LAS VEGAS (October 20, 2025) – AGS and Station Casinos turned up the temperature on October 17 with the official launch of the So Hot Grand® Link, AGS’ first-ever multi-property progressive link.
Now live across eight Station Casinos properties — Santa Fe Station, Boulder Station, Palace Station, Green Valley Ranch, Durango Casino & Resort, Red Rock Casino Resort Spa, Sunset Station, and Wildfire Gaming@ Sunset (Barley’s) — the So Hot Grand Link connects more than 60 machines, spanning both video and mechanical 3-reel games. Featured titles include Diamond Reels®, Flaming Reels®, and Rakin’ Bacon!® Jackpots Bonus Wheel, plus two brand-new, first-to-Las-Vegas games: Gold Inferno Wild Stacks™ and Mega Diamond Wild Stacks™.
To celebrate the launch of the So Hot Grand Link and the kickoff of the So Hot Grand promotion, Green Valley Ranch hosted a high-energy event with confetti cannons, an electrifying MC, and fiery giveaways. Invited Boarding Pass rewards members were among the first to play Mega Diamond Wild Stacks, part of the growing So Hot Grand Link progressive.
“Station Casinos was the ideal partner for this launch thanks to their strong presence across the Valley,” said Mark DeDeaux, AGS Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots. “Linking properties within their network allowed us to create a progressive experience built specifically for their loyal, local players. It delivers more frequent jackpots, seamless play across any location, and a variety of game styles, from mechanical reels to video formats.”
Designed for quick-hitting thrills, the So Hot Grand Link rewards more players more often, trading slow-building mega jackpots for high-frequency wins that keep the momentum sizzling.
