IGT gaming innovations within IGT’s booth 3659 will include:

IGT PlayDigital organization and the market-proven PlayShot sports betting solution: IGT will highlight the versatility of its PlayDigital organization and “go digital” portfolio that enables anywhere, anytime gaming. Center stage will be IGT’s PlayShot sports betting solution, the leading U.S. B2B sports betting platform. Already deployed in multiple states and the sports betting platform of choice of some of the world’s largest casino operators, IGT PlayShot sports betting technology is a fully capable “plug and play” technology that offers land-based retail, on-premise and state-wide digital delivery options. Leveraging its experience as a global sports betting provider, IGT will introduce its PlayShot QuickBet sports betting kiosk, a user-friendly and modern, walk-up sports betting option. The Company will also debut the CrystalBetting Terminal – a slot machine-inspired hardware that applies IGT’s pedigree in land-based casinos to give players an immersive and comfortable way of enjoying the full range of in-play and pre-match wagering, live video and more.

Premium games that excite on attention-grabbing hardware: G2E attendees will be chanting “C’Mon Big Money!” as they tour IGT’s premium G2E portfolio and are greeted by the evolution of Wheel of Fortune Slots. IGT will feature two new Wheel of Fortune 4D games – Wheel of Fortune 4D Featuring Vanna White and Wheel of Fortune 4D More Money, along with new games Wheel of Fortune Triple Red Hot 7s for the top-performing MegaTower cabinet. New mega-sized game Megabucks^® Double Diamond^® Deluxe on the S3000^® XL cabinet will advance IGT’s momentum in the large-format space, while IGT’s TRUE 4D title American Gods 4D will entertain players with its vibrant, multi-sensory gaming experience that captures the spirit of the namesake TV fantasy drama. The Company will demonstrate the depth and breadth of its multi-level progressive library for the CrystalCurve cabinet by showing new base games for its expansive library of multi-level progressive games on the CrystalCurve cabinet such as the Fort Knox^®, Fortune Gong, Golden Goddess^® and Jurassic Park Trilogy games.

Proven core content on compelling hardware: The Company’s core portfolio will be anchored by a large library of core video games that excelled in the IGT test bank program and achieved Proven Performer status.

In the stepper space, IGT will feature titles on the S3000 cabinet such as the Red White and Blue^® Drumroll game – one of many titles that incorporates classic features such as prominently displayed pay tables, iconic sounds, and retro-style jackpot meters. The Company is also increasing its focus on the high-denomination space, which will be evident with titles such as Pinball^® Gold and Double Double Gold on the S3000 cabinet.

New video poker and keno content with market-leading brands and mechanics: As the market leader in video poker, IGT will continue to set the industry standard for excellence through new video poker and keno content. The Company will reveal a new version of the most popular video poker title of all time with Game King^®. The content bundle incorporates roulette and new game concepts based on some of IGT’s most successful slot titles such as the Da Vinci Diamonds^® Keno game. IGT will also showcase the evolution of its Wheel Poker^® game series with the Asian-themed Lucky 8’s Wheel Poker game. The new Ultimate X Keno^® and Super Times Pay^® Keno game titles build on IGT’s winning poker brands to introduce a new keno experience.

Systems solutions that differentiate loyalty programs and enable agile operations: G2E attendees can experience the evolution of in-display media management through IGT’s M5 systems solution. Built with HTML-5, the IGT Advantage^® system add-on places a range of conveniences such as personalized promotions, beverage ordering and exciting bonuses at the players’ fingertips within a slot game’s service window. The M5 solution enables operators to create content once and deploy it across multiple channels with a consistent user experience.
