IGT is a gaming company established way back in the 1950s. They first came to prominence when they invented the video poker machine, a product which was to revolutionise gaming across the world. IGT raised the bar on casino payouts too; they were first to offer a $1 million progressive jackpot, and were responsible for the world's biggest ever slots jackpot: a cool $18.8 million on a one-penny slot machine.
IGT has headquarters in Reno - the spiritual home of slots gaming - but has expanded into Japan, South Africa, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Macau, Russia, and of course Europe. They first began bringing their slot machines to the UK in 1998, and rolled out their 1 millionth land-based unit in January 2000.
How IGT revolutionised online slots
In the early 2000s IGT embarked upon a series of high profile acquisitions, one of which was WagerWorks - famed for their advanced gaming technology. The company then created an Interactive division, responsible for developing a range of IGT slots that could be played in online casinos, which were beginning to gain serious attention in the gaming world.
This division is dedicated to creating the very best online and mobile games, including slots and table classics. Undoubtedly, IGT's experience in building land-based slot machines and video poker cabinets has contributed to the success of their online games.
