AHG EXPO SHOWCASE<br />

IGT PROPELS GAMING<br />

FORWARD AT AHG18<br />

The 2018 Australasian Hospitality Gaming Expo will<br />

showcase a new range of machines and games to<br />

propel the gaming industry forward through evolving<br />

and innovating game play.<br />

Last year, IGT ignited its local business in ANZ with an<br />

investment in people and technologies to develop new<br />

games and systems that offer variety and performance<br />

for more entertainment and more sustainable<br />

revenues. And the new line-up for the show continues<br />

this momentum.<br />

Nigel Turner, IGT’s head of marketing for ANZ<br />

commented: “Last year was all about sparking a new<br />

direction for our company and delivering our first<br />

set of games to deliver a boost to our customers’<br />

revenues. At AHG we enter our next phase with a new<br />

cabinet – the CrystalCurve-i – and new games that<br />

are evolutions of old concepts or innovations that are<br />

new to market. Through our solid roadmap we will<br />

propel our customers’ business forward and deliver<br />

new game concepts for players.”<br />

IGT’s new CrystalCurve-i features a 42” Full HD portrait<br />

screen and a full suite of games including Wild Fury<br />

and Fortune Fury, which are now available in the<br />

market and initial performance figures have been very<br />

promising.<br />

Turner continued: “At AHG there will be additional<br />

games for our Curve-i: Star Stax, a single level SAP<br />

with bonus levels that are driven by the denomination<br />

plus a rapid hitting jackpot feature and bonus chase;<br />

and Fortune Gong Link which kicks off with three<br />

different base games and sees the evolution of our<br />

successful Prize Disk game play.<br />

For our CrystalDual-i cabinet we’ll be showcasing<br />

a number of new games including IGT’s multigame<br />

multi-denomination offering – called Multistar – which<br />

includes Multistar Dazzling Diamonds and the new<br />

Multistar All Stars. Both these themes showcase our<br />

new graphics and layouts with games that have a<br />

flexible mix of volatility and denomination.<br />

In gaming management systems, IGT Advantage<br />

Club continues to take remarkable leaps forward in<br />

performance and in additional innovative solutions<br />

enabling venues to better manage their patrons’<br />

experience and customer service, drive loyalty and<br />

improve their bottom-line performance.”.<br />
