Innovations at  G2E 2025

“This year, we showcased our latest solutions across our gaming, digital, and systems portfolios and demonstrated the interoperability of content and cabinets across the combined legacy IGT and Everi brands. Highlights included new MLP themes and extensions of popular themes, featuring 12 new Wheel of Fortune Slots titles and the introduction of the Magic Rockets game on the RISE55 cabinet. We also debuted the new RISE32 core video cabinet, featuring titles like Stink Link and King Khufu. In addition, IGT PlayDigital showcased new content in its expanding omnichannel portfolio, with titles like Kitty Glitter Grand, Whitney Houston Slots, and the all-new Eternal Link, which complement the land-based versions of these games. Rounding out our showcase was the latest version of our ADVANTAGE X casino management system, featuring new capabilities with Everi’s FinTech solutions”. Feedback  and  opportunities
