International Game Technology Plc
A maker of slot machines, lottery systems, and digital gaming technology, IGT supplies casinos, government lotteries, and online betting operators around the world. The company traces back to 1975, when William "Si" Redd founded a Las Vegas slot-machine business that was renamed International Game Technology in 1981; in 2015 it merged with the Italian lottery firm GTECH to form today's IGT. Its Wheel of Fortune slot machine, launched in 1996, is credited as the gaming industry's first major licensed slot game and remains a casino-floor favorite.
