LAS VEGAS, June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT), a global leader in creating the major slot games players love and casino network systems that improve the player experience, announced today that it received four Casino Journal Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products awards for 2009 at the recent Gaming Technology Summit held at Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas. IGT won the event's most prestigious prize, the Platinum award, for its IGT DynamiX™ solution. The Platinum award is bestowed upon the best product receiving the highest score based on judging by a panel of industry experts. IGT DynamiX™ also took Top 20 "Most Innovative" honors at the event. In addition, two other IGT products were also recognized with the Top 20 "Most Innovative" distinction – MegaJackpots® Center Stages Series and Reel Edge™ Slots.
"IGT is thrilled to be the top winner for IGT DynamiX™ at this year's Gaming Technology Summit," said Eric Tom, IGT executive vice president of sales and global marketing. "We are deeply honored to be acknowledged with four awards. As a team, we take great pride in the innovative game and system technology products we develop to enhance the player and operator experience."
No product available today gives operators more flexibility, choice and return on investment, or offers the true 3D game play today's player has embraced, than IGT DynamiX™. IGT DynamiX™ is a bundle of IGT's most innovative technologies (3D games, MLD®, AVP®, multi-game, dynamic buttons and the Service Window). The IGT DynamiX™ solution runs any 3-, 4- and 5-spinning reel and video conversions on the same box, letting players decide what they want to play with one onscreen touch.
The revolutionary new MegaJackpots® Center Stage Series platform offers unlimited content options from the premiere gaming product line in the industry. When new games are released, content can be simply downloaded to the platform – without new cabinets or hardware. The Wheel of Fortune® Experience™ in 3D and American Idol® are the first games to be launched on the new platform. The Center Stage Series comes in two options: the MJ 103 Series (103-inch overhead) and the MJ 70 Series (70-inch overhead). The overhead monitors are flanked by two top-of-the-line LCD monitors, and are surrounded by individual player stations, each with its own MEGAfx Surround Chair to enhance the experience.
IGT's new Reel Edge™ product has re-invented spinning-reel gaming yet again, but as a skill-based, spinning-reel game. For the first time, spinning-reel players can stop the reels in an attempt to create wins with Reel Edge™.
