Players in Nevada and

to the same jackpot pool for greater payout potential. The two
properties will celebrate SuperTimes Pay Poker® Mega Progressive
with a casino player event, featuring merchandise giveaways and

"The debut of SuperTimes Pay Poker® Mega Progressive is a huge
milestone for IGT and we are thrilled to collaborate with our
long-time partner, Golden Nugget. The game further builds on our
pioneering spirit to develop best-in-class WAP products as well as
the Company's leading position in the video poker segment.
Las Vegas and Atlantic City are poker powerhouses, making
them ideal markets to offer our most innovative poker product to
date," said Joe Sigrist, IGT VP of
Global Product Development & Operations.
"IGT is our trusted provider of proven poker games, and we are
thrilled to offer video poker's first interstate Wide Area
Progressive. The installation of SuperTimes Pay Poker® Mega
Progressive to our floors allows us to further benefit from IGT's
advanced technology and transform our video poker player experience
with a new avenue for larger jackpot potential. IGT is
changing the landscape of video poker gaming, and we're excited to
be on the forefront of such a significant moment," said
Tom Pohlman, Golden Nugget Atlantic
City Executive Vice President and General Manager.
In 1999, IGT launched its first Wide Area Progressive video
poker games in New Jersey and has
since paid out more than $121 million
in jackpot rewards in the state. IGT's SuperTimes Pay Poker® Mega
Progressive, an evolution of the time-tested title SuperTimes Pay
Poker®, is available as a quarter and dollar game. The new title
offers the Company's Classic Triple Play Draw Poker® game play and
gives players the opportunity to win the top progressive jackpot by
hitting a 10X multiplier and Royal Flush. The game is supported by
IGT AVP® Platform, which allows flexible expandability of games
that can be housed on the hardware, while delivering long-term
usability for operators.
