IGT upbeat about coming years
March 8, 2006 on 10:51 pm | In Slot machine articles online |The worlds largest slot machine maker, International Gaming Technology, has reported its expecting to increase its profit substantially over the next few years:
“Last year’s operating income topped $115 million and Matthews (Chairman) forecast international annual operating income would double within the next four years”
Also of interest in the article:
“Matthews said IGT released 172 new game themes such as Fort Knox and Party Time! in North America last fiscal year, a 38 percent increase over the previous year, and spent $138 million on research and development”
172 new games is an incredible achievement in one year. IGT’s new Blue Chip range of slot machines show that the investment in R&D is paying off. Large screens, large easy to read graphics and a smooth scrolling mechanism all make for happy players.
As noted in the article, IGT’s chairman states that his company is the best in the industry. They lead the market in the USA, but in Australia, home of Aristocrat Technologies, IGT machines are not so well represented.
