At the the 2009 Southern Gaming Summit, May 6-7 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center in Biloxi, International Game Technology (IGT) will showcase its industry-shaping games, systems and machines. IGT's REELdepth slots, which have impressed operators and players nationwide, use Multi-Layer Display technology.

Multi-Layer Display technology is an ingenious layering of two or more Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) that creates the visual effect of true depth without the use of 3-D glasses. It allows the player to view and play dozens of their favourite games by switching from a 3-reel to 4-reel to 5-reel to video reel to poker within seconds - all on the same gaming machine.

REELdepth Multi Game themes include Pirates Bay Slots, Three Kings Slots and Magic Butterfly slots. The MegaJackpots product line will also showcase REELdepth games including the new Indiana Jones: Sankara Stones REELdepth theme, The Joker's Wild Multi-Level Progressives theme featuring MLD technology, and the new Wheel of Fortune Advanced Slot, which also uses the 3-D technology.

"Our new games, machines and systems are evidence of new thinking," IGT Senior Vice President of North America Sales Ron Rivera said. "The industry is clearly evolving, and IGT is leading the way. At the Southern Gaming Summit, our booth will be filled with the most interesting, untraditional and never-before-seen concepts in the industry today - innovations that are truly driving change in the gaming world and that are must-haves on any casino floor."

Already a success in the market, IGT's new MultiPLAY Video Slot lets players play one theme up to four times, simultaneously, on the same machine. The MultiPLAY Video Slot family showing will include well-known games Cleopatra, Wolf Run and Lil' Lady, and new themes Hawaiian Sunset and Golden Eagle.

Also in the spotlight will be the new suite of IGT machine models fuelled by the power of the AVP platform, featuring the award-winning Service Window and sb NexGen. The new models converge with a new library of game themes and sbX, the Experience Management solution from IGT. sbX allows a casino to design and manage customized player experiences for a distinct competitive advantage. The sbX Tier One package combines the first G2S server-based game management solution with the industry's largest G2S game theme library in an all-inclusive package. It will allow operators to experience sbX Floor Manager in a bank-by-bank or partial-floor solution. sbX Media Manager will also be highlighted, along with the innovative Beverage on Demand function.

IGT Network Systems will also show IGT Advantage, still unmatched in the market, with critical casino management enhancements, and the IGT Mariposa business intelligence suite that allows operators to transform data into actionable information. The Systems Services and Professional Services groups will demonstrate how they leverage IGT's technology and operator investments, and are the most experienced support teams in the industry today.

IGT's table solutions area will feature the M-P Series automated version of Roulette Evolution and the Triple Towers horse race game. In addition, the new DigiDeal electronic table game Digital 21 will be shown. Also in the spotlight is Table iD, which combines table management software, RFID chip tracking and game analysis in one solution, along with the original Lucky Draw bonus. IGT will also show its hottest new themes in video poker including Ultimate X Poker, Good Times Pay Poker and Multi-Strike Poker Deluxe. (E-05.05.05)
