Great games they made

• Cleopatra

In one of IGT’s most popular games, travel to a distant land with legal rulers and treasure-filled pyramids to rack up sizeable multipliers. In this stylized ancient Egyptian themed-game, try for big wins with a five-reel, 20-payline slot. Brave the desert and line up scarabs and sphinx to walk like an Egyptian to glory!

• Siberian Storm

In this IGT classic, there are a whopping 720 ways to win. Enjoy wilds, scatters and multipliers as you chase a big win. Siberian Storm’s high bet limits make this an ideal slot for high rollers. Once a popular offline slot, Siberian Storm’s classic design and gameplay mechanics was released online in 2017. With a RTP of 96%, it has medium to high volatility.

• Wheel of Fortune On Tour

Putting a twist on its classic counterpart, IGT takes you on the road to riches. Based on the popular U.S. game show, Wheel of Fortune, the game recreates its iconic elements like the prize wheel and introduces wild symbols and bonus rounds to unlock by leveling up. Travel through America’s most famous landmarks for up to 180 levels and win up to 2,500x your stake in the base game.

What makes their games stand-out?

IGT’s games stand out for a number of reasons, from the name-brand titles to their video poker to the attractive jackpots offered. But their standing in the industry is wide-ranging, receiving high marks for their slots’ audio, video and graphics. Here’s more: 

Innovative Features

In recent years, IGT has showed a keen eye for the future: In 2012, the company acquired Double Down Interactive, which hosts the largest free casino on Facebook. For this, IGT stands at the cross-section of gaming and social media. 

Also, in 2014, IGT combined with another leader in the online gambling industry, GTECH. While most of IGT’s top titles are classics, they have stood the test of time by migrating their focus from in-person to online.

Graphics

IGT’s specialty is producing video slots that have high motion and video qualities. Their slots offer a high level of creativity and intuitiveness that some providers lack. Despite these next-level graphics—with bright colors—IGT has succeeded in making sure the look and feel of their games remains classic.

Music

From the Far-East theme in Cleopatra to classic Wheel of Fortune sounds, IGT’s music is specialized for each game. Their background music can be considered upbeat but not too in-your-face as to distract you from the gameplay. A personal favorite is the Coyote Moon music.

Gameplay

From our perspective, what stands out most about IGT’s gameplay is the way they have seamlessly built on their strength of in-person casino games, providing the player with a similar experience online. The gameplay is smooth, visually appealing and noticeable.

Are they optimised for mobile?

IGT’s mobile application is available on iOS and Android devices.

Though nearly all of IGT’s games are able to be played at the click of a button without downloading a plugin or additional software, a lot of their games are not specifically optimised for mobile. 

But IGT has taken strides in the past decade, focusing more on its mobile portfolio. Over the years, the number of slot and table games available on iOS and Android devices has grown significantly. 

Conclusion

For as long as people have been taking their spins, IGT has been providing strong slot options. As one of the biggest names in the industry, IGT has gained a reputation for high-quality products which contain exceptional quality in nearly all aspects. IGT is a confident choice for online players and has received plenty of recognition, winning the award for Best Slot Manufacturer by the International Gaming Awards. By adapting their high-profile slots with mobile technology, IGT is getting stronger as the years go by.
