History

IGT has been producing slots and video poker machines since 1975. In the 1980s, it created software that could track a player’s spending, allowing casinos to offer precisely calculated rewards based on theoretical loss, which is now the industry standard. IGT also pioneered progressive jackpots. In the 1990s, the American provider released Nevada Megabucks, the first slot with a minimum $1 million jackpot.

Throughout the 2000s, IGT expanded globally, opening offices in China, Mexico, and Russia. It also started producing online slots with a focus on branded games like Wheel of Fortune. In 2014, Gtech, an Italian gaming company, purchased IGT for a total of $6.4 billion. The two companies merged, and the headquarters was moved to London, UK.

IGT has continued to grow and sign new deals. In 2022, its games became available in Washington state after striking a deal with the Kalispel tribe. In the same year, IGT purchased iGaming provider iSoftBet, getting instant access to over 400 online games.
