For the first time in the U.S., IGT will link its digital Wheel
of Fortune® Gold Spin™ Triple
Gold® game with all land-based Wheel of Fortune
$1 wide area progressives, sharing
the entire wide area progressive jackpot liquidity between land and
online casinos across New Jersey and giving players additional
choice and convenience for when and where they enjoy their favorite
high-awarding $1 Wheel of Fortune
games. This unique technology will also give players in
New Jersey the opportunity to vie
for the same large-scale Wheel of Fortune jackpots that are
typically only found in land-based casinos, across all three gaming
channels: land-based, mobile and online. IGT has proven this
technology with its highly successful Powerbucks® link
in Canada, which became the first
omnichannel connected jackpot in the world when it debuted in
2016.
"IGT is once again breaking barriers in the digital
gaming space with the soon-to-launch U.S. omnichannel Wheel of
Fortune linked progressive," said Enrico Drago, IGT CEO Digital & Betting.
"We are combining proven technology with the most successful
slot brand of all time to create a powerful jackpot liquidity pool
that engages players and delivers life-changing wins for
New Jersey residents playing
across channels. SBC Summit attendees will be among the first in
the U.S. to see how the technology works."
In addition to the exciting debut of the U.S. omnichannel game
at the SBC Summit, IGT will also be showing Fortune Coin Boost!™, a
sequel to the Company's top-performing digital game in 2020,
Fortune Coin™. Other leading PlayCasino games on display will
include Great Bear and MegaJackpots™ Elephant King™.
IGT PlaySports will showcase its new CrystalFlex™ and
PeakBarTop™ Flex cabinets and multigame software offer. These new
products include the legendary Game King™ X content and enable
players to watch their favorite sports, place sports wagers, enjoy
slots, and play video poker and keno all on the same gaming
machine, using the same on-machine funds. IGT PlaySports will also
feature the capabilities of its trading advisory services team,
demonstrate cashless wagering on its PlaySports Kiosk and highlight
why PlaySports is the most widely used B2B sports betting solution
in the U.S.
