The Aristocrat Leisure Limited has been primarily based in Australia since its formation, but it has not deterred this company from venturing into other markets. It tried entering the American Market from the 1960's but was not able to function properly due to legal hurdles. It even had an office in Las Vegas way back in 1965. Only in recent future the company had been able to enter this market in full force. It entered the Japanese market and sold slot machines. The company however met with moderate success on that front. The company has also entered the vast European Market at the turn of the century. The company is now competing with industry giants like Bally and IGT.

The Aristocrat Company is now trying to replicate its amazing success in the Australian Market in the world market as well. The founder Len Ainsworth holds a stake in the company but has his own Slot machine manufacturer company as well. If the company could satisfy the needs of an Australian Gambler then they can satisfy any gambler's wishes. The brand Aristocrat is on an upward swing despite the downturn and soon a situation will come when if you play at a slot machine, it could be made by Aristocrat.
