IGT: Slots 2010
IGT is taking gaming to the next level with these slot versions.
Product
highlights include the introduction of Sex and the City multi-level
progressives, the first MegaJackpots game to feature MultiPlay game
interface. The characters from the show, the sounds, the video and the
customized hardware combine in one fabulous package.

options. When new games are released, content can be simply downloaded.
The Wheel of Fortune Experience in 3-D and American Idol are the first

Slots 2010 MegaJackpots present
the Amazing Race
that takes Group Play gaming to another level with the industry's first
and only co-op bonus entry. The Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

players to accumulate credits, awards or levels of play on an ongoing
basis.
IGT DynamiX, 3D game play offers a bundle of IGT's most
innovative technologies=3-D games, MLD, AVP, multi-game and dynamic

MultiPlay slots feature MultiPlay on spinning reels,
appealing to traditional spinning reel players along with players who
have become comfortable betting on more than one game at the same time.
Two examples are Lucky Game-N-Game and Keep it Reelin' Slots.
Newer
Video Poker versions include the first community bonus option with Hot
Pursuit Poker. Also, the first wide area mega-progressive
video
poker title, Super Times Pay Poker Mega Progressive. This slots 2010
gives players the chance at matching wits against the machine,
mano-a-mano, in a Texas Hold'em Heads Up Poker game.
Lastly, there
are new multi-player products to include Triple Towers Virtual
Greyhound Racing game that combines the excitement of the racetrack
with the convenience of wagering at comfortable player stations.
That
is just the short list of IGT's newer slots for regular and video poker
slots. It is always a challenge to beat IGT innovation, but
watch
Wms Gaming coming up next.
Wms Gaming: Slots 2010
Changing
the Game is the slogan for Wms and that does not change for 2010. A
couple of key phrases are Community Gaming, Adaptive Gaming,
Transmissive Reels and Sensory Immersion Gaming.
Product highlights at the show included 103 new Video Reel games and 34
new Mechanical Reel games.
The
Price Is Right: Plinko and The Price Is Right: Punch a Bunch will
create a whole new paradigm in slot entertainment. The Price
Is
Right brand will invite players to Come on Down for a chance at
Community Progressive Jackpots in the Showcase Showdown.
The
Lord of the Rings is a new epic gaming experience. The slot is built on
the success of the proven, award-winning Adaptive Gaming product
category that has met with widespread player enthusiasm. This
technology has resulted in more than 750,000 unique log-ins as players
unlock new features as they play, save their progress and resume game
play at a later time, even at different casinos.
Monopoly: Big Money Spin Bigger Event is a communal celebration slots
2010 title.
Presented
across a super-wide high-definition screen display, Big Money Spin
Bigger Event features new ways to qualify for and trigger the
bonuses and allows players to work together in the bonus round.
The
Wizard of Oz: Ruby Slippers is a new game that extends this iconic
brand by combining the visual and audio excitement of WMS’ Sensory
Immersion platform and delivers a wide screen, high definition trip
down the yellow brick road. With second-generation BOSE audio, players
feel every step of their adventure while they experience bonuses, free
spins, respins and big wins as they play this new fantasy game.
Wizard
of Oz: Follow the Yellow Brick Road is a second version of these slots
2010 that will be introduced. This new game features 4-level,
mystery-trigger progressive awards and a wide-area progressive jackpot.
Once again this year, WMS lives up to their slogan--Changing the Game
and I am sure this kind of change is more than welcome.
That
is my report for this year and as usual, I believe it will be an
innovative and exciting time in the future slots playground.
Good Luck!
