When Si Redd founded IGT back in the mid 1970s, video poker was the company’s cornerstone. When it went public in 1981, it dominated the video poker market. Not much has changed 40 years later. IGT is still the 800-pound gorilla in the video poker market. Darnell Johnson, the director of product management, explains that new products, bar-top innovations and great games drive the growth of the market and why video poker is one of the staples of the casino gaming market. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros via Zoom from the IGT offices in Las Vegas in January.
