International Game Technology (IGT), a global leader in gaming products and content, has doubled down on its expansion efforts in Central America with a launch in Panama. Following an agreement with Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino in Panama City, IGT rolled out its gaming solutions in the country, installing a number of machines and solutions at the property.

According to the announcement, more than 80 high-quality IGT cabinets are now available at the casino. The machines feature a diverse USwitch multi-game library backed by IGT’s famed Floor Manager technology.

Thanks to Floor Manager, Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino will have near-immediate access to dozens of downloadable IGT slots from the company’s USwitch multi-game packs. Some of the titles players in Panama will get to play include hits such as Lunar Disc, Shamrock Stars and Power Coins Leprechaun, among others.

In addition, the property will get access to tools that will help it optimize its gaming floor, including solutions such as real-time game performance analytics and instant access to game upgrades.

As a global leader in gaming, IGT recognizes the importance of expanding its global footprint through partnerships with notable companies. The company currently enjoys a presence in some 100+ markets, creating value by adhering to high standards of service, integrity and responsibility.

The Deal Will Provide the Property with a Competitive Edge

Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino’s general manager, Pablo Solis, commented on the agreement with IGT, saying that his company is excited to be the first operator in Panama to leverage the suppliers’ portfolio of market-attuned games and cabinets, as well as its Floor Manager solution.

With one of the most advanced game delivery solutions in the market, we are confident that IGT’s Floor Manager will help us deliver a new level of entertainment in our casino, meet the demands of our slots players, and ultimately support our growth.

He said that the rollout of the Floor Manager solution and IGT’s USwitch library at Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino is sure to provide the property with the competitive edge it needs.

We look forward to continuing to expand our footprint throughout the region by deploying IGT’s transformative solutions that will optimize the gaming floor and drive strong results for operators.

This comes at a time when the company is embarking on a series of localized expansions in specific markets as it wants to fortify its presence in what it sees as important geolocations and achieve a better presence in those jurisdictions.

IGT Commits to Further Growth in Panama and LatAm

Apart from focusing on the market in Panama, IGT will similarly seek to explore new growth opportunities in Latin America in general. Commenting on this fresh milestone, IGT of SVP Sales Canada, Central and South America, David Flinn, said:

In creating a formal IGT presence in Panama, we’re positioned to grow our footprint in the region and enable our customers to reap the many benefits of IGT’s vast games and solutions portfolio.

Flinn spoke of the regional significance of the move as well, highlighting the new technological solutions that local partners would be able to benefit from, including the cloud-based Floor Manager system that is developed by IGT with the determination to bring better efficiencies to casino floors and allow partner businesses to respond to player needs as well as their content preferences.

The launch of a local entity does not happen in a vacuum either, as the company has already laid out a roadmap as to what new strategic steps it would take to expand in the country as well. There are many games that will be forthcoming, IGT assures, including Egyptian Link and Prosperity Link, as well as the company’s PeakDual27 and PeakSlant49 cabinets, which will effectively allow the games to be deployed on the market.

Deploying Powerful and Tailored Solutions Locally

IGT is also planning for the deployment of the USwitch Black Edition game pack through its PeakSlant32 cabinet, offering local gamers and businesses some of the truly best solutions that the company has developed over the past years. IGT’s senior director of strategic accounts for the Latin American region, Jessica Luna, was similarly pleased with the opportunities provided by the new expansion.

Luna confirmed that the company is looking to secure new partnership opportunities in Panama and is working to create a roadmap that will allow the company’s diverse portfolio of high-performing solutions that will be further tailored to meet specific regional and player needs. All in all, IGT is poised to benefit from rapid growth in the Latin American region with Panama proving a truly important stepping-stone to that end.
