IGT Steps into West Virginia via Launch of PlayCasino Platform

To take another step toward conquering the U.S. market and fulfilling its global expansion plan, International Game Technology, a leading provider of online gaming solutions, announces it has stepped into West Virginia.

Namely, this “providing responsible gaming solutions-focused” company is ready to launch its IGT PlayCasino iGaming platform, which will be available to operators across the market, as well as to punters who will be able to take advantage of it.

Furthering Leadership

As stated in the announcement, the company will launch this product to give punters access to some of the most sought-after titles in the industry…

…Hits such as Fortune Coin, Cleopatra, Ultimate X Poker, and Siberian Storm will be included in the distribution.

Commenting on the company’s new move, Gil Rotem, IGT’s President of iGaming, said:”Expanding IGT’s PlayCasino footprint into West Virginia presents an incredible opportunity to further our leadership in a high-growth segment of our business. IGT has vast experience supplying compelling iGaming content and platform technologies to operators worldwide. IGT PlayDigital is the top provider of iGaming content in the US and we look forward to helping our customers in West Virginia maximize player engagement as the demand for digital gaming continues to grow.”

Part of an Important Program

International Game Technology recently announced that the company has decided to take the necessary steps regarding the prevention of gambling problems. To mark Gambling Awareness Month, the brand launched its Positive Play campaign.

Also, IGT made a donation to the International Center for Responsible Gaming.

IGT SVP Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability Wendy Montgomery said: “Responsible gaming has been a large part of IGT’s DNA for many years, and the importance of it is instilled in our employees across all business segments through a variety of programs. We are pleased with the strides IGT has made in promoting Positive Play within all gaming verticals and will continue our contributions and of the industry’s most prestigious responsible gaming organizations.”

In addition to West Virginia, only four states have a developed and regulated iGaming market: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Delaware. However, the good news also comes from New York, where some negotiations are underway.
