IGT Launches in Spain´s Amusement with Prize ´Salones´ Sector with Compelling, Market-Attuned Solutions

IGT's debut title for the sector is its Magic Fortune™ Link multi-level progressive, known in Spain as a "linked" game, which includes exciting new games that have become salones player favorites.

The salones subsector in Spain represents a total footprint of approximately 3,000 gaming and bingo halls. Featuring a casino-like atmosphere, salones are evolving to offer more video-based, technologically advanced content and hardware, including linked products.

"IGT is well-positioned to serve salones customers in Spain by supplying our market-attuned games through our exclusive distributor, Orenes Grupo," said Mark MacCombie, IGT Senior Vice President — EMEA Gaming."The outstanding results from our first offering, Magic Fortune Link, marks a very encouraging start.

"Magic Fortune Link has proven to engage Spanish players with its entertaining, regionally-attuned game mechanics, and represents the first of what we expect will be many high-performance IGT installations at salones across Spain."

In tandem with the wider release of Magic Fortune Link across the subsector, IGT will continue its ongoing Spanish player research while executing a customized roadmap of new game releases tailored uniquely to these players.

All four themes in IGT's AWP version of Magic Fortune Link™ -- Hephaestus™, Temple of Fire™, Golden Secrets™, and Dreams of Egypt™ -- were adapted for this market.

It features simple maintenance and minimal hardware requirements, an ergonomic and comfortable design, programmable LED lighting, thrilling high-resolution graphics, and an immersive sound system.
