IGT's Sex and the City slot reaches new heights in popularity

IGT on show at G2E Asia 2010

Based on the award-winning HBO TV series, IGT's Sex and the City slot continues to delight players and devoted Sex and the City fans with cosmos, couture and cash-filled fun.

As Sex and the City and fashion icons Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte continue to make their mark on pop culture, so does the Sex and the City slot machine. International Game Technology (IGT), a global leader in creating the games players love and network systems that improve the player experience, has announced that its Sex and the City slot has reached #1 among all stand-alone progressives MegaJackpots games on casino floors today, and remains among the most popular slot themes worldwide.

Players continue to line up to play and shout one of the show's most popular catchphrases "Me likey!" as they enjoy the wildly entertaining game play, bonus rounds and multi-level progressive jackpots. Officially licensed by HBO Licensing & Retail, Sex and the City slot machines are available in dozens of casinos across the globe. In fact, the Sex and the City slot most recently launched last week in Mexico City. "It's clear the Sex and the City slot's following is strong," said Susan Macke, IGT Chief Marketing Officer. "We're thrilled to offer fans and slot players this superior gaming experience. The slot machine is filled with all the fun and fashion we've come to expect from Sex and the City, and it's the perfect accessory to any girls' night out at the casino."

Sex and the City slot machines offer a chance at five progressive jackpots and four bonus games. With each bonus game, players will get to watch their favourite video clips, like "Hello, lover!" from the series. Plus, Mr. Big himself talks players through the bonus games, cheers them on and congratulates them on their wins. This slot machine is packed with everyone's favourite things from the Sex and the City series, including the music, the colours, the characters, the clothes - and of course, Mr. Big. Winning never looked so good.

IGT will display the latest products for the Asian Gaming market on 9-10 June at G2E Asia 2010 in Macau. The company will thrill attendees with an exciting lineup of groundbreaking slot games and revolutionary casino system's products.

"IGT is stronger than ever – with slot games and network systems products designed to help casinos thrive," said John Gomes, managing director for IGT Asia. "This year, IGT has committed itself to truly taking gaming to the next level with the right products to help our customers drive revenue and thrill players. And at G2E Asia, you will see this in full force. We are excited to demonstrate how our cohesive game and system product lines perform together for unparalleled operator and player benefit."

Apart from the hottest game around the globe - the Sex and the City slot – at G2E Asia, IGT will showcase an immersive gaming experience with its new Center Stage Series. It's an eye-catching, awe-inspiring platform, designed to deliver extra-large fun to players and big time flexibility to operators. Much like a movie theater, casinos install the platform (screens, seats and all) just once, and change out software for themes as they become available. At G2E Asia, the first run themes will include Wheel of Fortune Triple Spin and American Idol Video Slots.

Joining the Wheel of Fortune family is Wheel of Fortune Triple Spin Video Slots. This Group Play game features IGT's exclusive MultiPLAY interface with three 4x4 independent reel grids and MultiWay game play. The game features unique independent reels with a re-spin feature where four like symbols in center grid initiate a re-spin. Players will enjoy the 90-credit cost to cover all three games and 450-credit max bet. Exciting bonus action features awards from one to three bonus wheels plus a Mystery Slices bonus which awards random credits.

Super Nova Blast Multi-Level Progressives deliver IGT's first 3D group play bonus – bringing the game to life with animated symbols. An engaging bonus involves all eligible players and is timed to occur frequently – keeping players' anticipation high. Debuting at release are three base games: Abra Cash Dabra, Pterodactyl Triples and Ringmaster Riches 3D Slots. All three are available on each S MLD machine model so players can choose their favorite.

Play IGT's new Top Dollar Reel MultiPLAY game at G2E Asia and meet the dapper Bill Cash, who guides players through the game as a razzling, dazzling show host. The Top Dollar theme has been a favorite for a decade, and this 3D version takes the classic, arcade-style game to a new level of fun. It has the traditional Top Dollar "Take Offer, Try Again" proposition, and not one, but two reel games that spin simultaneously and stop with individual outcomes.

Entertaining, engaging games are just the beginning of IGT's innovation. IGT's industry-leading network systems products are developed following the same commitment to superior user experiences, operator profit and overall product excellence.

sbX makes jobs easier, players happier and bottom lines healthier.

Before, an operator had to make a long-term commitment to a game purchase. With sbX, the operator can now have a machine with an entire library of games tied to it – allowing them unmatched flexibility for game mix decisions. With sbX, operators can more effectively deliver great games and unique applications to the player– right at the slot machine.
