IGT
MLP themes advance to the gaming floor. At the same time, the Company is also accelerating the number of MLP titles slated for release. Current popular MLP titles include Bubble Blast, an international sensation featuring Spells and Whistles™ and Treasures of Atlantis™ game themes. Bubble Blast is a four-level progressive using the renowned Ocean Magic™ bubble mechanic, where bubbles move up one position with every spin. The progressive play-off features a chance to win every level at any bet, appealing to a wide variety of players. Other hot MLP games include Treasure Box and Olympus Link, with many more compelling titles coming soon.
The need for social distancing around table games
despite floorspace limitations has also boosted customer interest in IGT’s ETG terminals, which enable operators to offer a variety of games on a single unit, packing a powerful punch in a compact footprint. With an innovative and diverse content portfolio, combined with social distancing features, ETGs can ensure an engaging player experience by increasing rate of play and reducing labor costs. IGT’s Dynasty Electronic Table Games (ETG) portfolio
features the new Dynasty Peak Terminal, which is designed to enhance the player experience within a reduced footprint and offers games such as Baccarat, Roulette, and Blackjack. Multiple configurations provide a variety of social-distancing solutions with the flexibility to quickly adapt to operators’ evolving needs. IGT’s Resort Wallet suite is the industry’s only fully
integrated, turnkey, full-service cashless solution for land-based gaming. Part of the IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system product family, Resort Wallet is seeing increasing demand because it reduces contact, enhances player convenience, and increases casino liquidity. Full integration of the cashless technology means deployment is fast and efficient for operators. Because players only need to access a single digital cashless wagering account and login to make all funding transactions, Resort Wallet offers casino patrons the most user-friendly cashless gaming experience. “Our customer base is increasingly seeking a truly
seamless cashless experience, driven by the convenience and improved service that these applications provide to patrons, in addition to facilitating social distancing,” said MacCombie. The Resort Wallet cashless suite includes both flexible
variations of IGT’s cashless offering. Card-based cashless is an effective path for operators who were previously using only ticketing or older technologies such as smart cards. Using a casino-branded loyalty card, players load cash into a secure Cashless Wagering Account from either the casino cashier, kiosk, or any slot machine, and access those funds from any slot machine, electronic table game, or kiosk using the card. With IGT’s cardless solution, players use an app on a mobile device to access a Cashless Wagering Account. They load cash into the account from either the casino cashier, kiosk, or a slot machine, then tap their smartphone on a slot machine or table game to card in.
They can then transfer funds between slot machines onsite, as well as between an operator’s other properties. The player’s PIN-protected Cashless Wagering Account can fund both variations via IGT’s proprietary full- service funding gateway, IGTPay™. They can do so digitally via IGTPay through external sources such as bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards, or eWallets, or they can do so through cash deposits at the casino cashier, kiosks and slot machines. IGTPay is a proven solution that’s fully operational in land-based and digital environments; state lotteries, casinos and digital gaming entities are all benefitting from IGTPay’s full suite of financial services. On the workforce front, IGT’s Floor Manager solution helps operators optimize their slot technician resources by enabling central management of game theme downloads and EGM configuration, reducing or eliminating the need for manual updates. This shortens downtime and prevents the need for slot technicians to make the changes for each machine, so they can focus on other tasks on the floor. Floor Manager offers a cloud-based solution to remotely change the casino fl oor mix based on market conditions and demographics. Event scheduling and monitoring tools give operators everything they need to optimize the games on the fl oor, ensuring that game changes happen when and where customers want. The system also provides game performance analysis tools, enabling operators to make data-based decisions. Changes can be scheduled in the system to occur during slow times or in response to specifi c events, such as changing game denominations to suit different types of players. From compelling games to state-of-the-art cabinets,
and from player-tested progressives to innovative systems solutions, IGT’s best-in-class offering can position its customers for success in the months and years to come. “With our customers’ return to regular operations on the horizon, we’re excited to bring them the solutions they’ll need for a healthy recovery,” said MacCombie. “Our comprehensive portfolio gives operators a head- start in reopening or expanding their gaming program with their best foot forward.”
