LONDON, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International
Game Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) announced today that it has
successfully achieved responsible gaming re-accreditation by the
Global Gambling Guidance Group ("G4") for its IGT Gaming and
PlayDigital™ operations. This latest accreditation makes IGT the
first gaming supplier to be re-certified by G4 for both its Digital
and Gaming segments.
IGT received G4 responsible gaming certification in 2017 and in
2019 for its land-based casino segment and digital services,
respectively, making it the first supplier to be certified across
both segments. This year, G4 re-evaluated IGT for both segments
simultaneously.
"As the gaming industry leader serving customers around the
world, IGT recognizes the importance of developing and delivering
innovative, research-based responsible gaming technologies and
services across our business segments," said
Wendy Montgomery, IGT Senior Vice
President, Global Brand, Marketing, and Communications.
"This independent certification reinforces IGT's position as a
highly responsible vendor, emphasizing the effectiveness of our
solutions in helping operators protect their players."
G4 aims to minimize the impact of problem gambling by promoting
a worldwide accreditation program for gaming industry operators and
suppliers. To maintain G4 certification, IGT was independently
evaluated to ensure that it exceeds industry standards for
providing player protection tools and responsible gaming
information on its IGT Gaming and PlayDigital product platforms. As
part of G4's evaluation, IGT had to demonstrate its responsible
gaming commitment to research, policy development, and employee
training.
"In a world where responsible gaming standards are becoming
more and more important, and regulations regarding this are a top
priority, IGT's operations fully understand this and act
accordingly," said Pieter
Remmers, Chairman of the G4 Board of Directors. "G4
is happy and proud to have IGT as an accredited member."
