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.
Center Stage Series is a revolutionary new platform offering unlimited content 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 to be launched.
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 MultiPlay video slot is IGT's hot new Progression Play theme, allowing 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 buttons.
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.
