LAS VEGAS, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT), the global leader in driving technology innovations in the gaming industry, today announced the latest DoubleDown Casino land-based partnership with Bonanza Casino in Reno, Nev. The Bonanza joins casino properties across the U.S. that have partnered with IGT to launch the DoubleDown social gaming casino on their websites over the last three months.  

The Bonanza Casino website, www.bonanzacasino.com, will host the DoubleDown Casino application, which will give the casino's players an opportunity to explore exciting casino-style entertainment while remaining connected to the Bonanza brand.

"Social gaming continues to be a growing trend worldwide," said Eric Tom, IGT executive vice president of Global Sales."

Bonanza, which is currently an IGT Systems and games customer, will deploy the DoubleDown Casino online through a revenue-sharing program in the coming weeks. With access to the online casino's full roster of enthralling game titles such as Da Vinci Diamonds® and Cleopatra® slots, as well as the newly released Bingo with multi-themed rooms and multi-player poker, the Reno-based casino will have access to new games instantly as they launch online. New games will be added automatically to the virtual casino, and first-time users of the app will receive $1 million in virtual chips to start their play.
