Leading slot manufacturer International Game Technology has partnered with the Golden Nugget hotel-casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City to launch the world’s first interstate wide-area progressive video poker game.
Super Times Pay Poker Mega Progressive will be offered first at the two Golden Nugget properties, to be expanded to other properties later. Players in Nevada and New Jersey will contribute to the same jackpot pool for greater payout potential.
“The debut of Super Times Pay Poker Mega Progressive is a huge milestone for IGT, and we are thrilled to collaborate with our long-time partner, Golden Nugget,” said Joe Sigrist, vice president of global product development and operations for IGT. “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.”
“IGT is our trusted provider of proven poker games, and we are thrilled to offer video poker’s first interstate wide-area progressive,” said Tom Pohlman, executive vice president and general manager of Golden Nugget Atlantic City. “The installation of Super Times 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.”
