Inspired by the highest-grossing film of all time, James Cameron's AVATAR™, IGT's newest
high-impact game series allows players to relive the magic of one
of the most acclaimed movies of our time and experience the
immersive, thrilling game content that players have grown to expect
from IGT.
"It was an absolute honor to collaborate with the extremely
talented people at Fox Consumer Products and Lightstorm
Entertainment to design and develop these games," said Darrell Rodriguez, IGT Chief Creative Officer.
"We created two games that capture the innovative spirit of IGT,
while also reflecting the attention to detail and breathtaking
beauty that James Cameron fans would
expect. As a director, he has changed the way people think about
movies. We create our games to change the way people think about
slot machines."
Housed on IGT's Center Stage® platform and boasting jaw-dropping
visuals and impressive surround-sound audio, James Cameron's AVATAR™ Video
Slots promise to turn heads on casino floors. In this
captivating gaming experience, players are put right in the middle
of the struggles between humans and the Na'vi. With unlocked
content, customizable options and never before seen bonuses,
players will feel as though they have taken flight among the Na'vi
warriors.
Players will soar with the banshees high above the glowing,
luminescent rainforest of Pandora all while seeking "Banshee
Wilds," and pursuing an "Arrow Boost," payout multiplier.
This is the first IGT game that enables players to track their
progress and achieve additional game content as they advance to new
player levels. Bonuses include thematic content based on the
blockbuster film including The Hunt to search the forests for more
credits, Take Flight with a banshee to tame, and the Warrior Free
Games where players choose which warrior they want to root for
as they strive to collect enough symbols to garner a
prize.
IGT will also shine a blue spotlight on James Cameron's AVATAR™ Treasures of
Pandora. Debuting on IGT's groundbreaking Crystal Core™
Cabinet, Treasures of Pandora is a true visual spectacular.
Featuring immaculate, 3D visuals on a 42" vertical screen,
Treasures of Pandora shines among competitors. A follow-up release
to AVATAR Video Slots,this wide-area progressive video slot
features two vertically stacked base games. Upon max bet wager, the
"merging feature" may be activated, combining the two base games
and creating an industry-first 7,776 ways to win. Treasures
of Pandora truly allows players to explore the phenomenal beauty of
Pandora. Fans of the film will recognize the imaginative flora and
fauna from the movie while playing for big wins and lively
bonuses. IGT is also excited to present a dynamic player
button panel, a new game function that offers a more hands-on
player experience. The large, full color touch
screen of the Crystal Core™ allows for a superbly interactive
experience during bonuses.
