International Game Technology (IGT) has launched its PeakBarTop cabinet with sports betting at two St Croix Casino locations, located in Turtle Lake and Danbury, Wisconsin. Players may sit at the bar while they play a choice of video poker, slots or keno, in addition to the ability to make sports wagers.
The cabinet is powered by IGT’s Total Gaming software bundle and uses the same gaming wallet for each game and betting option. The PeakBarTop cabinet features an ergonomic design and a 23-inch full HD display, as well as Bluetooth technology to provide IGT’s cashless gaming experience.
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.
"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."
The PeakBarTop cabinet with sports betting previously won Land-Based Product of the Year at the 2022 Global Gaming Awards in Las Vegas. IGT commented on the cabinet’s integration of both sports betting and Game King video poker.
Joe Asher, IGT President of Sports Betting, said, “I've been wanting sports betting on a Game King bartop machine for many years, long before I joined IGT. It's finally here; now customers can sit at the bar, watch the game on TV, play video poker and bet on sports.”
IGT recently posted its Q2 financial report, which showed a 3% increase in revenue year-on-year, to reach $1.06bn.
