Slot players have sharp memories, and an even sharper affinity for their preferred game titles. When casino gaming was last regulated in Ukraine, IGT slot themes like Cleopatra™, Mystical Mermaid™, and Wolf Run™ dominated Ukrainian players’ lists of favorites. With the market re-opening, the best is back — this time with an even bigger and better portfolio of compelling content and hardware.
“In addition to re-introducing IGT’s classic game themes, we’re offering a broad portfolio of multigame bundles with today’s most popular titles, including those proven with Eastern European players,” said Mark MacCombie, IGT Vice President, Sales and Operations, EMEA. “This extensive array of classic and new games is available on our state-of-the-art cabinets, adding a more immersive experience to the game themes with their high-resolution multi-screen displays and player-tested ergonomics. In combination with our highly entertaining progressives, IGT’s offering will impress every type of player, and can help drive strong operational results for our Ukrainian customers.”
The key to IGT’s content diversity rests in its USwitch™ multi-game bundles, including the Red, Green, and Yellow game packs for the Ukraine market. Developed with a user-friendly chooser screen designed to help players easily select the most popular content, USwitch multigame packs are market-tailored, with themes in each bundle carefully selected to appeal to specific player preferences and styles of play. Each pack is available on the customers’ choice of IGT form factor, including the Cobalt™, CrystalSlant 27™, CrystalSlant 32™, and PeakSlant32™ cabinets.
IGT’s 40-game USwitch™ Red multi-game pack for Ukraine offers performance-driving content with an emphasis on fruit games. Themes include Red Hot Joker™, a 5X3 reel game offering the chance of frequent large wins and payouts of more than 3,000 times the bet. The Red Hot Joker symbol is both a wild as well as a win multiplier that doubles any win passing through it, stoking players’ excitement. Featuring rich visuals and immersive sound, Red Hot Joker is based on a game mechanic proven in the Eastern European market.
Developed exclusively for the Ukrainian market, IGT’s Green 40-game USwitch multi-game bundle offers Ukrainian players’ classic favorites all in one machine. Proven, longtime performers in the pack include Mystical Mermaid™, Coyote Moon™, Cleopatra™, and Wolf Run™. Meanwhile, the market-attuned USwitch Yellow 40-game pack was developed to significantly expand a property’s fruit game offering.
Inspired by the original Golden Jungle™, one of IGT’s most successful core video releases, Golden Jungle Grand leverages the Wild Stays, Charges, Then Pays feature. On the tenth wagered spin, any reels that have collected at least two Buddha symbols will turn completely wild for that spin, creating a persistence feature that engages players with big-win opportunities.
Hexbreaker® 3 provides a unique dual-layer persistence element that enhances any casino floor. This popular new title challenges players to “break the hex” and change their luck, leveraging a dynamic MultiWay® interface with up to 59,049 ways to win. Horseshoe symbols are available on all five reels; when a horseshoe symbol lands on a reel, the reel height expands to add additional ways, creating big-win opportunities. In addition, Luck Zone prizes sit at the top of each reel and are awarded when a reel grows tall enough to reach one of the prizes.
IGT’s Blazin’ Flames™ mystery progressive jackpot offers a fully flexible setup that can be attuned to each casino floor.
“We’ve leveraged feedback from Eastern European operators to tailor our internationally renowned Blazin’ Flames™ mystery bolt-on progressive to this region,” said MacCombie. “We did this by refining the minimum bet requirements and adapting the Mystery Progressive Jackpot so that it scales effectively to all operational sizes.”
Available on IGT’s sleek, modern new PeakSlant32™ cabinet, IGT’s Olympus Link™ multi-level progressive (MLP) is set to thrill players with its Queen of Olympus™ and King of Olympus™ themes, available as a multigame with both titles on one machine. A four-level progressive with two fixed treasures and two incremental jackpots, Olympus Link includes the popular Hold N Spin bonus feature with a multiplier that can be applied to jackpots, and free games with player interactions that offer extended gameplay.
IGT’s PeakSlant32 features three seamlessly integrated, 32-inch, full-HD displays that deliver an immersive player experience. The cabinet includes IGT’s most advanced lighting and audio technology, offering dynamic attract and celebration sequences, as well as synchronization to the game experience, music, and sounds. It includes a standard inductive wireless charger and USB charging port for player convenience, in addition to ergonomic features.
Expertly crafted, the Cobalt™ 27 Gaming Machine is a shining example of IGT’s commitment to thoughtful design that enhances the player experience. Clad with two high-definition 27” screens, a 24” video topper, integrated cabinet lighting, and extensive button panel flexibility, this cabinet is designed to fit operators’ unique needs, and forge new opportunities on their floors. Cobalt boasts superior serviceability and durability, freeing up staff resources and minimizing downtime for increased return on investment.
