The words “Lightning Link” instantly put a smile on any slot player’s face, and with good reason. The game is nothing less than a global phenomenon with its fun and intuitive straight-forward game play. Now Lightning Link is coming to Class II jurisdictions.

Players will recognize the exciting game play because this new Class II version was created by the same Aristocrat studio that developed the original Lightning Link. The new Class II edition launches with Aristocrat’s player-favorite titles: Heart Throb™, High Stakes™, Magic Pearl™, and Tiki Fire™.   While the game functionality is the same, this new Class II version is exclusively available on Aristocrat’s MarsX™ Upright cabinet. Plus, players can choose from additional $1 and $2 denominations, and there is an increased max bet of $50 – options that are not available in the Class III version.   For more information, contact your Aristocrat representative today.

When the Caesars Entertainment takeover of the William Hill sportsbook became official last year, Joe Asher knew it was time for the next chapter in his professional life.

In October, the former CEO of William Hill’s U.S. operations accepted a job overseeing the International Game Technology sports betting division, PlaySports.

A Delaware native who is a regular at Vegas Golden Knights games and has a keen interest in the Nevada sports betting scene, Asher spent some time with the Las Vegas Sun to talk about his new role and the expanding sports wagering industry in the U.S.

Joe Asher, president of sports betting for International Game Technology (IGT)

Tell us about your job at IGT. What are you doing?

I oversee the sports betting business, which is hardware and software to run sportsbooks. On the hardware side, it’s the kiosks and terminals and the display boards. Then, there’s the software to actually run the book. Business has grown pretty substantially since PASPA (the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act that restricted nationwide sports betting) was overturned and there’s a lot going on.

How is it different from what you were doing at William Hill?

At William Hill, we were dealing with customers directly. The customer was the guy like me watching sports. At IGT, we’re not the consumer-facing brand, so we’re partnering with the consumer-facing brand. In Las Vegas, that would be Boyd Gaming properties or Resorts World.

The magnitude of the decisions on a Sunday during football season are much smaller for me now, but I’m still pretty close to it, which I enjoy. I still talk through what the right number should for the line on, for instance, the Green Bay game.

We obviously want to help our partners get those numbers right. I enjoy that very much, but it’s different in my role now.

Legal sports betting seems to be gaining in popularity — and availability — by the minute. Largely driven by the NFL, over $2 billion in sports wagers were made in Nevada alone during the last two months of 2021. Where do you see the future of the industry?

Look, the National Football League is a juggernaut and it just keeps getting more popular. They do a great job promoting their product. We’re all watching the NFL, and that’s translating into betting.

You see the betting numbers lately, and it’s unprecedented. You see that in the numbers being released by the various states and it what the operators say.

As new markets develop, sports betting will continue to grow. The latest thing is the opening up of mobile (betting) in New York. We’re up to 20 or 22 states and there will be more states to come.

As for Nevada, I’ve always said that sports betting in other states wouldn’t hurt Nevada but would actually help, if anything. I think that myth has been put to bed. I think we’re seeing that with what’s going on.

The new sports betting customers, who are they? Are they mostly younger people in that coveted 18 to 40 age range?

The way I look at it, the introduction of sports betting in all these new states, and the advertising around it and embracing of it by leagues and media companies, is obviously bringing new fans and customers. That’s only going to continue.

Look, not everyone who’s watching a game is betting on it, but pretty much everyone who’s betting on a game is watching it. The real opportunity that’s there is introducing more and more people to the broader view of this, even beyond sports.

Look at Caesars Entertainment, they’re using sports betting to attract all these new customers who are going to visit their properties.

Sports betting is probably the single greatest customer acquisition tool in the history of the U.S. casino business. People may sign up for a mobile sports account, but then they’re going to get offers to visit a casino and eat in restaurants and stay in hotels and go to shows.

The sports scene is exploding right now in Las Vegas. With the Raiders here and the Golden Knights and their success these past few years, people are also talking about possible Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball franchises coming to Southern Nevada. Can Las Vegas support all of these teams?

The major league teams, yes, for sure. When the Eagles played the Raiders last year (at Allegiant Stadium), I think half of Philadelphia was here for that game.

I was down on the Strip that weekend and it was something else. The impact of Allegiant Stadium has been significant, and we all know what the Golden Knights have been able to do.

Then, yes, we’re all waiting to see what the (Oakland) A’s do and if they might come to Las Vegas. Obviously, all of that is great for business if you’re in the sports betting business, but it’s also had a great impact on broader Las Vegas. It goes far beyond sports betting.

Indigo Sky Branded App Represents Launch of Sightline Partnership with IGT

 

LAS VEGAS (February 2, 2022) – Sightline Payments today announced the planned launch of its mobile loyalty platform, JOINGO, at Indigo Sky Casino & Resort in Wyandotte, Oklahoma in Q1 of this year. Leveraging JOINGO’s seamless integration with the IGT ADVANTAGE™ casino management system, the Indigo Sky branded mobile app will feature mobile marketing tools that give patrons a unified experience from the convenience of their iOS or Android devices, enhancing the experience for all GO Rewards Club members.

Owned and operated by the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, Indigo Sky boasts one of the largest casinos in northeastern Oklahoma. Its casino floor features over 1,400 gaming machines, various table games, and a bingo hall. The resort includes two hotel towers and an RV park, and its Creekside Bar & Grill offers the area’s only golf simulator.

In 2021, Sightline Payments announced a partnership with IGT to provide solutions to aid in the deployment of cashless gaming technology through IGT’s suite of systems innovations, including Resort Wallet™ with IGT Pay™. They recently expanded the partnership to include Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform, JOINGO. The launch of the JOINGO mobile loyalty solution at Indigo Sky Casino & Resort will be the first product launch for Sightline with IGT following these announcements.

With Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform, Indigo Sky will be able to enhance customer engagement with modern, mobile-driven marketing. The platform integrates with Indigo Sky’s casino and nongaming management systems, allowing the property to deliver automated, real-time marketing messages to guests’ mobile devices with personalized GO Rewards Club activations. Guests will be able to use the Indigo Sky mobile app to virtually check in for drawings or promotional contests, eliminating the need to stand in line at physical kiosk locations to do so.

“We’re always looking for new ways to enhance our guests’ experiences, and Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform helps us deliver an integrated mobile app solution that meets the demands of today’s customer,” said Melanie Heskett, General Manager of Indigo Sky Casino & Resort. “Guests want to do everything from their mobile device and launching our app will give them this everyday convenience while expanding our abilities to offer more personalized marketing promotions.”

“Mobile engagement solutions meet customers where they are, and the Indigo Sky mobile app will deliver the same seamless mobile-first experience that customers have come to expect in their everyday lives,” said Kirk Olson, Senior Vice President, Mobile at Sightline Payments. “Adopting mobile solutions like Sightline’s mobile loyalty platform helps casinos modernize their customer experience while enhancing their marketing capabilities.”

Indigo Sky is also planning to integrate its mobile app with IGT’s Resort Wallet product and the IGT Pay solution at a later date.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Everi Holdings Inc. (NYSE: EVRI) ("Everi" or "the Company"), a premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, financial technology, and player loyalty solutions, announced today it has been named to the "Top Workplaces USA 2022" list as a result of an independent employee engagement survey conducted by Energage. This marks a total of five top workplace awards earned by Everi during the last 12 months.

Top Workplaces USA celebrates organizations with 150 or more employees that strive to build a great workplace culture. Over 42,000 organizations were invited by Energage to have their employees participate in the Top Workplaces USA employee engagement survey, with results calculated by comparing the survey's research-based statements, including 15 "culture drivers" that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks.

"It is incredibly gratifying to see yet another national recognition for Everi's diverse team of passionate and talented individuals," said Michael Rumbolz, Everi Chairman and CEO. "Our core values guide everything we do at Everi, and at the center of our values is our strong culture of inclusion and collaboration. These awards clearly identify and recognize our efforts to foster a diverse and cohesive culture across multiple office locations and among our employees who continue to work remotely."

The latest recognition as a "Top Workplaces USA 2022" joins a growing list of awards for Everi. The Company earned a "Greater Austin Top Workplaces 2021" distinction from The Austin American-Statesman, as well as a "Nevada Top Workplaces 2021" award from The Las Vegas Review-Journal and Las Vegas Business Press. Everi also earned national plaudits in 2021, winning a Top Workplaces 2021 Culture Excellence Award for "Direction" due to employees' high ratings and their proven willingness to be more invested in Everi's culture because of a belief in the direction set by senior leadership, and a 2021 Culture Excellence Award for "Remote Work" in October due to diligent efforts to create a desirable culture in a remote work environment. Everi's India offices also recently received an annual certification as a "Great Place to Work®" from the Great Place to Work Institute in India, based on positive employee feedback gathered through an independent employee engagement survey.

"Companies need to actively cultivate a cohesive employee culture while authentically representing their brand to job-seekers," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "We believe the employee experience is mission-critical and think that leaders who embrace a people-first culture benefit greatly. By giving employees a voice and showcasing an authentic culture, organizations can attract and retain job seekers, ultimately resulting in strong corporate performance."

IGT continues diversity and inclusion leadership with perfect score on the 2022 Corporate Equality Index for workplace equality

LONDON, Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) announced today that it received a perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation's 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), earning the global company the coveted "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality" designation. The nation's leading benchmarking survey for LGBTQ+ equality in the workplace, the CEI evaluates corporate policies and practices to measure an employer's commitment to workplace equality.

IGT joins the ranks of a record-breaking 842 U.S.-based companies to receive a perfect CEI score this year. The educational arm of the nation's largest LGBTQ+ civil rights advocacy group, the HRC Foundation rated businesses on detailed criteria across four central pillars:
- Non-discrimination policies across business entities.
- Equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families.
- Supporting an inclusive culture.
- Corporate social responsibility.

"IGT earning the HRC Foundation's 'Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality' designation is a reflection of our commitment to provide a workplace culture that is welcoming, equitable and empowering to LGBTQ+ employees across the globe," said Vincent Sadusky, IGT CEO. "I wish to thank our approximately 11,000 employees worldwide, especially members of PRIDE with IGT, who together with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion embrace and activate IGT's core values and contributed to this milestone achievement."

"This designation reinforces that IGT's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is focused on impact," said Melissa Pursley, IGT Vice President and COO IGT Indiana and Co-Executive Sponsor of PRIDE with IGT. "Many in the LGBTQ+ community still struggle to thrive at work, and as a senior leader at IGT and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am proud that IGT has taken consistent steps to ensure that this is not the case for our colleagues."

"When the Human Rights Campaign Foundation created the Corporate Equality Index 20 years ago, we dreamed that LGBTQ+ workers—from the factory floor to corporate headquarters, in big cities and small towns—could have access to the policies and benefits needed to thrive and live life authentically," said Jay Brown, Human Rights Campaign Senior Vice President of Programs, Research and Training."We are proud that the Corporate Equality Index paved the way to that reality for countless LGBTQ+ workers in America and abroad. But there is still more to do, which is why we are raising the bar yet again to create more equitable workplaces and a better tomorrow for LGBTQ+ workers everywhere. Congratulations to IGT for achieving the title of 'Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality' and working to advance inclusion in the workplace."

Since 2018, IGT has implemented a range of programs, policy and systems changes, and leading practices that have promoted all dimensions of diversity to make the Company a more attractive and inclusive employer. Some of these actions include:
- Introducing gender affirming medical benefits for transgender employees.
- Offering competitive benefits for same sex partners, regardless of marital status.
- Creating gender neutral restrooms at major IGT campuses.
- Implementing more inclusive and equitable hiring processes.
- Establishing and supporting PRIDE with IGT, an employee-led and executive-sponsored Diversity and Inclusion Group.

Every issue we ask slot manufacturers what tools and strategies slot directors can benefit from that they might not be taking full advantage of. 

In this article we interviewed Cody Herrick (CH), Senior Director of Game Design and Mike Trask (MT), Vice President of Product Marketing & Global Communications, Ainsworth Game Technology, and Dan Schrementi (DS), President of Gaming, Incredible Technologies

What should be the most significant change or strategy that Tribal casinos should focus on for their gaming product in 2022? (Is it more about connecting social gaming and on-property machines? Is it addressing new layouts due to social distancing? Is it changing up the slot floor mix?)

CH/Ainsworth: We are seeing new layouts and changes due to social distancing have an impact on game performance. Casinos and manufacturers both need to communicate better about floor changes. We want to make sure to provide the best options to fit a casino floor. Manufacturers and casino properties similarly must communicate better about how online gaming – both real money and social – are being used in Tribal markets. Both issues will significantly drive our product strategy.

DS/Incredible: Tribal operators have always been able to embrace innovation in gaming faster than large commercial operators can. Additionally, Tribal operators are the only operators who can run Class II games. 2022 should focus on the integrations of new, bold technologies to a Tribe’s operation – both with the games on the floor and online. Additionally, Tribes should look for opportunities to marry Class II opportunities into this strategy. Class II affords developers different ways to create gaming experiences that only Tribes can offer.

MT/Ainsworth: The success of our Showroom Live events has been tremendous. We have done dozens of live demos of our products, such as those in partnership with Tribal Gaming & Hospitality, but also one-on-one with customers who wouldn’t typically visit our Las Vegas headquarters or a big tradeshow. These have given our partners the chance to speak directly with our game developers, product managers and executives in real time while they see the products. We have done this both in our office, and at G2E and NIGA. Even as live events come back, I don’t see that kind of communication going away.

DS/Incredible: We have always offered custom video advertising integrated with our slot machines as a value-add of doing business with us. Most of our games ship with video signage that sits between the machines to create unique shapes and allow our art team to work with properties to collaborate on advertising for their floor. The pandemic brought on a new purpose for these separators – creating wider spacing and adding in pandemic-related messaging. Wider casino floors and bank layouts will be here to stay, and we will continue to offer this service for our customers.

During the last year, what have been the biggest “aha moments” from the slot vendor side, and will these change the way that you do business and develop products in 2022?

DS/Incredible: The biggest “aha moment” from our point of view is the emphasis on product diversification in our industry. Being a well-rounded vendor who can service multiple segments is more critical than trying to dominate the charts in one segment. COVID-19 shutdowns, supply chain delays, remote work – these are just some of the challenging examples that forced slot manufacturers like Incredible Technologies to pivot. Strengthening our portfolio with “Land-Based versus Online,” “Class III versus Class II, HHR,” “Slots versus Table Games” are just some of the ways that we have grown to prepare for the year ahead. Look across the industry and you will likely find similar examples from all of us on the vendor side.

Social distancing protocols shifted the layout of our gaming floors for a time. How are you as a gaming manufacturer addressing this in your product and layout? What are your clients asking for today?

MT/Ainsworth: The most tangible example of this is the launch of our A-STAR Curve XL cabinet. Our initial launch focuses on three-game pods with attractive infills between the games. This sort of configuration naturally provides social distancing. Perhaps in the past, we would have had launches with some kind of side-by-side seating.

DS/Incredible: Our industry has always known that smaller bank configurations in circular or triangular shapes were the best producing in a casino’s retail environment. Many operators have been space or power-constrained, preventing investment of time and money to reconfigure this way. The pandemic offered up the time for many operators to do these upgrades, and the effect is still carrying through today. Just this week, I heard my first request from an operator working on a large expansion saying, “our expansion area will only feature circular pods.” With time, the days of the long “grocery aisles” of games will be gone.

GAN has heaped praise on “an incredible opportunity” to scale its portfolio in the US, after linking-up with Relax Gaming to distribute content from its recently acquired Silverback Gaming studio.

The Bulgarian studio plans on doubling its headcount by 2023 as it aims to produce 50 mobile-first online slot games in the next three years, adding to the supplier’s portfolio which includes titles such as Aztec Luck and Mystery Stacks.

Relax now offers its partners more than 3,000 online casino games, featuring slots from its in-house studios alongside a collection of content aggregated through its Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partnership programmes.

Simon Hammon, CPO of Relax Gaming, explained: “Relax Gaming is delighted to continue its partnership with both Silverback and now GAN as part of its continued drive to work with innovative and promising studios under our Silver Bullet program.

“Silverback has delivered popular content that shows true potential and we are excited about the continuation of this successful partnership and Silverback Gaming’s packed roadmap.”

This distribution agreement comes after GAN purchased the online casino games developer in December 2021, which sees the group receive exclusive rights to all current and future Silverback titles.

The acquisition came as part of a strategy to increase the group’s overall ‘take rate’ on existing B2B gross operator revenue derived from igaming, as well as growing its share from B2C operators in the US who are not already platform clients.

Raph Di Guisto, SVP of Silverback Gaming at GAN, added: “Our partnership with a premier B2B partner like GAN and the ability to leverage their proven technological platform and distribution network presents an incredible opportunity to scale our portfolio into the US market.

“In addition, marrying our resources and teams of engineers will expedite our ability to bring new and exciting games to players over the coming years.

“We are very pleased to continue our relationship with Relax Gaming to ensure the best scope of distribution for our existing and upcoming content”

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayAGS, Incorporated (NYSE: AGS) ("AGS" or the "Company") today announced selected preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021 in conjunction with the Company's intention to explore a refinancing of its outstanding revolving credit facility and term loan credit facilities. A refinancing transaction could include increasing the size of the Company's revolving credit facility, extending its debt maturities and reducing its borrowing costs. Additionally, the Company could look to use a material amount of cash on the Company's balance sheet that could exceed $50 million in connection with such refinancing.

AGS President and Chief Executive Officer David Lopez said, "Our preliminary fourth quarter 2021 financial results further reflect the operating momentum we are witnessing across all three segments of our business. I continue to believe we have the best lineup of new products in our Company's history and am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead." 

The information for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 included in this release is preliminary, has been prepared by the Company's management, has not been reviewed or audited by the Company's auditors and represents the best estimates of management based on the information available to them as of the date of this release. The Company is in the process of completing its audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and currently anticipates releasing its 2021 fourth quarter and full year results on March 10, 2022, after the market close. As a result, the information for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 included in this release is subject to adjustments, and it is possible that the Company's actual reported financial results may differ from the estimates included in this release due to the completion of audit procedures and final adjustments that may arise between now and the time the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 are finalized, audited and reported. The Company cannot provide any assurances to you that when the estimated financial information for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 presented in this release is finalized, audited and reported that such financial information will not be materially different from the information presented herein. 

The Company is sharing these preliminary financial results with its prospective lenders in connection with a potential refinancing transaction. The Company has not committed to engage in any refinancing transaction and the pursuit of any refinancing transaction is subject to market conditions.

Introducing 2022 Net Leverage Target

Supported by the current operating momentum being witnessed across all three business segments, the Company is targeting to reach a net leverage ratio (Net Debt divided by trailing-12 month Adjusted EBITDA) of less than 4.0x by December 31, 2022. The Company's net leverage ratio target does not contemplate, nor is it dependent upon, a refinancing of its outstanding indebtedness.

The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its target for trailing 12-month Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is its corresponding GAAP measure, because this GAAP measure is difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to its dependence on future uncertainties, such as the adjustments or items discussed below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.
