US – IGT’s Avatar takes Center Stage at G2E Las Vegas

By - 25 September 2013

James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar took centre stage as Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2013 flung open its doors at the Sands Expo on Tuesday in Las Vegas with more than 455 companies showcasing their newest games, products and services.

The film’s producer Jon Landau and actor Stephen Lang were at the booth of International Game Technology (IGT) for the launch of the two new games. Based on the highest grossing film of all time, IGT was offering a stunning spectacle on its Center Stage platform allowing players to advance levels and share in the excitement of additional bonus content with other players. IGT also lifted the curtain on James Cameron’s Avatar Treasures of Pandora, housed in the all-new Crystal Core Cabinet, which includes multiple pay lines towering on a gorgeous 42″ vertical glass screen providing players with 7,776 ways to win.

Darrell Rodriguez, IGT Chief Creative Officer, said: “It was an absolute honor to collaborate with the extremely talented people at Fox Consumer Products and Lightstorm Entertainment to design and develop these games. We created two games that capture the innovative spirit of IGT, while also reflecting the attention to detail and breathtaking beauty that James Cameron fans would expect. As a director, he has changed the way people think about movies. We create our games to change the way people think about slot machines.”

Housed on IGT’s Center Stage platform and boasting jaw-dropping visuals and impressive surround-sound audio, James Cameron’s Avatar Video Slots promise to turn heads on casino floors. In this captivating gaming experience, players are put right in the middle of the struggles between humans and the Na’vi. With unlocked content, customizable options and never before seen bonuses, players will feel as though they have taken flight among the Na’vi warriors.

Players will soar with the banshees high above the glowing, luminescent rainforest of Pandora all while seeking “Banshee Wilds,” and pursuing an “Arrow Boost,” payout multiplier.  This is the first IGT game that enables players to track their progress and achieve additional game content as they advance to new player levels.  Bonuses include thematic content based on the blockbuster film including The Hunt to search the forests for more credits, Take Flight with a banshee to tame, and the Warrior Free Games where players choose which warrior they want to root for  as they strive to collect enough symbols to garner a prize.

Treasures of Pandora meanwhile is a true visual spectacular. Featuring immaculate, 3D visuals on a 42” vertical screen, Treasures of Pandora shines among competitors. A follow-up release to Avatar Video Slots, this wide-area progressive video slot features two vertically stacked base games. Upon max best wager, the “merging feature” may be activated, combining the two base games and creating an industry-first 7,776 ways to win.  Treasures of Pandora truly allows players to explore the phenomenal beauty of Pandora. Fans of the film will recognize the imaginative flora and fauna from the movie while playing for big wins and lively bonuses.  IGT is also excited to present a dynamic player button panel, a new game function that offers a more hands-on player experience.   The large, full color touch screen of the Crystal Core allows for a superbly interactive experience during bonuses.
