IGT unveiled its Cloud solution at the company’s investor conference in New York on Wednesday.
The initiative marks IGT’s move towards “empowering” operators to provide seamless gaming experiences across land-based, mobile and online devices.
“IGT is leading the cloud computing transformation in gaming by offering operators innovative solutions to optimise their operations and casino floors,” said Chris Satchell, the company’s chief technology officer. “Utilising the IGT Cloud will let casino operators focus on what is important to them: players, games and performance.”
According to the company, IGT Cloud delivers efficiency and value to casino operators utilising software as a service. These initial, private, secure IGT Cloud services will enable casinos to manage game content using IGT Floor Manager to access the largest game library in the industry. sbX Analytics will enable casino operators to increase marketing productivity and maximise floor-wide performance with a variety of reporting tools.
The IGT Cloud solution is the result of a collaboration between IGT and CA Technologies to continue innovating how casino games, systems and experiences are delivered, the company said.
"Cloud computing continues to revolutionise the global software and IT industries, driving significant business value. Over time, the new IGT Cloud initiative will allow the gaming industry to realise similar benefits in operations, customer experience and innovation. This will deliver new opportunities for IGT and our customers," added Satchell.
