Following a series of acquisitions and buy-outs, IGT are one of the biggest brands in the casino industry. They employ over 12,000 people and posted a massive operating income of $539 million USD in 2015. Headquartered in London, they also have major offices in Rome, Providence, and Las Vegas.
As you may expect from a company of that size, they have fingers in many pies and count developing physical slot machines as one of their primary businesses alongside their online casino portfolio.
The company has gone through so many different acquisitions that it’s difficult to give a full year-by-year breakdown of their activities. However, they were founded in their current form in 1990 but have a history stretching back to the early 1970’s. This makes them one of the most established software providers around. In fact, they are credited with being amongst the first companies to add computer technology to traditional slot machines.
They are publically listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and continue to set high standards across the many different aspects of the gambling market.
