IGT Review

Overview

IGT is one of the world’s biggest and most well-known casino game developers, and – founded back in 1990 – they’re also one of the oldest, too. Based in London, IGT has grown exponentially, and now has offices all over the world, with some of their major bases in Rome, Providence, and Las Vegas.

While IGT have been slow to adapt to the online scene, (they do release their games online, but many players find them to be of a lower quality than the games released by their competitors), IGT have a solid track record in land-based gaming, and some of their most famous games include The Wheel of Fortune and Quick Hit – both of which can be found on casino floors all over the world.

IGT deal with all sorts of casino game development, from building the games themselves, to manufacturing land-based gaming cabinets and more – and in this post, we’re going to be taking a closer look at what IGT have to offer, including details of their software platform, the games they offer, and some company details. We’ll also finish off by looking at the pros and cons associated with IGT – so without waiting any longer, let’s get started!

Software Platform

IGT distribute their games through a number of different software platforms, and, online, their games are generally released directly, using either Flash or HTML5 technology. Unfortunately, IGT have been a little slow to the online development table – and you’ll likely find that many of their games are unable to play from mobile devices. As more of the developer’s games are ported over to HTML5, this will change – but in the meantime, you may find that you’re limited to playing their games from your desktop devices.

IGT Popular Games

IGT’s portfolio is massive, and they offer all types of game, from video slots and classic slots, to casino table games and more. In the section below, we’re going to look at a brief summary of IGT’s 10 most popular video slots – and these are the games you’re most likely to see online, as opposed to offline.

Siberian Storm: Siberian Storm is one of IGT’s best-known slots, and while there are many reasons for this, one of the biggest appeals of the game is the fact that there’s a cool 720-ways-to-win, meaning you don’t need to worry about paylines or anything like that. The game features a cold, ice-ridden theme, and you’ll enjoy a number of exciting bonuses and features, including stacked wilds and a fast-paced free-spins bonus. It’s also possible to re-trigger more free-spins during the bonus, so there’s some decent chances to hit big wins!

Texas Tea: Texas Tea is an interesting game from IGT, and the theme is centred around a Texan Oil mogul, who you’ll be joining as you do your best to find oil in the Texan landscape. Using a 9-payline format, Texas Tea is one of IGT’s most volatile games – but that’s exactly what many players want, as while wins are few and far between, when they do come, they’re typically quite a bit bigger than were you playing a low or medium-variance slot. While there’s no free-spins round, there is a bonus feature – and this is triggered by landing 3 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view.

Triple Fortune Dragon: Asian-themed slots are dime-a-dozen… and that’s why it’s important for a game developer to ‘get it right’, when it comes to building the slot. Triple Fortune Dragon is a relatively successful title from IGT, and the game is built around a 243-ways-to-win format, which can equate to some pretty healthy-sized wins in both the base-game and the main free-spins feature. The free-spins bonus is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, and during the bonus, you’ll see a number of exciting additions, including special wild multipliers, boosting your chances of winning!

Cleopatra II: Cleopatra II is one of IGT’s most notable slots, and it’s one of the games that almost all online slot players will know and recognize. The game offers some tremendous win-potential – allowing you to scoop decent-sized wins in both the base-game and the free-spins bonus – and as you can probably imagine, the bonus round is where the money’s at. To trigger this, you’ll need to land 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, and once you do you’ll enter an increasing multiplier free-spins round, where the multiplier increases by 1X each spin. It’s also possible to re-trigger the free-spins, so you can see where the win-potential lies.

Stinkin Rich: Stinkin Rich isn’t one of IGT’s most popular games, but it gets a mention on this list because of the large number of bonuses and features which can be found within the slot. The game’s primary bonus is a “pick me bonus”, which is triggered by landing 3 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. Here, you get to pick from a number of symbols on screen, which then award cash prizes and multipliers. There’s also a free-spins bonus, and it’s possible to win up to 100 free-spins at first, depending on where you manage to land the free-spins scatter symbols on the screen.

Coyote Moon: Wild Wolf was – and is – one of IGT’s most successful slot releases, and given its popularity, the game developer decided to release a sister slot. Coyote Moon is the result of this, and the game has quickly become one of the developer’s most successful ‘sister slot’ releases. Alongside the impressive graphical design within the slot, Coyote Moon features stacked wild symbols in both the base-game and the free-spins round – and the game is favored by players, as it doesn’t typically take too long to trigger the free-spins!

Black Widow: Black Widow is one of IGT’s most iconic video slots, and one of the reasons why the game has become so popular is thanks to the individual reel positions found within the main base-game. Due to this reel positioning, it’s possible to land a full screen of the same symbols – something that can’t be said for the vast majority of slots. Unfortunately, the game uses a fixed payline structure (so if you’re a fan of adjusting the number of paylines you play, you may prefer to play something else) – but, still, it’s a game well-worth playing as it offers a pretty enthrilling experience!

Davinci Diamonds: Davinci Diamonds is arguably the most famous slot on this top 10 list, and the reason behind the game’s popularity is clear. It’s fun-to-play, easy-to-use, and offers some tremendous win-potential – so it’s no surprise to learn that the slot has become a success in both the on and offline markets. The game is also one of the first to use the cool Avalanche Feature, which sees any winning symbols removed from the reels, with new ones dropping down to take their place. (This allows you the potential to keep matching winning combinations for a long time, on the same spin!) Naturally, the game has a free-spins bonus, and this is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view.

Cats: Cats probably lands in the middle of IGT’s slots, when it comes to popularity – and while it’s not yet achieved the levels of success some of their other land-based games have, online, it’s still a title worth mentioning, as the game offers a pretty exciting and thrilling gameplay experience. The slot uses a 30-payline format and benefits from double reel symbols – and there’s also an exciting free-spins round, where it’s possible to continue re-triggering free-spins indefinitely – so it’s a game that can be well-worth playing!

Wolf Run: Wolf Run is a 5-reel, 40-payline video slot from IGT, and the game is easily one of the game developer’s most popular and successful releases to date. One of the main reasons behind the game’s popularity is the fact that it’s capable of producing some jaw-dropping wins… and this is possible in both the base-game and the free-spins bonus – so, if you’re looking for a high-variance slot that truly can pay, this could be the game for you!

IGT have been at the forefront of casino gaming technology since slot machines were a “thing” – and it’s clear the game developer know a thing or two about what players want to see in an online video slot. Their game portfolio doesn’t stop with video slots either, as the company also produce a number of casino table games, video pokies and instant win games.
