International Game Technology (IGT) has introduced an addition to casinos worldwide – the PeakBarTop cabinet with sports betting.
This new feature is now available at St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake, Wisconsin and St. Croix Casino in Danbury, Wisconsin.
Visitors of these casinos can now access this experience, thanks to IGT's advanced Total Gaming software bundle. They can sit at the bar and choose from a range of IGT video poker, slots, keno games and sports betting options – all on the same machine and using the same gaming wallet.
The PeakBarTop cabinet offers a design with a curved 23-inch full-HD display. It also includes enhanced lighting and sound, a USB charging port and Bluetooth technology that works with IGT's cashless gaming technologies.
Loren Benjamin, St. Croix Casino General Manager, said: "We are thrilled that St. Croix Casinos are the first gaming venues in the world to offer IGT's PeakBarTop with sports betting via the Total Gaming software bundle and to delight our players with such a transformative product.
"IGT video poker has been a mainstay of St. Croix Casinos for decades and our recently opened IGT PlaySports-powered sportsbooks have already started driving new player acquisition and engagement.”
Joe Asher, IGT President of Sports Betting, said: "I'm excited that IGT's PeakBarTop with sports betting has launched at St. Croix Casinos. I've been wanting sports betting on a Game King bartop machine for many years, long before I joined IGT.”
IGT recently released its Q2 report, which revealed that the business's overall sales climbed by 3% on a yearly basis.
In comparison to the $1.02bn reported in Q2 2022, the Q2 total revenue amount is $1.06bn.
The PeakBarTop with Sports Betting won Land-Based Product of the Year at the Global Gaming Awards 2022.
