LAS VEGAS, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming entertainment leader IGT (NYSE: IGT) struck an impressive slot machine and systems deal to install more than 500 IGT slot machines and sbX Floor Manager at the highly anticipated new Baha Mar in Nassau, The Bahamas.  Slated to open in March 2015, Baha Mar will welcome guests with a slot floor comprised of nearly 50 percent IGT games and a deployment of IGT's results-driven casino management system, sbX Floor Manager.
