LAS VEGAS, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
A wealth of new penny slot

year.

showcase the strength of our penny products by unveiling new game titles
across all of our product lines," said Steve Morro, President of IGT's Gaming
Group. "We'll have close to 400 gaming machines in the IGT booth with a
dazzling array of configurations: our highly successful 5-reel slots and video
slots with up to 100 paylines, and penny themes on our Fort Knox(R) and Party
Time!(R) Multi Level Progressives, Wheelionaire(TM) Mega-Mystery Progressive,
MultiWay(TM), Reel Touch(R) games and video slot products. It's going to be a
spectacular way to set the stage for our company's silver anniversary
celebration."

jurisdiction), and unique player ergonomics.
IGT will also feature its new sb(TM) products for server-based gaming
applications including the sb system and sb machines which allow a casino to
