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 />
