Medieval-themed Class III multi-way slot debuts at one of the East Coast’s most prominent casino properties as Zitro accelerates its US market expansion
Zitro USA has secured a significant placement on the East Coast with the launch of Legendary Sword at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, marking the title’s debut in the New Jersey market and extending Zitro’s growing footprint across regulated US gaming jurisdictions. The launch represents one of the most high-profile property agreements in the company’s US expansion drive to date.
Legendary Sword is a Class III 3×5 multi-way slot that places players in the role of a valiant knight, with the mystical Magic Sword at the centre of its bonus structure. Honor multiplies rewards, Glory grants extra lives, and the Magic Sword duplicates linked symbols appearing on the central reel — features that can be activated individually or in combination via mystery trigger, producing up to seven distinct bonus link configurations. The game also incorporates three Extra-Level Bonus Links, each offering a different variation on the core mechanic, and a 6×5 reel bonus round in which the upper rows gradually unlock to amplify win potential. Two jackpot tiers — Mega and Grand Mega — complete the offer, alongside the spin of a giant wheel. Focus GNHIPTHER
The New Jersey debut follows Zitro’s recent entry into Pennsylvania and forms part of a deliberate East Coast expansion strategy, with further market announcements anticipated in the coming months. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City is currently undergoing a $50 million property upgrade, with renovation of its North Tower — encompassing more than 700 guest rooms, over 60 suites and eight penthouses — scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The investment signals the property’s continued commitment to maintaining its position as Atlantic City’s leading entertainment destination, making it a strategically meaningful launch partner for an international supplier establishing itself in the US market.
