International Game Technology (IGT) is a U.S.-based company that has been around since the 1950s. It went public in 1981 as its initial video poker machine gaming product met unmitigated success. Since then, IGT has been specializing in the design, development, production, trade and distribution of various gaming machines and networking systems all over the world. It has expanded its influence in online and mobile gaming solutions as well.
In 2005, IGT’s involvement with online gaming was cemented when it acquired WagerWorks to develop its online gaming technology. With offices in Reno, Las Vegas, San Francisco, London, Stockholm, Argentina, China, and Canada and in other key cities abroad, IGT is one of the top performing gaming companies today.
Short History
The company started in the 1950s as a private company. After the success of its video poker machine in 1981, the company opened its door to the public. To realize the concept of computerized player tracking, IGT acquired Electronic Data Technologies in 1984. Several gaming technologies were conceptualized and realized by IGT over the years. In the 1990s, IGT began servicing casinos in other countries, establishing sales offices in the process.
IGT continued to expand with the acquisition of several gaming companies such as Anchor Gaming, Silicon Gaming, Acres Gaming and Cyberview Technology, Inc. It innovated the multi-level Megajackpot products and the M-P Series multi-player product. In 2008, IGT opened Global Technology & Interoperability Center in Reno, Nevada with its true-to-life casino ambiance as a testing ground for customers, gaming and third-party gaming manufacturers.
In July of 2014, IGT was acquired by GTECH, an Italian gaming equipment company, for $6.4 billion.
