IGT Slots – Hit the News with Recent Developments
International Game Technologies is the major slot machine producer in the United States, controlling more than 2/3 of the market. In general, IGT would sell its devices in a straight line to the casinos. But because of Pennsylvania's unusual prerequisite that slot machines pass all the way through in-state distributors, the corporation or companies that win the right to supply IGT machines stand to achieve the largest distribution contracts, worth millions over the future years to come.
Atlantic City Slot Service Co. of New Jersey City, which distributes slot machines for IGT reports that any out-of-state company that wants to provide machines in Pennsylvania most probably would have to open a branch office or supplementary in Pennsylvania.
Future distributors who don't make IGT's short list have worked to arrange in a line themselves with other slots companies, and those companies, like IGT, have examined potential distributors and established on finalists, these lucky ones would generate high revenues in 2006-9, the period of their contract. The board has said it will certify all capable distributors, then "let the market make a decision" which distributors win contracts with slots manufacturers.
