Global casino game entertainment leader IGT (NYSE: IGT) once again raised the bar for system innovation by agreeing to install its Advantage 9.1 system suite and sbX Media Manager at Northern Quest Resort & Casino. Comprehensive system solutions include IGT's point play and Xtra Credit bonus applications, sbX Media Manager, and IGT's service windows. IGT is the only system provider approved by the Washington State Gambling Commission for bonuses and server-based applications, changing its position as Washington's leading system provider.

"Our partnership with Northern Quest Resorts & Casino represents a major step forward in IGT's strategy to deliver best-in-class systems solutions to the Washington market. Faithful to our pioneering and collaborative spirit, we are working together to transform game entertainment for operators and players in Washington," said Mark Widemer, IGT Global Systems Sales Director. "This contract serves as a model for how state-of-the-art casino operations can provide a personalized experience that increases player interest and engagement while maximizing efficiency."

Northern Quest Resort and Casino, which will install the IGT Advantage 9.1 system in August 2014, will use the application to distribute IGT's point play "Downloadable Credit" and Xtra Credit "Free Play" all over the floor. Northern Quest will also offer real-time incentives to leverage IGT's Service Window and the sbX Media Manager application to provide players with a more memorable gaming experience.

Eric Pearson, Vice President of Northern Quest Resort & Casino Operations, said, "IGT was the only system provider that could help us realize our vision of creating a truly unique player experience that further differentiates our wealth." "By choosing a range of attractive IGT system applications, you can increase revenue while creating meaningful and lasting relationships with players. We are excited to work with IGT to set a new and higher standard for casino operations in Washington."
