The US-based games and systems developer saw total revenue increase 13 per cent to $541m during the period, driven by increases in North American product sales and interactive businesses.

Although GAAP income from continuing operations decreased five per cent, adjusted income increased 23 per cent.

"As expected, our financial results are strengthening as we move through the fiscal year – evidenced by our growth in both revenues and earnings in our second quarter," said Patti Hart, CEO of IGT. "Every aspect of our business is providing a meaningful contribution to our strong financial performance.

“It's gratifying to see the effort of our employees and the proficiency of our strategic investments generating returns for our shareholders."
