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.

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.

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.
