IGT ‘POWERS’ BOYD AND CEASARS
IGT has signed a major jackpot deal with Boyd Gaming and Caesars Entertainment for its Powerbucks multi-state WAP US - Slot operations
International Game Technology has signed two huge deals with Caesars Entertainment and Boyd Gaming whereby it will roll out Powerbucks, a multistate Wide Area Progressive (WAP) jackpot link, in properties in approved jurisdictions, start- ing with the states of New Jersey and Nevada.
Powerbucks is a brand new add-on to IGT’s MegaJackpots themes that enhances the jackpot pool from one gaming mecca to another, as players join together in their quest for the big win.
“We’re excited to transform the jackpot experience in partnership with Caesars Entertainment,” said Eric Tom, IGT EVP of Global Sales. “With Powerbucks, IGT re-imagines casino gaming thrills by creating more winners, more often, across multiple states. We all win when players engage more, and Powerbucks enables our cus- tomers to attract more players to casinos with the promise of more jackpots.”
“We are continually seeking new and innovative ways to bring more excitement to the gaming experience. Together, IGT and Caesars Entertainment own the legacy of creating the most millionaires in the industry; now with Powerbucks, we’re creating a whole new level of excitement around winning,” said Melissa Price,
Senior Vice President of Gaming for Caesars Entertainment.
Mr. Tom added: “True to IGT’s pioneering spirit, we’re excited to partner with Boyd Gaming in shaking up the gaming industry once again,” said Eric Tom, IGT EVP of Global Sales. “Only IGT’s Powerbucks creates a dynamic multi-state jack- pot pool enhanced by the excitement of our fan- favourite games. We’re thrilled to provide our cus- tomers with the opportunity to attract and enter- tain more players, giving them more life-changing jackpot potential with Powerbucks.”
“Boyd Gaming is excited to join forces with our long-time partners at IGT in delivering a new and compelling gaming entertainment experience to our guests,” said Paul Chakmak, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Boyd Gaming. “With more opportunities to hit a life- changing jackpot than ever before, Powerbucks gives players yet another reason to choose Boyd Gaming over the competition.”
US The AGEM Index of gaming companies declined in March of 2014 when compared to February 2014 with the composite index ending the month at 186.68, which was down 6.46 points or 3.3 per cent from the prior period. The index posted month-to-month declines in two of the first three months of the year. In the latest period, 11 of the 16 global equipment manufacturers reported declining valuations when compared to February 2014. In addition, seven fell by more than five per cent. Of the five manufacturers that reported month-to-month increases in stock price, most of the gains were relatively modest. Despite recent volatility, the AGEM Index remains up 23.6 per cent from one year ago.
Intralot is selected to launch Wyoming’s first lottery service
US Intralot has been selected by the Wyoming Lottery Corporation as its vendor to provide systems and services for the newly-formed WyoLotto, the State’s first entry into the Lottery business.
Intralot will provide the start-up and on-going services, including the recruitment of Lottery retail- ers, the supply, installation, maintenance and support of the new lottery Central System and software platforms, terminal network and communications.
The Wyoming Lottery Corp. is a
quasi-public corporation estab- lished by House Bill 77 in the 2013 legislative session and signed into law by Governor Matt Mead last July. The corporation oper- ates as a private business and does not employ state employees or use state tax money.
The Lottery released a Request for Proposal for Lottery Operations and Services on Dec. 3, 2013. The largest three vendors in the industry submitted pro- posals and after a thorough review the Wyoming Lottery awarded the contract to Intralot, which scored the highest points.
The Wyoming Lottery and Intralot have already begun work on the implementation plan and will work collaboratively to have a contract signed as G3 went to press. The term of the contract is expected to be five years of oper- ations with three, five-year extension options. The Wyoming Lottery is expected to go live later this year with two draw games: Powerball and Mega Millions.
Intralot President and CEO, Tom Little, said: “We are extremely pleased to have been selected as the Lottery’s gaming partner and are excited to work closely with them to get the games off the ground in a secure and socially responsible manner, to set the stage for future growth, and to maximise long-term sales and returns for its beneficiaries.”
