IGT Will Provide 'The Right Choice' of Products and Technology at Global Gaming Expo 2008

    LAS VEGAS, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The complete convergence of
games, systems and server-based gaming, encompassing "The Right Choice,"
will be the centerpiece of IGT's (NYSE: IGT) booth No. 913 at the Global
Gaming Expo 2008, scheduled for Nov. 18-20 at the Las Vegas Convention
Center.

    Center stage in IGT's booth will be the new suite of IGT machine models
-- featuring the award-winning Service Window and all with the power of the
AVP(R) platform -- that converge with a new library of game themes and
sbX(TM). sbX(TM) is more than just a server-based system; it's a new
category of Experience Management. It allows a casino to design and manage
customized player experiences for a distinct competitive advantage. The
sbX(TM) Tier One package includes the first G2S server-based game
management solution in an all-inclusive package. It will allow operators to
experience sbX(TM) Floor Manager in a bank-by-bank solution. IGT will also
spotlight new and different sbX(TM) Tournament and bank bonus applications
that further enhance the gaming experience.

    Making its debut at G2E 2008 is MultiPlay(TM) game play -- innovation
only available from IGT. MultiPlay(TM) Video Slots let players play one
theme up to four times, simultaneously, on the same machine. Some
MultiPlay(TM) games will have four progressive jackpots that can be won at
once. The MultiPlay(TM) Video Slot family includes well-known games --
Cleopatra(R), Wolf Run(R) and Lil' Lady(R) -- and new themes, Hawaiian
Sunset(TM) and Golden Eagle(TM).

    The Standard product line will showcase Australia's No. 1 import, the
Clovers & Gold(TM) Progressive Video Slot, and new S AVP(R) additions, Pink
Diamond(TM) Slots and Slingo Mahjong(TM) Slots. IGT's new family of
REELdepth(TM) games uses Multi-Layer Display(R) (MLD(R)) technology, an
ingenious layering of two Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) that creates the
visual effect of true depth without the use of 3-D glasses. It also allows
players to switch between spinning reel game play, video slots and video
poker all on one gaming machine. New REELdepth(TM) games -- Glitter &
Gold(TM) Slots, Magic Butterfly(TM) Slots and 7s Storm(TM) Slots - feature
colorful 3-D-like graphics packages and RGB lighting in umbrella families.
Those, and new umbrella families Fire Bells(TM) Slots and Greenback
Attack(TM) Slots, are proof that IGT has "The Right Games."

    The MegaJackpots(R) product line will be represented by the new Star
Wars(TM) Multi- Level Progressive with its competitive group-play bonus;
new Megabucks(R) and The Joker's Wild(R) versions that feature
REELdepth(TM) Multi-Layer Display(R) (MLD(R)) technology; Multi-Level
Progressive versions of Jeopardy!(R) and ELVIS(R); I Dream of Jeannie(TM)
Magic Carpet Ride(TM); Sydney Omarr's Zodiac Wheel(TM); four new multi-game
themes for the Fort Knox(R) Mystery Progressive; and a new Barcrest game
called Wheel Hottie(TM). New video poker themes will include Quick
Quads(TM) Single Hand, Ultimate X Poker(TM), Triple Spin(TM), Wheel Poker
II(TM) and Dream Card Poker 3X5X10X(TM). New Barcrest USA game titles will
be Dazzling Dollars(TM), Greed is Good(TM) and several AVP(R) spinning-reel
versions of Top Dollar(R).

    Network Systems will showcase IGT Advantage(R), still unmatched in the
market, with critical casino management enhancements. The multi-functional
EZ Pay(R) Smart Card modernizes the single-purpose player's card. The IGT
Mariposa(TM) business intelligence suite allows operators to transform data
into actionable information. Systems Services leverages IGT's technology
and is the most experienced support team in the industry today. The
Professional Services group consults with customers to find solutions that
help leverage operator investments.

    The IGT Global Technology & Interoperability Center is bringing
together gaming manufacturers, strategic partners and system integrators to
test systems and equipment in a real-life environment. The Center is
offered to the industry in the name of collaboration.

    The M-P Series(TM) lineup will include Roulette Evolution(TM) in
animated, automated and live-dealer versions, Golden Baccarat(TM) and the
Triple Towers(TM) horse race game, as well as an entire pit featuring
DigiDeal(R) electronic table games. Table iD(R) combines table management
software, RFID chip tracking and game analysis in one solution, along with
the original Lucky Draw bonus.

    A special area will be devoted to the extensive WagerWorks game library
which includes MegaJackpots(R) Cleopatra(R), Vegas Blackjack with Bonus,
Triple Fortune Dragon(TM), Elvis(R) -- A Little More Action(TM) and Da
Vinci Diamonds(R). Walker Digital will feature, new to the Guaranteed
