LONDON, Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game
Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) announced today that the Company
will reaffirm its video poker leadership with the trade show debut
of the PeakBarTop™ cabinet at the Global Gaming Expo ("G2E"),
Oct. 14-17 in Las Vegas, Nev. As the undisputed leader in
video poker content and hardware, IGT's introduction of the
PeakBarTop represents a meaningful step forward for the gaming
segment.
The highly anticipated gaming machine features a curved, 23-inch
display and a range of other tech-advanced features such as
enhanced lighting and sound, a USB charging port, a comp-drink
indicator, improved serviceability and more. IGT conducted
extensive focus groups that included operators, players and even
bartenders to ensure that the PeakBarTop delivers an unrivalled
experience and optimal functionality.
"Through sustained innovation and continued diversification
of our video poker content and hardware portfolio, IGT has
maintained commanding leadership in this important product
segment," said Renato Ascoli, IGT
CEO North America. "At G2E we'll fortify this position by
introducing the PeakBarTop, a cabinet that underwent extensive
focus testing to ensure it's the most elite, functional, and
player-pleasing hardware in its class. The PeakBarTop will be
complemented by a range of new poker products, including titles for
the single-display CrystalCurve cabinet, that our customers can
leverage to expand their video poker offering and engage players in
new ways."
Because IGT leverages the Ascent platform for video-based
content development, the Company can offer a wide range of gaming
experiences on the PeakBarTop spanning video poker, slots, keno and
roulette. At G2E, IGT will showcase new versions of player-favorite
IGT video poker games such as Game King®, Ultimate X
Poker®, and Super Star Poker®, as well as
new games on the PeakBarTop. The Company will also offer many of
its 'Proven Performer' slot titles such as Scarab™ and Solar Disc™,
Keno games such as Wolf Run® Keno and DaVinci
Diamonds® Keno, and Glorious Roulette™ on the new
PeakBarTop.
In addition to debuting the PeakBarTop, IGT will demonstrate new
and player-favorite video poker and Keno titles on a variety of
