Initially, IGT has worked exclusively within the United States, but since 2005 it has become an international company, which representatives are located in many countries, including the Russian Federation.

It is impossible to list all the technical developments of IGT and its subsidiary enterprises in a single article. We would only say that many findings of International Game Technology developers were originally bold innovations, and later turned into a standard that was followed by other software manufacturers for the casino.

IGT History

The history of International Game Technology began in the early fifties of the last century when it was founded as a private company, which was engaged in the computerization of casino operations and the production of new pokie machines, video poker pokies, and other gambling games. In addition, IGT was developing a system of progressive jackpots, unified loyalty programs, and other products.

Gradually, International Game Technology has acquired other brands that work in this industry, including Barcrest Gaming, Sodak Gaming, Acres Gaming, and others. Over time, IGT shares appeared on the world's major stock exchanges.

Significant for IGT event took place in 2005 when it acquired the brand WagerWorks that was very popular in the field of gambling. In the same year, the activities of International Game Technology have expanded to many countries around the world.

Since 2010, the division operates under the name of IGT Interactive, which manufactures products for online casinos and their mobile versions. The central office of IGT Interactive is located in San Francisco, USA.

In 2014, Gtech expressed interest in acquiring International Game Technology. In 2015, this acquisition was completed, IGT ended its existence as a stand-alone company, and the Gtech name was dropped in favor of International Game Technology PLC. IGT has since been treated as the former Gtech, and International Game Technology (1975-2015) formally no longer exists.

Other milestones in the company's recent history:

• In April 2017, IGT announced an agreement to sell its subsidiary Double Down Interactive LLC to DoubleU Games to create a partnership in the social casino market.
• In February 2022, IGT announced the expansion of its operations in Washington State.
• In March 2022, IGT global services subsidiary, International Gaming Technology, announced a 6-year partnership agreement with Singapore Pools Limited.
• In April 2022, International Games Technology announced a deal to acquire gambling content provider iSoftBet for approximately €160 million.
• In February 2024, the company announced the merger of its gaming divisions with Everi, which will inherit the IGT name.
  

IGT Best Pokies for New Zealanders

The range of online gambling from International Game Technology includes several dozens of unique pokie machines, as well as a solid selection of board, card, and entertainment models. Reviews of the most interesting games of International Game Technology can be found in the relevant section on the portal Casinoz.

It is interesting that one of the models of the IGT (more precisely, the Three Card Second Chance) was developed by Michael Shackleford, owner of an online resource Wizard of Odds.

IGT roulette

Developer IGT offers various versions of electronic/virtual roulette. The player will feel like they are at a real roulette table as the brightly colored ball rolls smoothly across the wheel before hitting the pokie.

One of the best things about roulette games from IGT is that the tables tend to have a wide range of betting options. This means that they are well suited for beginners and experienced players alike.

For example, manufacturer IGT offers a game with three roulette wheels at the same time - 3 Wheel Roulette. This alternative game format is a breath of fresh air for online casino players. With IGT's 3 Wheel Roulette game, players can enjoy multiple games without spending as much money as other multiple wheel roulette games.

IGT blackjack

Online players who love a fast game will enjoy Blackjack by IGT, as it has one of the most amazing turbo modes. Other advantages of the game include a high return percentage and rules that are not too generous to the house.

The game uses six decks of 52 cards each and a mechanism that shuffles them between rounds. On the one hand, this is a good thing as the RTP ratio stays the same, but on the other hand, card counting becomes impossible.

According to IGT blackjack rules, the dealer must draw up to 16 points and always stand when his hand reaches 17 points or higher. You will be offered insurance if the dealer has an ace on the face of the card up. A blackjack check will be made both in the first case and if the up card has a 10. In addition, the "8-card Charlie" rule applies, meaning that you will always beat the dealer if your hand reaches 8 cards and does not zero out. However, you will not have the option to surrend if you don't like your starting hand.

Blackjack from IGT is played with one hand. You can split your hand if the two starting cards are of equal value. But this option requires doubling your starting bet. Aces are an exception to this rule, as each split hand gets one extra card. You can also re-split, but only once per round. As for double-downs, they are possible on any two-card hand.

IGT baccara

Manufacturer IGT offers its own version of the baccarat game called True Baccarat.

The goal of the game is to guess which player's or banker's hand will be closer to 9. All cards of value 10 (10, J, Q, K) count as zero and aces count as 1. When adding up hands, any hand with a value greater than 9 is subtracted from the total by 10. For example, a three-card hand of 3/7/9 = 19 would count as a 9 if the first digit is discarded. To play, you must bet on the player, the banker and/or the draw. Betting on the draw pays 8:1, betting on the banker pays 19:20 (1:1 minus 5% commission), and betting on the player pays even money. The banker and player will each receive two cards.

If you have placed the highest bet on the player, you will have the opportunity to view the cards on the player's side by pressing "Toss", "Peek", "Side" or "Quick". The player with the "shoe" will always view the banker's cards. The shoe remains with the player until the player's side bet is won and the shoe goes to the next player.
