IGT to Make Star Wars Gaming Machine
IGT, a subsidiary of International Game Technology yesterday announced a contract with Lucasfilm Ltd. that will allow IGT to create a gaming machine based on the Star Wars movie series.

"The development of the Star Wars video slot will be a significant gaming event," said Joe Kaminkow, IGT's vice president of game design. "Those who stood in line in 1977 to see the first Star Wars movie are now about 50 years old. Exactly the demographic of core slot players."

"Our first game will be themed around Star Wars: A New Hope," said Mr Kaminkow. "I'm happy to be working with Lucasfilm again. My relationship with Star Wars products began over a decade ago."

The Star Wars gaming machine will be developed as a MegaJackpots(TM) progressive system game on IGT's AVP(TM) (Advanced Video Platform). "AVP is the next generation of slot machines, with enough computing power to produce vibrant 3D-like video and theater-style audio which should be a perfect match for this material," said John Sears, vice president of MegaJackpots(TM) for IGT.

IGT's Star Wars machine will be previewed at the Global Gaming Expo, scheduled for September 16-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It has not been determined when the new machine will be available in casinos.

IGT is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of microprocessor-based gaming and lottery products and software systems in all jurisdictions where gaming and lotteries are legal.
