International Game Technology (IGT) on Wednesday announced more details of the portfolio of performance-driving solutions for tribal casinos that it will roll out at the 2022 Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention (NIGA), to be held April 20-22 in Anaheim, California.
The three-day event will serve as the world debut for the Company’s Hexbreak3r tournament solution, and an important platform for IGT to demonstrate how its gaming, systems and sports betting solutions can help operators accelerate growth and attract new players, the company noted.
On the first day of the exhibition, IGT will have the distinct opportunity to host the annual Spirit of Sovereignty Slot Tournament within its booth. Participants will have the chance to play IGT’s all-new Hexbreak3r tournament technology on the CrystalCurve cabinet well in advance of its market release. All tournament proceeds will support tribal college scholarships and programming for Native youth.
