Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

IGT to Showcase Exciting Slot Games and Innovative Systems at G2E Asia 2010
The top casino gaming products designed to improve the player and operator experience take the stage in Asia.

By: PR Newswire
May. 27, 2010 09:00 AM

MACAU, S.A.R., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Game Technology, a global leader in creating the games players love and network systems that improve the player experience, will display the latest products for the Asian Gaming market on 9-10 June at G2E Asia 2010 in Macau. IGT will thrill attendees with an exciting lineup of groundbreaking slot games and revolutionary casino system's products.

"IGT is stronger than ever - with slot games and network systems products designed to help casinos thrive," said John Gomes, managing director for IGT Asia. "This year, IGT has committed itself to truly taking gaming to the next level with the right products to help our customers drive revenue and thrill players. And at G2E Asia, you will see this in full force. We are excited to demonstrate how our cohesive game and system product lines perform together for unparalleled operator and player benefit."

The hottest game around the globe is the Sex and the City(TM) slot, and players can't get enough. At G2E Asia, IGT will showcase two versions of this hot game - MultiPLAY (four games on one machine, each with a different outcome) and the single-play version. Packed with strong brand recognition, clips from the show, all your favorite characters and tons of bonus action, winning never looked so good.

IGT creates an immersive gaming experience with its new Center Stage Series. It's an eye-catching, awe-inspiring platform, designed to deliver extra-large fun to players and big time flexibility to operators. Two versions are available: a 103-inch screen with five player stations and a 70-inch screen with four player stations. Much like a movie theater, casinos install the platform (screens, seats and all) just once, and change out software for themes as they become available. At G2E Asia, the first run themes will include Wheel of Fortune® Triple Spin and American Idol® Video Slots.

Joining the Wheel of Fortune® family is Wheel of Fortune® Triple Spin Video Slots. This Group Play game features IGT's exclusive MultiPLAY interface with three 4x4 independent reel grids and MultiWay® game play. The game features unique independent reels with a re-spin feature where four like symbols in center grid initiate a re-spin. Players will enjoy the 90-credit cost to cover all three games and 450-credit max bet. Exciting bonus action features awards from one to three bonus wheels plus a Mystery Slices bonus which awards random credits.

Randy, Simon, Kara and Ryan grace the Center Stage screen along with your favorite (and not so favorite) contestants from the most-watched show on television today. American Idol® slots take MultiPLAY to the next level with a "five play" setup, with all video screens spinning simultaneously but each with a different result. And the bonus rounds, in which players get to "be the judge," are chock-full of auditions from the show - Kelly, Carrie, the good and the bad. They're all here for your players' listening and winning pleasures.

Super Nova Blast(TM) Multi-Level Progressives deliver IGT's first 3D group play bonus - bringing the game to life with animated symbols. An engaging bonus involves all eligible players and is timed to occur frequently - keeping players' anticipation high. Debuting at release are three base games: Abra Cash Dabra(TM), Pterodactyl Triples(TM) and Ringmaster Riches(TM) 3D Slots. All three are available on each S MLD® machine model so players can choose their favorite.

Players who enjoy MultiPLAY love to play four games at once in a single spin, they love the extra bonuses, and they are comfortable with this new way to game. IGT continues to offer even more MultiPLAY themes and will showcase many new versions at G2E Asia. Enhanced video slot versions, Fortune Tsunami(TM), Capistrano(TM) and Caribbean Breeze(TM) MultiPLAY Video Slots, introduce the Wild Rollover(TM) feature, which occurs in both base game and Free Games, taking Stacked Wilds® to the next level.

Tipsy the Lucky Elephant has a reason to party with the debut of Party Time! 2(TM) Mystery Progressives. Now with the power of AVP® technology, this second generation of the popular Party Time!® platform ramps up the fun factor. Four initial base games each with a retriggering Free Games bonus feature plus six progressive levels offer an exciting player experience. And just like with the original Party Time!® games, Party Time! 2(TM) features Tipsy the Lucky Elephant who playfully appears during the bonus feature.

Diamond Factory(TM) Multi-Level Progressives give players a guaranteed first-level win and a chance at advancement in the Mystery Bonus feature. Featuring four progressive award levels, this new game concept debuts with three base games: Mystical Witch(TM) Video Slots, Samurai Tail(TM) Video Slots and Sushi Spin(TM) Video Slots. Four progressive jackpot levels, random mystery bonuses and Free Games keep players excited and engaged.

Play IGT's new Top Dollar® Reel MultiPLAY game at G2E Asia and meet the dapper Bill Cash, who guides players through the game as a razzling, dazzling show host. The Top Dollar® theme has been a favorite for a decade, and this 3D version takes the classic, arcade-style game to a new level of fun. It has the traditional Top Dollar® "Take Offer, Try Again" proposition, and not one, but two reel games that spin simultaneously and stop with individual outcomes.

Put your players in control with Crystal Fortunes(TM) Multi-Level Progressives. The bonus play gives players a choice to accept or reject award offers - modeled after the popular Top Dollar®-style bonus. And with eight progressive award levels and three credit awards, players have a variety of win possibilities. A special Crystal Ball Preview feature gives the player a chance to see the current offer and the next one for a glimpse into their possible future.

House of 9 Dragons(TM) Multi-Level Progressives delivers multi-game flexibility and higher earnings associated with MultiPLAY games. Debuting at release are two base games: Coral Reef(TM) and Saguaro(TM) MultiPLAY Video Slots. Both are available on each machine so players never have to wait for a unique base game experience. Nine in-house progressive levels with engaging group play features and a progressive bonus that initiates frequently, creating player anticipation and enjoyment.

Entertaining, engaging games are just the beginning of IGT's innovation. IGT's industry-leading network systems products are developed following the same commitment to superior user experiences, operator profit and overall product excellence.

sbX(TM) makes jobs easier, players happier and bottom lines healthier. The sbX(TM) Experience Management System went live at ARIA at CityCenter in December - and the execution was flawless. sbX(TM) is a game changer, and IGT will demonstrate its prowess at G2E Asia 2010. sbX(TM) Floor Manager means ultimate access to the IGT game library, while sbX(TM) Media Manager enables targeted messages and services to the Service Window.

What was once a multi-year decision for a casino operator is now a 15-second decision with access to the industry's largest game library. Before, an operator had to make a long-term commitment to a game purchase. With sbX(TM), the operator can now have a machine with an entire library of games tied to it - allowing them unmatched flexibility for game mix decisions. With sbX(TM), operators can more effectively deliver great games and unique applications to the player- right at the slot machine.

The IGT Service Window solution was designed based on Gaming Standard Association (GSA) protocols, and provides a unique player interaction experience. When the player inserts his players club card, a special "window" slides the game screen over, providing a menu of information and services the player and operator can customize. No additional hardware is needed to run the Service Window on any modern AVP® machine.

IGT Casinolink® supports all the facets of a gaming operation by linking the management of slot machines, table games, account-based wagering, marketing and the cage into one comprehensive system. This integrated yet modular design enables operators to implement flexible solutions that are right for their property.

IGT Casinolink® provides a powerful business tool for operators worldwide. With more than 40 customers operating more than 300 casinos around the globe, the IGT Casinolink® system's scalable architecture is fully configurable to meet any property's unique needs.
