POP STAR SLOT UNVEILED
IGT’s new Whitney Houston Slots hits the casino floor
You may just want to dance with someone after playing IGT’s new Whitney Houston slot machine. The company unveiled the games at several casinos in late June, including the Hard Rock in Atlantic City. The legendary singer offers players an immersive experience meant to captivate Whitney Houston fans and slot enthusiasts alike.
“IGT is thrilled to bring the new star-studded Whitney Houston Slots game to casino floors across the U.S.,” IGT COO Nick Khin said. “Whitney Houston slots exemplifies IGT’s winning formula for licensed game themes: a world-class entertainment experience combined with a precise alignment of the licensed theme fan base and the slot player demographic.”
The new game was created in collaboration with the six-time Grammy winner’s estate, “resulting in a high-energy casino experience that authentically captures the talents and energy of the global superstar,” according to the company. Here’s what fans and slot players can expect:
- Concert-Like Experience – The game features chart-topping hits like: “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” “So Emotional” and “How Will I Know”—all complete with a synchronized audio and video experience on the towering SkyRise cabinet.
- Variety of Music-Inspired Elements – From game symbols to bonus content, the game is infused with iconic Whitney Houston concert footage and photos. That includes an interactive feature where players collect platinum record symbols that land on the reels, which may then trigger the Respin Bonus.
- Giant Jackpots – Pairing mega star power with big win potential, the game features four highly entertaining jackpots, including the top-level $500,000 wide-area progressive jackpot.
- A Must-See Spectacle on the Gaming Floor – The slots are housed on IGT’s newest hardware technology, the SkyRise cabinet, which stands over 11 feet tall and features two 55-inch, 4K resolution curved-edge LCD screens. The setup delivers vivid graphics, state-of-the-art sound and optimized lighting design. Four of these cabinets can be placed in a side-by-side bank configuration, with the top screens seamlessly integrating and synchronizing images to create a concert-like video wall.
