(US).- IGT has launched a customer-facing MegaJackpots mobile app after signing an agreement with mobile and social technology firm Joingo. The new service utilises the Mobile Application Platform from Joingo and has become its first US customer-facing mobile brand offering players immediate access to real-time jackpot levels and information on ‘their favorite MegaJackpots products’.

“With identical stand-alone apps utilising ‘push’ technology for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry plus mobile web and MMS/SMS for feature phones, IGT can seamlessly reach 99 percent of mobile users, [which is] an exceptional feat in the very fragmented mobile domain,” said Steve Boyle, CEO for Joingo.

IGT declared that its new app utilises ‘location awareness’ technology to supply ‘geographically relevant details’ on its featured games, where to play and winners with players able to download the new service via the iTunes Store, Android Market or Blackberry AppWorld.

“With the industry's largest library of slot themes, IGT offers operators and players an unrivaled gaming experience,” read a statement from IGT. “Joingo's technology will enhance the player experience by allowing them access to more information on their favorite games, to interact and to provide feedback through the application's connectivity with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.”
