Presenting a premier blend of aesthetics, usability, and convenience, the PeakCurve49 cabinet is distinguished by a sleek lower profile, open-back concept, and a player- tested C-curve 49” LCD screen with a modern 27” topper for a seamless gameplay experience. The cabinet also features LED lighting, a user-friendly 13.3” Dynamic Player Panel (DPP), a wireless phone charger, and a USB charging port.
Building on the original game’s success, IGT will also present two new Tiger and Dragon themes at ICE Barcelona: Tiger and Dragon Super Gong and Tiger and Dragon Super Bonus.
REGIONALLY ATTUNED MLP SOLUTIONS EVOLVE
In addition to its high-performing MLP portfolio, IGT continues to evolve its regionally attuned multi-game solutions to meet the unique needs of players and operators in various markets across EMEA. Throughout 2024, IGT effectively grew its roadmap for the IGT UNITE multi-game packs in the U.K. and Eastern Europe. Offering a curated multi-game experience tailored to player preferences, the IGT UNITE multi-game package conveniently combines IGT’s in-demand core content and high-performing MLP titles on one machine, enabling operators to maximize floor space without sacrificing content diversity. “We are always pursuing new ways to exceed operators’ expectations and meet specific player preferences with premier gaming content and solutions,” continued Bluemel. “Our skilled product teams rely on dedicated research and development to constantly evolve our product lines to provide compelling new solutions, like IGT UNITE, that empower operators to deliver entertaining themes in diverse markets.”
Last year, IGT brought its compelling MLP themes to Eastern Europe with the introduction of IGT UNITE Treasure Edition and IGT UNITE Egyptian Edition. Available on the PeakSlant49 cabinet, the IGT UNITE Treasure Edition features ten regionally attuned games, including the performance-proven Magic Treasures MLP.

feature with three corresponding bonus options. Further demonstrating the range of IGT’s multi-game lineup, the IGT UNITE Egyptian Edition offers 28 captivating core games, including the top-performing Egyptian Link MLP, featuring the nonstop action of various combined free games and bonuses that can lead to significant win opportunities. The IGT UNITE Egyptian Edition is available on the all-new Sierra27 cabinet, bringing a new hardware evolution to the gaming floor. The latest addition to IGTs expertly crafted hardware portfolio, the Sierra27 cabinet seamlessly combines two ultra-high-definition 27-inch displays with an optional 27-inch topper and is surrounded by vibrant LED lighting for an attractive presentation. Additionally, IGT continues to expand its ‘Salones España’ portfolio for Spain. IGT entered Spain’s gaming sector in 2022 with the Magic Fortune Link MLP. Since the game’s debut, IGT evolved the game’s mechanics to more precisely align with the play styles of a distinct market and invested in extensive player research to develop new themes, Diamond Mania, which recently surpassed a 2000-unit deployment milestone, and the soon-to-be-released Treasure Box Link game. Designed specifically for the region, IGT’s entire Salones España game portfolio is housed on the BINTIA 27-inch multi-game cabinet, offering dual high-definition monitors, ergonomic design, and programmable LED lighting.
To help propel the success of IGT’s product deployments are dedicated player research programs. The Company invests in player focus groups to test and assess the reception of games and fine-tune each game’s design, including the mathematics and mechanics, based on feedback and performance. Another research tool IGT utilizes
is an in-depth test bank program, where games are placed at various properties, player feedback is evaluated, and performance is reviewed to determine if the game needs adjustments or is ready to be released.
