Insights
The introduction of the Tiger and Dragon™ game by IGT on the PeakCurve™49 cabinet demonstrates the company's ongoing innovation in the multi-level progressive (MLP) slot machine market. This is a strategic move to capture more market share in an industry that values novelty and player engagement.
From a market research perspective, the combination of new game mechanics with proven features is likely to attract both new and existing players. The use of focus groups and extensive research to develop this game indicates a data-driven approach to product development, which can often lead to greater player satisfaction and, ultimately, higher revenues for casino operators.
However, while new games can create excitement, their success depends on consistent player engagement and the ability to maintain interest over time. The long-term success will largely depend on how well this game performs compared to competitors and how frequently players return to it.
IGT's release of the Tiger and Dragon™ game should be viewed within the broader context of their recent performance in the MLP segment. Their earlier successes with games like Prosperity Link suggest that this new release might continue to bolster their revenue streams. The PeakCurve™49 cabinet, which houses this game, is also a significant investment, reflecting confidence in the hardware's ability to attract players and generate income.
From a financial perspective, the implications are twofold. In the short term, the launch could drive up revenues through increased sales of the game to casinos. Additionally, the game’s performance on casino floors will be important for sustaining long-term financial growth. High bonus frequencies and engaging mechanics are likely to encourage repeat play, which can translate into steady income for both casinos and IGT.
Investors should monitor the initial performance metrics and any reported earnings related to this new game to gauge its impact on IGT's financial health. Analyzing quarterly earnings reports following this release will provide more concrete data on the game's success and its financial contribution.
Dazzling new theme introduces innovative mechanics and gameplay features on proven hardware
"We made a commitment to advancing IGT's game performance with strong multi-level progressive content and leveraged our extensive research and focus group capabilities to achieve this with the award-winning Prosperity Link and Mystery of the Lamp MLP games," said Dubravka Burda, IGT SVP Global Studios. "Bolstered by our strong momentum in the MLP space, we combined proven game mechanics with exciting new features and gameplay in the development of Tiger and Dragon. We're excited to unveil this extremely fun and entertaining game with our casino operator partners and their players."
The Tiger and Dragon MLP is available in two base games, Multiplier and Cash On Reels™. Both games feature three unique bonuses: Tiger, Dragon, and the combined Tiger and Dragon bonus. The game introduces an entirely new lock-and-respin and reveal bonus structure featuring money ball symbols with credit values that can combine. In another new game mechanic, when gong symbols on reels land in the same row, monetary winnings are revealed. Adding to the gameplay excitement are the game's "up arrows" that appear on reels and increase credit values exponentially.
The game's Tiger bonus presents win opportunities on a 3x5 reel matrix, and both the Dragon bonus and the combined Tiger and Dragon bonus advance the reels to an 8x5 reel matrix for big win potential. The vibrant game stands out on the gaming floor on the PeakCurve49 cabinet with unique merchandising options, vivid graphics and LED signage.
