

JetZero’s Greensboro campus represents a significant investment in domestic aerospace production capacity. The project is expected to create more than 14,500 direct manufacturing jobs in North Carolina, along with an estimated 53,000 additional indirect U.S. jobs, while strengthening critical industrial and supply-chain resilience and supporting future exports of U.S.-manufactured aerospace products.

“This Letter of Interest marks an important step toward building the most advanced aerospace manufacturing campus in the country and bringing tens of thousands of high-quality jobs to North Carolina,” said Tom O’Leary, JetZero CEO and co-founder. “We are excited for EXIM’s interest in supporting American manufacturing leadership and exports.”

The Greensboro campus builds on JetZero’s existing progress with EXIM in supporting project tooling, and reflects the parties’ intent to explore broader financing support for the full manufacturing campus as discussions advance.

The Letter of Interest does not constitute a financing commitment, an obligation of federal funds, or approval of any loan transaction.

CNPC launches China’s first full-chain green, low-carbon ethylene project

Published

on

By

BEIJING, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

China National Petroleum Corporation on Thursday officially put into operation the Tarim 1.2 MTA Phase II Ethylene Project and its supporting green and low-carbon demonstration facility in Korla, Bayingolin Mongolian autonomous prefecture, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. This marks the launch of the country’s first full-chain green and low-carbon ethylene project.

As the first demonstration project in China’s petrochemical industry to apply green and low-carbon development principles throughout the entire production chain, it combines renewable energy, carbon capture and the high-value utilization of by-products. The project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 1.37 million metric tons annually, equivalent to the carbon sequestration capacity of 5.48 million mu, or about 365,333 hectares, of forest.

The project features several technological breakthroughs. It directly uses renewable energy generated by Tarim Oilfield’s photovoltaic facilities, with around 1 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity supplied to the complex each year. It has also completed the construction of the world’s second and China’s first domestically developed electric-driven system for the three major ethylene compressors, shifting from thermal to electric power.

In addition, it has adopted a first-of-its-kind integrated carbon capture technology in China to recover low-concentration carbon dioxide from cracking furnace flue gas that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere. The captured CO₂ and recovered by-product hydrogen are reused in the production process, forming a closed-loop low-carbon industrial chain that connects green power, carbon capture, blue hydrogen, blue ammonia and lower-carbon fertilizer production.

The project also reflects China’s growing technological strength. Of its 11 major production units, ten use homegrown technologies — nine of which come from CNPC, and five have been applied at industrial scale for the first time. The overall localization rate of the project has reached 99 percent, with full localization achieved for several units, including hydrogenation of pyrolysis gasoline and butadiene rubber. The project also marks a breakthrough in the domestic manufacture of large-scale extrusion and pelletizing units.

With the project now in operation, it is expected to help fill gaps in the production of high-end polyolefins, synthetic rubber and other advanced materials in southern Xinjiang, while supporting the growth of downstream 100-billion-yuan industrial clusters. It is also projected to contribute to regional economic development and create employment opportunities in Korla and surrounding areas.
