IGT will showcase 10 new game families as well as a revamped jackpot strategy for the local ANZ market at the upcoming Australasian Gaming Expo (AGE) taking place at ICC Sydney from 12 to 14 August 2025.
This will also be IGT’s first trade show in the Asia-Pacific region since it was acquired alongside FinTech firm Everi by Asset management giant Apollo in July.
“As IGT enters a new era of growth and transformation, AGE 2025 is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate our laser-focus on delivering an unrivaled solutions portfolio, and our unique position to serve as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for our customers across Australia and New Zealand,” said Dallas Orchard, IGT SVP and COO, APAC.
“At AGE 2025, IGT will present a diverse range of standalone and linked progressive games with exciting new titles such as Hot Stuff Link and Bandit Link & Loot, as well as our IGT ADVANTAGE CLUB system with advancements to Service Window and other convenience-enhancing modules.”
With a market-attuned portfolio of more than 50 unique link and standalone game titles on show, some of the game highlights to be displayed include Mega Vault Link, which makes its trade show debut. Mega Vault Link combines two highly popular mechanics – Choose Your Volatility and Hold and Spin – while its base game themes Emperor’s Guardians, Great Southern Land, Jin Longzhou and Vegas Baby offer two progressive jackpot levels, one linked and one standalone, and exciting bonus events.
Also on show will be Hot Stuff Link, an all-new chili-themed game presented on the PeakDual27 cabinet and featuring three progressive jackpots and two bonus prize levels. The title includes a leveled-up Hold and Spin series that incorporates an exciting prize wheel mechanic for additional bonus fun. The game will also be offered in an SAP version.
Bandit Link & Loot – which pairs a Hold and Spin mechanic within a Hold and Spin bonus to deliver a highly compelling in-game event – and Tiger and Dragon, IGT’s multi-level progressive sensation will also be a focal point.
“IGT’s line-up for AGE 2025 is the most exciting portfolio that we’ve presented in recent years.” said Matt Wright, IGT Product Director APAC. “In addition to showcasing 10 new game families, we will reveal our revamped jackpot strategy for the ANZ market, as well as IGT’s rejuvenated on-screen look and feel.
“Our development focus has been on delivering an elevated player experience through trending mechanics and enhanced art packages. For example, our Firework Link provides players with a Hold and Spin inside Hold and Spin experience, coupled with new innovative free-game mechanics; and Mega Vault Link morphs the two most popular mechanics that the ANZ market has seen over the last 20 years – Choose Your Volatility and Hold and Spin.”
Everi, meanwhile, will showcase its portfolio of integrated FinTech solutions at AGE 2025 in a dedicated space alongside IGT’s exhibit. Everi’s trusted suite includes cash access, player wallets, AML compliance, loyalty and payments.
