IGT is bringing to market this transformational technology shift with a key set of innovative casino operators and CA Technologies. Spanning EMEA and Latin America, the IGT Cloud Partner Program includes Gala Coral, Olympic Casinos, Evian Casino and Codere.

"We're thrilled to partner with some of our customers as we bring to market a true revolution for the gaming industry," said Chris Satchell, IGT chief technology officer. "The IGT Cloud Partner Program will drive innovation and deliver seamless gaming experiences to players today, and continue to define the industry as it expands to include new partners and products."

Program partners will have access to private, secure IGT Cloud services which initially will allow casinos to manage game content using IGT Floor Manager and maximize floor wide performance leveraging sbX Analytics.

"IGT Cloud will give us the powerful control of seamlessly analyzing and configuring our casino floors to meet evolving player demands."

"Understanding and analyzing game performance has been key to optimizing our floor yield at Evian Casino," said Eric Perrin, General Manager, Evian Casino. "The increased reporting functionality and data aggregation available via IGT Cloud will provide additional ways to maximize the ability to increase revenues and make strategic business decisions."
