IGT Marketing/Slot Line 9295 Prototype Drive Reno, NV 89521 or E-mail to: Heidi.Littenberg@IGT.com Slot Line ® February 2008 Editor: Heidi Littenberg Creative Director: Kevin Melahn Graphic Designer: Mark Salinas Senior Photographer: Peter Walker Contributing Writers: Beth Braun Julie Brown Tracy Burgener Brian Dillon Dawn Fournier Anita Good Jan Harris Jaclyn March Daunya McElrath Chrisie Yabu Scott Rick Sorensen 2008 IGT Events April 22 – 23 NIGA San Diego, CA May 7 – 8 Southern Gaming Summit Biloxi, MS 18 – 21 Great Plains/MIGA Prior Lake, MN 19 – 20 Eastern Gaming Congress Atlantic City, NJ 20 – 22 Gaming Technology Summit Las Vegas, NV June 3 – 5 G2E Asia Macau, China 24 – 25 New York Gaming Summit Saratoga Springs, NY From the Editor’s Desk “The Right Vision. Right now & for the future.” At the most recent Global Gaming Expo (G2E), you saw how IGT is bringing our vision to market. You saw it in our new machine models. In just a few short months, we’ll have five new AVP ® machines available for purchase – the biggest such rollout in IGT’s history. It’s a significant achievement, bringing state-of-the-art technology to market in an array of stunning new styles (see Page 46 for more information). Customers lined up to see and experience the new models at G2E and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. In addition to providing a great game play experience for the player, these lightning fast machines provide the processing horsepower you need to be prepared for the server-based gaming revolution, which is just around the corner. You saw it in our Network Systems product offerings. Our award-winning sb Service Window, sb Floor Manager and EZ Pay ® Smart Card products leverage the combined power of AVP ® technology and the open network (see Page 28 for more information). Soon, you’ll be able to harness this powerful combination of machine and system to take your floor, and your operation, to a whole new level. You saw it in our interoperability demonstrations – a new wave of collaboration and innovation with IGT and Atronic’s Server-Assisted Gaming (SAG) concept, and IGT and Paltronics’ signage/system interoperability demonstration, proving that the open network provides products and services that have never been seen in the industry before. We strongly believe that these kinds of efforts are the wave of the future, so much so that our Global Technology & Interoperability Center is now open. The center further enables industry advancement, because any gaming vendor or operator can book time to test product compatibility with other products using the Gaming Sandards Associaton (GSA) protocols (see page 51 for information). You saw it in our Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade game, featuring SMLD AVP ® Multi-Layer Display technology from PureDepth, Inc. This game is not only visually appealing and fun to play, it demonstrates the framework for downloadable spinning reel games – a key component of the gaming floor of the future. You saw it in our first-to-market innovations. The spinning reel and video slot game play features available in 2008 – two-level progressives, horizontal expanding wild symbols, new wagering concepts – are the result of “out of the box” thinking and your direct input (see Page 8 for more information). You’ve read and heard a lot about the future of the industry. You saw IGT’s vision for the future at G2E. We’re excited to say that in 2008, you can start bringing the future to your floor.
