IGT Software

The very first slot machines created by IGT were simple in their design, compared to most contemporary styles, and did not stand out for their high percentage of winnings, however they still attracted a vast number of players. The company kept actively working on improving its products and IGT was one of the first companies that started implementing the most up-to-date technologies and, more importantly, computerisation. The developer's new video slot machine games stand out for their striking design, high performance and functionality.

They have continued their partnerships with land-based casinos and also supply slot machines to the major online casinos..

IGT History

IGT began in the 1950s as a small company that worked in the area of the computerisation of land-based casinos. The founder of the company, William Redd, and his team of experts, were present at the very beginning of the development of slot machines. This is about the time when they came up with the idea to create a progressive system of jackpots. The company was officially registered in 1975 and in 1984 IGT acquired Electronic Data Technologies, the company that developed the bonus systems of frequent incentives. Today they are known as loyalty systems and are actively used in online casinos. IGT eventually became the owner of other brands: Sodak Gaming, Barcrest Gaming and Acres Gaming. The company's shares have been in high demand on stock markets worldwide.

The year 2005 marked an important milestone for the company with the acquisition of WagerWorks and the company managed to expand its operations worldwide. In 2010 IGT launched further operations with its subsidiary - IGT Interactive. Its main function was to develop software products for online casinos that are available in both flash and HTML5 versions so players can launch video slots from both stationary computers and mobile gadgets. Gtech, the American company, became International Game Technology in 2015. Experts have calculated that the company's annual revenue is at least two billion US dollars.
