field trials at Monte Carlo, with
sbX Service Window
In July, IGT installed sbX at Monte

Service Window. This field trial
represents the first deployment of the
sbX Service Window.

a shift away from secondary displays
and presents a powerful mechanism for
delivering compelling applications that
will enhance the player experience,”
said Saenz. “IGT continues to be at
the forefront of this technology and
demonstrate our leadership and
progress by bringing for-sale serverbased
products to market.” This
installation also features the broadest
mix of IGT AVP ® machines to date
connected to sbX .

remote download and configuration of
game themes.
