About IGT
IGT is a global gaming technology provider supplying gaming machines, game content, systems, iGaming, sports betting and financial technology solutions to casino, digital and hospitality operators. The original IGT brand traces to a Las Vegas slot machine manufacturer founded in 1975. That company was acquired by GTECH in 2015, which then adopted the IGT name.
The current IGT entity was formed in 2025. Apollo-managed funds completed acquisitions of International Game Technology PLC’s Gaming & Digital business and Everi Holdings Inc. The combined enterprise operates under the IGT name and is headquartered in Las Vegas.
IGT distributes online casino content through PlayDigital. The PlayDigital site identifies Casino, Games, Aggregation, Engagement Platform and Integration Documents as part of its product and operator-facing structure. IGT holds a licensing extension with Sony Pictures Television that grants exclusive rights to develop Wheel of Fortune games through 2034.

Operator Considerations
IGT and affiliate companies hold licences across regulated jurisdictions including Great Britain and Malta. IGT is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission, with additional Malta Gaming Authority licences held through IGT Malta Casino Ltd and ISB Magma Ltd. These licences support IGT’s B2B digital casino content supply in regulated markets.
Operators considering IGT should confirm which legal entity holds a given agreement. The 2025 split from the former lottery business, now Brightstar Lottery (NYSE: BRSL), means legacy contracts that once sat under one parent company now sit separately. Procurement teams should treat this as a standard part of due diligence before contracting with IGT.
