IGT expands mechanical reel hardware portfolio with DiamondRS™ cabinet

Under IGT's theme "It's Game Time!" the Company's G2E showcase in booth #3659 will feature performance-tested solutions that are attuned to player preferences of today and market opportunities of the future. The Company will also leverage the three-day event to unveil two new form factors, the DiamondRS cabinet and the Peak65 cabinet, which will feature a new Wheel of Fortune theme as part of the Company's 25th anniversary celebration of Wheel of Fortune® Slots.

IGT's partnership with Sony Pictures Television on Wheel of Fortune Slots set a landmark precedent in gaming. For 25 years, the strength of the Wheel of Fortune brand and widespread appeal of the game have set the standard for how licensed brands can translate into compelling slot themes.  

"IGT's G2E 2021 theme 'It's Game Time!' celebrates our excitement for the gaming industry to reconvene and our opportunity to demonstrate compelling, future-forward solutions that engage and entertain players and meet the needs of the evolving gaming industry," said Renato Ascoli, IGT CEO Global Gaming. "IGT's research-backed G2E portfolio is anchored in next-generation games and cabinets, never-before-seen innovations such as the DiamondRS cabinet and growth-driving products such as the Resort Wallet with IGTPay cashless gaming solutions."

"G2E 2021 provides a prime platform for IGT PlayDigital to showcase its digital and sports betting innovations and illuminate how our solutions for these fast-growing segments can deliver incremental growth and complement land-based gaming enterprises," said Enrico Drago, IGT CEO Digital & Betting. "IGT continues to evolve our PlaySports solution with new platform and self-service betting features, and we continuously expand our PlayCasino library with in-demand omnichannel games and compelling business analytics tools."

Product highlights within IGT's G2E booth will include:

  • Elevates Classic Mechanical Reel Hardware Innovation: G2E will be the global debut for IGT's dazzling DiamondRS mechanical reel cabinet. Backed by IGT's leading pedigree in mechanical reel slots and content, the future-forward DiamondRS cabinet retains many player-preferred classic stepper elements, includes IGT Diamond Glass and features an attention-grabbing square, video top box. The hardware's IGT Diamond Glass allows for supreme player engagement, increased content innovation, and options for denomination and multi-game configurability. The cabinet also accommodates an in-game progressive controller, giving operators even more options for rewarding players. The DiamondRS cabinet is supported with a large library of performance-tested games including new spins on player-favorites with games such as Double Top Dollar and Fortune Coin™ Extra™.

  • Expansion of High-Performing Peak Hardware Family: Tradeshow attendees will be chanting "WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE!" on IGT's new, super-sized Peak65 cabinet. This addition to IGT's Peak hardware family features a 65-inch progressively curved display, a 13.3-inch dynamic player panel with dual bash buttons, and the most advanced graphics, sound and ergonomic technology. At G2E IGT will unveil the Peak65 with new Wheel of Fortune Slots theme, Wheel of Fortune High Roller™. With a vibrant, electronic wheel topper, the Peak65 stands more than 10 feet tall and instantly becomes a jackpot beacon on a casino floor. IGT will also debut the Peak65 with The Price is Right® Come on Down Video Slots, which is an entertaining take on one of the most successful, longest running TV game shows of all time and leverages fan-favorite mini-games such as Plinko, the Showcase Showdown Big Wheel and the Range Game.

Next-generation Wheel of Fortune slots and additional omnichannel Powerbucks™ titles will also be on display for G2E attendees.

  • Winning Sports Betting Technology and Services: Powering sports betting at more than 50 gaming venues across the U.S., IGT's PlaySports platform is backed by a portfolio of user-friendly self-service betting technologies. At G2E, IGT PlaySports will demonstrate its new CrystalFlex™ betting software bundle on the award-winning CrystalBetting™ Terminal and, for the first time, showcase PlaySports content on the widely deployed PeakBarTop cabinet. These new multi-game bundles include the legendary Game King X™ content and enable players to watch their favorite sports, place sports wagers, enjoy slots, and play video poker and keno on the same gaming machine and with the same on-machine funds. IGT PlaySports will also showcase the capabilities of its trading advisory services team, introduce cashless wagering on its PlaySports Kiosk, spotlight the versatility of the PlaySports Pad and demonstrate why PlaySports is the most widely used B2B sports betting solution in the U.S.
