The Prosperity Link’s online slots is now available in various states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut, and West Virginia. IGT PlayDigital’s president, Gil Rotem, believes players in the U.S. will receive the game well. This launch is part of the gaming provider’s global content strategy. Rotem says providing multi-channel content like Prosperity Link is an important differentiator for the company. It is committed to offering responsible gaming experiences for players across all channels and regulated segments.

Prosperity Link Series

The first game to be released in U.S. online casinos is the far-eastern themed online slot, Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi. It has five reels and 243 opportunities to win. Elements like Prosperity Pots and Money Balls that made the slot so popular in retail casinos are also in the online version. The game offers compelling gameplay and bonus mechanics.

IGT PlayDigital plans to release the second game in the series in 2024, too. At present, it has six different base game themes in the series and looks forward to launching more in the future.

Impact in the U.S. market

The first quarter results of 2024 show the strong performance of IGT’s games in the U.S. market. In April, its online slots were released in Rhode Island at Bally’s Casino, and players can access a selection of games.

Mobile slot gaming is taking off in the U.S., and IGT’s games have a positive influence on the country’s online gambling revenue. The continued expansion of the game provider looks promising. Higher software and intellectual property expenses did hurt revenue in the first quarter. An increase in iGaming revenue and higher service revenue helped to offset this.

Winning games

In 2022, the company won the 2022 GGB Gaming & Technology Awards with the best slot product through its global installations. This helped it to accumulate a large player base. IGTsMystery of the Lamp game was crowned the top-performing new premium game at the 2024 EKG Slot Awards Show. Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin is another game that’s contributing to the game provider’s growth. Wheel of Fortune slots have awarded billions in jackpots since their launch in 1996. Playing slot games to make money from home may result in losing money but there is always the possibility it could result in a win.

IGT and Everi

IGT will merge its Global Gaming and PlayDigital with Everi, a casino technology supplier. The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is likely to close early in 2025. The value of the combined businesses is over $6 billion. IGT shareholders are likely to own about 54% of the combined company.
