International Game Technology PLC announced that it will showcase a spectacular portfolio of games, cabinets and systems innovations at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, Nev., Oct. 7-10, 2024. The event will serve as the global trade show debut for new products across all segments and an opportunity to highlight IGT’s excellence as an end-to-end global gaming supplier.
“IGT’s G2E 2024 portfolio emphasizes our expansion on exciting game themes and leading-edge solutions that have propelled IGT Global Gaming’s growth in key categories such as premium MLP, WAP, video poker, VLT and systems. From extending the Wheel of Fortune brand to additional product categories, to new Tiger and Dragon, Prosperity Link and Whitney Houston Slots themes, and our radically modernized IGT ADVANTAGE X solution, our G2E portfolio caters to our customers’ opportunities of today and the future,” said Nick Khin, IGT President of Global Gaming.
Some of the key highlights within IGT’s G2E booth will include:
Elevating Tiger and Dragon Success to New Heights
IGT’s Tiger and Dragon Multi-Level Progressive (MLP) slot game was a newcomer slot hit of the summer after landing three consecutive #1 finishes on Eilers-Krejcik’s NEW Games Premium Leased and Wide-Area Progressive (WAP) report. IGT is building on the success of the theme with the introduction of three new games: Tiger and Dragon Super Gong and Tiger and Dragon Super Bonus on the PeakCurve 49 cabinet, and Tiger and Dragon Super Arrow on the towering SkyRise cabinet. All three games include the engaging Tiger, Dragon, and Tiger and Dragon bonuses, and add “super” features by way of multipliers and “super arrow”.
Delivering Jackpots that Make You Want to Dance
IGT will shine a bright spotlight on Whitney Houston I Wanna Dance with Somebody Slots. Housed on the stunning Peak65 cabinet, this game leverages strong game mechanics and brings them to life via a spectacular brand. This is IGT’s second Whitney Houston-themed slot game following Whitney Houston Slots, which debuted in the #1 position on the Eilers-Krejcik’s NEW WAP games category. The game features a range of iconic Whitney Houston images, concert footage, and music, including smash hits such as “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” along with six compelling progressive jackpot levels.
Introducing the New Frontier of Casino Management System (CMS) design with IGT ADVANTAGE X
G2E will be the debut of IGT ADVANTAGE X, the latest iteration of the Company’s award-winning CMS technology. The new solution is designed for on-premises and cloud-based deployments and includes modern advancements in systems architecture. Key features of IGT ADVANTAGE X include its service-bus architecture, more accessible and actionable event data via IGT ADVANTAGE Data Link, centralized single sign-on, and multiple functions that will help operators deliver real-time, personalized offers that enhance the player experience. The IGT systems team will also showcase advancements to its Resort Wallet and IGTPay cashless solution by way of new advancements in account security, registration and on-machine slot marker technology.
Advancing High-Limit Play with New Mechanical Reel and Core Video Slot Content
At G2E, IGT will bring back its dedicated zone for high-limit slots, a segment of the market where IGT retains strong leadership. The area will feature mechanical reel games such as Cash Up Jackpots and Red White & Blue 2x3x5x Superstar Respin, and next-generation versions of player-favorite core video titles such as the Wolf Run Wild Moon, Twin Win Diamond, Twin Win Pearl, and Black Widow Grand games.
Extending Wheel of Fortune to Additional Product Categories and Hardware solutions
As previously announced, IGT will have G2E attendees cheering WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE! as the Company makes the legendary slot theme a centerpiece of its trade show exhibition. For the first time, IGT will extend the player-favorite brand to the video poker, ETGs and VLT product categories. These games pair the famous Wheel of Fortune brand with exciting gaming experiences like never before to complement IGT’s diverse Wheel of Fortune slots games portfolio. G2E will also be the trade show debut for 11 new Wheel of Fortune slots games, including the attention-grabbing Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Big Money game on the new Wheel of Fortune Trio cabinet and Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Reels Double Diamond on the DiamondRS Wheel cabinet.
As an end-to-end solutions provider, IGT will also feature new VLT solutions, including the all-new Sierra 27 VLT, Class II games, new historical horse racing content, as well as a range of market-attuned products for international markets.

JCM Global Transforms Chinook Winds Casino Resort’s Casino Floor with Towering Digital Signage at High Limit Area

JCM Global has installed a towering new digital signage solution at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City, Ore.
The digital signage frames the entrance of the casino’s high limit area and creates a stunning visual destination that transforms the casino floor.
Specifically, JCM installed three curved 2.5mm FLEX LITE-S solutions. The two pillars each measure nearly 8 feet high by 7 feet wide, and they connect to an overhead soffit that is nearly 24 feet wide and 5 feet high. The entire solution is programmable and can display different content for each piece of digital signage or showcase one video across all three signs.
The dynamic digital signage replaced static wood pillars and can feature a range of messaging, images, and video limited only by the imagination. This is the first digital signage project JCM has installed at Chinook Winds. The casino also has JCM GEN5 thermal printers on each of its slot machines.
“This breathtaking new entry into our High Stakes room is just the beginning of all the exciting new changes we will be implementing at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. We are glad JCM Global has been able to be a part of this journey,” said Sean Sheridan, Director of Facilities at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
JCM SVP – Sales, Marketing & Operations Dave Kubajak said: “Chinook Winds says, ‘It’s Better at the Beach’, and their management proved it with this incredible digital signage installation. Our digital signage team brought their vision to life with our unique curved displays showcasing their high limit room entrance. The movement of the ocean and the whales on the curved signage truly illustrate the power of digital signage and the virtually limitless creativity it unleashes.”
JCM digital signage solutions transform hospitality areas, indoors, and outdoors. They come in a wide range of sizes and options to perfectly fit any space and enhance the guest experience.

BetMGM Partners with Las Vegas Aces

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, and the Las Vegas Aces announced that BetMGM is the exclusive online casino and sportsbook partner of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. The agreement runs through the 2027 season, marking BetMGM’s first major partnership with a women’s professional sports franchise. Key features include prominent signage at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and sponsorship across Aces social media platforms. Added components of the partnership for BetMGM players include courtside access to pre-game shootarounds and luxury VIP seating.
BetMGM will also serve as an authorized gaming partner of the WNBA through the 2027 season. Under the agreement, BetMGM will receive commercial inventory on nationally televised games, WNBA tickets and experiences for its VIP players, the rights to co-branded content across BetMGM’s digital and social platforms, and articles on wnba.com/WNBABet. Additionally, BetMGM plans to release a WNBA-branded online slot game in the near future in jurisdictions where its iGaming platform is live. The slot game will be available exclusively at BetMGM and represents the first-ever WNBA online casino game.
Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, said: “As we enter this era of tremendous growth in women’s sports, BetMGM could not have two better organizations to partner with than the WNBA and the Aces. Not only do the Aces play in our backyard at Mandalay Bay, but they share our commitment to giving back to the community.”
On May 27, executives from BetMGM, Las Vegas Aces, MGM Resorts International, and The Just One Project (a cornerstone nonprofit committed to increasing access to food, resources and supportive services in Southwest Nevada) gathered in front of The Fountains of Bellagio to launch their partnership. Aces President Nikki Fargas and BetMGM Director of Team & League Partnerships Molly Wurdack-Folt led the festivities, unveiling plans for the “BetMGM Steals for Meals” program whereby BetMGM will donate $50 for The Just One Project to provide meals to food-insecure families for every Aces steal at Michelob ULTRA Arena.
“The Las Vegas Aces are proud to partner with BetMGM for many reasons, but especially for the support they will provide to The Just One Project. As one of the best defenses in the league the past few seasons, especially in front of our home fans, and knowing that each steal will help families in need, this gives our team even more incentive to lock down our opponents on the defensive end,” said Fargas.
Lance Evans, SVP Sports and Sponsorships, MGM Resorts International, said: “Since 2018, the Las Vegas Aces have played a pivotal role in our city’s growth as a global sports and entertainment destination. Together with BetMGM, we look forward to hosting gameday events at Mandalay Bay, as well as our other properties, allowing local and visiting fans to interact with their favorite basketball teams.”
Betting on the WNBA has increased exponentially, and BetMGM experienced 133% growth year-over-year during the 2024 season. BetMGM now offers more betting options than ever before including player props, odds on the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup and increased playoff offerings.
“On the heels of an incredible 2024 season when WNBA delivered significant growth in all areas of fan engagement, and with so much excitement surrounding the 2025 season, we want to continue to lean into betting and finding new and innovative ways to engage with our fans and provide the experiences they want,” said WNBA Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison.
“BetMGM is doing just that by offering new and expansive betting markets for WNBA fans. And by partnering with the Aces, BetMGM continues to recognize the extraordinary potential for growth that comes from tapping into the power of women’s sports and the connections fans have to their favorite players and teams.”

High Roller Submits Gaming License Application in Ontario

High Roller Technologies, operator of the premium online casino brands High Roller and Fruta, announced the submission of its Internet Gaming Operator license application in Ontario, Canada, targeting the launch of its flagship brand HighRoller.com in the second half of 2025.
“The submission of our licensing application to access Ontario’s regulated online gambling market is an important milestone in our Company’s journey. Once our application is approved, we anticipate that we will have the opportunity to launch our online casino product into the market later this year,” said Ben Clemes, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller.
Ontario is one of the largest regulated online gambling markets in the world as measured by gross gaming revenue. In 2024, regulated online gambling operators within the province generated approximately $2.3B in gross gaming revenue, and growth continues to be recorded in the first half of 2025. Recently, the province of Alberta passed enabling legislation to establish a regulatory framework for online gambling. Once available, the Company also intends to pursue licensure in Alberta to expand its regulated market footprint in Canada.
“Ontario is missing an elegant brand like High Roller. We’re excited to roll out the red carpet for our new customers, and we’re looking forward to showcasing our tremendous product,” said Clemes.
