IGT to go “back to the 80’s” at AGE this year

“AGE is when we roll out some of our best games, and we’ll have almost 100 machines on show with a massive range of nearly 50 games designed for all types of venues, large and small. We also aim to have these games approved for each of their jurisdictions, so customers can see it and buy it at the show,” said IGT’s head of marketing for AsiaPac, Nigel Turner. 

“Back to the Future will engage a broad cross section of players, combining nostalgic film clips, proven game play concepts and new features like ‘Time Rewind’ which can reset the free game counter – all brought to life on 3D screens. Our customers love to use these themes as an opportunity to create a buzz with themed marketing and promotional activities.”

In a first for Australia, IGT, in conjunction with Maxgaming, will also be launching its world-famous Megabucks game theme with the largest statewide link seen in Australia – offering a start-up jackpot value of USD250,000. “For the first time in Australia our New South Wales customers can offer a real differentiating jackpot, at a value that blows anything previously offered away!” added Turner.

“Another global performer that’s sure to hit the ‘sweet’ spot is Candy Bars with its virtual stepper feel and engaging game play features. Also, watch out for: Spooky Loot – perfect for the run-up to Halloween - with its rich cartoon characters and new features; Wulin Master with its strong Asian theming and bonus that offers the chance to win jackpots and free games; Venture to Never Isle a well-loved theme and two game multi-pack that introduces ‘Players Pulse’ where players can choose their playing experience.”

“Mixed in with our plethora of great products are a number of Multistar multi-game packages including the much anticipated 10-game Mightystar Jackpots. With ten of our past and present winners in one machine – fantastic for venues with limited gaming licenses or floor space,” added Turner.

IGT’s Advantage Club system will also be on show, demonstrating mobile and tablet friendly interfaces and more applications for its Service Window. “In addition we’ll be launching ‘Point Explosion’ which provides players with another vehicle to earn points within the venue,” explained Turner.

“Our global strength allows us to tailor the latest games and technology for our local markets across Australia and New Zealand.  This ensures that we offer our customers a strong and diverse game library, innovative system solutions and premium service, all of which will be on show at AGE,” concluded Turner.

IGT will also be running free business presentations in its popular on-stand theatre, with industry experts speaking on a range of topics relevant to the hospitality industry. For details on session topics and times visit IGT’s website: www.igt.com.au.
