LONDON, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game
Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE:IGT) announced that it will supply the
new Niedersachsen Jackpot Wide Area Progressive (WAP) at
Spielbanken Niedersachsen casinos in Germany. The new Niedersachsen Jackpot
comprises 56 machines over 10 different properties.
The latest generation WAP will provide Spielbanken
Niedersachsen's customers with the Mermaid's Spell™ WAP on
IGT's robust and highly reliable OXYGEN™ cabinet. The agreement
represents the third consecutive WAP jackpot provided by IGT to
Spielbanken Niedersachsen since 1997.
"We are very proud to be chosen once again by Spielbanken
Niedersachsen to supply their next WAP offering," said
Marcel Heutmekers, IGT Vice President EMEA and
Latin America.
"This acknowledges our continuous efforts to work in
partnership with our customers to develop the best product for
their specific needs."
Over the coming months, the IGT team will work closely with
Spielbanken Niedersachsen to provide them with a tailor-made
solution for their operations and their players. IGT will brand the
game graphics to harmonize with Spielbanken Niedersachsen's
corporate identity, as it has in the past. Taking into account the
number of machines, locations, the desired hit rate and jackpot
amounts, IGT is developing a new mathematic formula to perfectly
fit Spielbanken Niedersachsen's requirements.
"We know from past experiences that we have chosen the right
supplier for our WAP," said Hartmut
Meier, General Slot Gaming Manager at Spielbanken
Niedersachsen. "This is the third WAP we are realizing
together, and the cooperation has always been very successful. The
game concept is great, and we are convinced that our players will
love it."
The first Niedersachsen WAP was installed by the Company in
1997; it was replaced in 2002.
