IGT has always delivered a huge variety of games, but what was evident in Vegas was a remarkable level of quality in each of the defined areas of the booth. IGT has focused on its core video content as part of its Proven Performer programme, which is an internal and external testing programme in which 500 machines within live casino environments are evaluated over a period of 90 days, with only the last 30 days of performance counting towards overall test results.
Te company’s core portfolio is anchored by a large library of core video games that excelled in the IGT test bank programme and have achieved the accolade of Proven Performer status. Highest ranking among IGT’s current test scores is the new Scarab game, featured on the CrystalDual 27 cabinet alongside Solar Disc, Wild Pirates and Lucky Buddha. Te latter three are terrific looking games, but it’s Scarab that you’ll definitely want to reserve on your shipping list for 2019.
Fortune Coin, part of IGT’s push to create content for both dual and single screen cabinets on the CrystalCurve cabinet, is another Proven Performer title that’s made the cut next to Coin O Mania, which completes a volley of core video content games that represent the very best content from IGT. Gone are the days of pending notices on machines, with all products on the booth in Vegas ready to ship, a result of IGT’s rigorous product development discipline.
One product category long dominated by IGT (90 per cent marketshare), but overwhelmingly dedicated to the US market, is video poker. New video poker and keno content with market-leading brands and mechanics were shown at G2E. Here the company revealed a new version of the most popular video poker title of all time, Game King. Te content bundle incorporates roulette and new game concepts based on some of IGT’s most successful slot titles such as the Da Vinci

The IGT booth was a thrill-ride of ‘Hard-Core’ quality experiences across all gaming categories
Across a 25,000 sq.ft booth featuring 358 games, IGT displayed a breadth of content and hardware more expansive and detailed than anything we’ve seen from the developer in a decade. Not only had IGT brought its big guns to the G2E party, the traditional mix of gameshow hits and big licensed premium product, but its focus on core games, stepper classics, video poker, sports-betting solutions, links and tournament products made this a standout show for the company.
Diamonds Keno game. IGT also showcased the evolution of its Wheel Poker game series with the Asian-themed Lucky 8’s Wheel Poker. Te new Ultimate X Keno and Super Times Pay Keno game titles build on IGT’s poker brands to introduce a new keno experience, though this all might prove a little too US-centric for most international markets.
Te Price Is Right is the biggest afternoon TV game show in America, while Wheel of Fortune is the biggest evening game show in America - and both featured prominently on the IGT booth at G2E 2018. Crowds of onlookers gathered at IGT’s booth during the exhibition as game show host Drew Carey led the world debut of three Te Price is Right slot games. Carey addressed the crowd and hosted spirited Plinko games with trade show attendees. Carey played Plinko with the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) Chairman, Ernie Stevens Jr., and was joined by Dallas Orchard, IGT Chief Product Officer, Gaming who highlighted features such as Te Showcase Showdown, Cliff Hangers, Punch a Bunch and Rat Race. Wheel of Fortune was also heavily promoted at the show, with two new Wheel of Fortune 4D games – Wheel of Fortune 4D Featuring Vanna White and Wheel of Fortune 4D More Money, along with new games Wheel of Fortune Triple Red Hot 7s for the
MegaTower cabinet making guest-star appearances of their own. Wheel of Fortune 4D, with its synched top boxes allows players to spin the big wheel using gestures in mid-air, which was a particularly nice touch.
IGT further demonstrated the versatility of the CrystalDual 27 cabinet by unveiling a new video TournXtreme product, IncrediBell! Spirited slot tournaments were held throughout the three-day event with each Proven Performer title able to flick into tournament mode with a simple switch, enabling operators to quickly and easily organise a tournament on the fly to enliven their floor at any time. IGT also committed to continuing to launch base games to support this concept into the future.
High denomination steppers were given plenty of floor space on the IGT booth at G2E, including machines with pay tables honed to provide an iconic IGT stepper experience that included classic elements on the S3000 cabinet, with games such as Red White and Blue Drumroll one of many titles that featured iconic sounds and retro-style jackpot meters from a golden age of slots gaming.
