International Game Technology
International Game Technology PLC (IGT) is a multinational corporation headquartered in London, with significant operations in Las Vegas, Nevada, that designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes gaming machines, lottery systems, sports betting solutions, and digital gaming technologies for regulated commercial and public gaming operators across six continents.[1][2] The company, which traces its origins to 1975 when founder William S. "Si" Redd established A-1 Supply—a precursor focused on coin-operated machines—and formally adopted the IGT name in 1981, has grown into a global leader in the gaming industry through innovations in video gaming equipment and systems integration.[3][4] IGT's portfolio includes licensed titles like Wheel of Fortune slot machines and advanced lottery management platforms, serving over 10,500 employees and earning recognition for products such as the RISE55 cabinet system, which won "Best Slot Product" in the 2026 GGB Gaming & Technology Awards.[5][6] While the firm emphasizes compliance in regulated markets and responsible gaming, it has faced legal scrutiny, including class-action lawsuits alleging deceptive practices in certain slot machine outcomes and patent disputes with competitors.[7][8]
