characters, win credits and advance to new levels based on
performance in the title's symbol-matching game. A player's
progress within the game can be transferred from mobile device to
EGM, and back, allowing for a seamless player experience across
devices and channels. Players from across both channels can
compete in real time for progressive payouts.

skill-based bonus event where player performance influences the
bonus reward. Additionally, IGT is showcasing its Texas Tea

Cash™, Double Diamond® Silver Anniversary,
Super Silver 7s™ and Multipliers on Fire™ games.
IGT's systems area will focus on mobile technologies that can
complement and augment existing casino management systems and
streamline the player experience.

loyalty sessions using their mobile devices, and seamlessly
transfer funds from their existing player accounts -- eliminating

- IGT will highlight several of its new mobile systems solutions
that enable operators to quickly and efficiently respond to a
variety of customer and EGM events in real time. Mobile
Notifier enables operators to set and monitor key performance
indicators (KPIs) and provides event notifications such as a large
cage withdrawal. Mobile Dashboard allows operators to
have a comprehensive real-time overview of progress toward KPIs,
and Mobile Voucher Redemption facilitates a seamless
redemption experience for the player.
The Company's Interactive gaming capabilities will be
demonstrated through a series of new cross-channel innovations that
span sports betting, slots, poker and bingo.

the latest social features and enhanced marketing capabilities.
IGT's Cardless Connect systems solution can be embedded into a

slots, place sports bets, and wager on live table games on their
choice of mobile devices, without the need for a physical loyalty
card, TITO tickets nor trips to the casino cashier.

Poker and Interactive Bingo product offerings including
