LONDON, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game
Technology PLC (NYSE: IGT) announced today that its subsidiary, IGT
Canada Solutions ULC (hereinafter "IGT"), has signed a five-year
contract extension with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis
("AGLC") to deliver an enhanced version of its INTELLIGEN™ systems
software and continue to be the AGLC's central systems provider.
The extension runs through July
2026.
"IGT's INTELLIGEN systems software supports the volume,
complexity and security of monitoring video lottery terminals
throughout Alberta," said
Nick Khin, IGT Chief Operating
Officer, Gaming. "As the leader in the regulated video
lottery industry with more G2S deployments and specific VLT
features than any other vendor, IGT developed its INTELLIGEN system
to respond to the unique needs of its customers. AGLC will receive
the most advanced updates INTELLIGEN has to offer, allowing them
access to quick insight into the status of their entire VLT
network."
Under the terms of the extension, IGT will upgrade AGLC's video
lottery central system to the latest version of INTELLIGEN, which
includes improved network diagnostics and stability. AGLC will also
receive several iLINK Ultras, IGT's latest retailer site controller
that has a separate point-of-sale device and logic box for
increased flexibility, and an updated user interface with improved
features for the retailer.
IGT's INTELLIGEN systems are deployed worldwide connecting a
wide range of VLTs in a variety of gaming environments. The
software is built on more than 25 years of central system
experience and offers stable, secure command and control
capabilities. It supports the Gaming Standards Association's Game
to System® (G2S) standard protocol, which enables an
enhanced player user interface, improved responsible gaming
features, exciting multi-level mystery jackpots (Vault
Breaker®) and additional player-centric
functionality.
In addition to VLTs and the INTELLIGEN central system, IGT also
provides AGLC with commercial casino cabinets and games as well as
IGT PlayDigital PlayCasino games. AGLC has been an IGT customer
since 2003.
