IGT Signs German WAP Deal

IGT has signed an agreement to provide wide-area progressive technology for a system-wide jackpot at Spielbanken Niedersachsen casinos.

Diversified gaming supplier and leading slot manufacturer International Game Technology announced an agreement under which IGT will provide technology for the new Niedersachsen Jackpot Wide Area Progressive (WAP) at Spielbanken Niedersachsen casinos in Germany.

Under the agreement, IGT will work alongside Spielbanken Niedersachsen to provide the operator with tailor-made solutions for players. IGT will brand games so that they harmonize with Spielbanken Niedersachsen’s own corporate identity, in addition to developing a new mathematic formula to fit in with the operator’s specific requirements.

Once complete, customers will have access to the “Mermaid’s Spell” WAP on IGT’s Oxygen cabinet.

The deal represents the third WAP jackpot that IGT has provided to Spielbanken Niedersachsen since 1997. “We know from past experiences that we have chosen the right supplier for our WAP,” Spielbanken Niedersachsen general slot gaming manager Hartmut Meier said. “This is the third WAP we are realizing together, and the cooperation has always been very successful.”

Marcel Heutmekers, IGT’s vice president EMEA and Latin America, added, “This acknowledges our continuous efforts to work in partnership with our customers to develop the best product for their specific needs.”
