Historically, International Game Technology (IGT) always has been at the forefront of the gaming industry, providing unrivaled gaming experiences for its casino partner players and developing industry altering innovations. Although IGT’s origins as a private company date back to the early 1950s, the company’s decision to go public in 1981 signaled its intent to do business on a global scale. IGT’s “foot in the door” had arrived a few years earlier with the success of its revolutionary gaming product, the video poker machine. Since 1986, IGT has been a global leader in casino gaming entertainment and continues to transform the industry by translating casino player experiences to social, mobile and interactive environments. IGT’s unequalled legacy of excellence continues each year with games that will dazzle players with bonus features, new math models and beautiful display formats.
IGT’s ties to the Las Vegas community run deep, as the company is a notable supporter of many reputable charitable and artistic organizations in this grand city. IGT’s headquarters, located off the 215 at Buffalo, not only signals its dedication to the area—as nearly 700 people are employed in this building alone—and as IGT continues to grow its operations, the IGT family continues to grow as well. IGT’s close proximity to the famous Las Vegas Strip provides it with a valuable proximity to many of its casino partners, allowing for a dynamic and collaborative relationship.
Recently, IGT painted the town blue with the launch of all-new and exciting game themes sure to thrill players. Recognizable licensed brands took center stage on casino floors worldwide, providing dynamic and engaging content: Silver screen smash hits including Footloose™ and Ghostbusters™ roared into casinos with recognizable movie clips and catchy tunes sure to set everyone’s feet to dancing.
The slot titles IGT has created have become cultural icons, which are as much a part of Las Vegas as the street names that speak to the history in this fabulous city. As the leader in wide-area progressive, millionaire-making jackpots, IGT has created more than 1,500 millionaires since the debut of their MegaJackpots
