Play Dozens of Different Slots on One Machine
One of the most exciting aspects of the new REELdepthTM technology is the “reel ex” feature that allows players to view and play dozens of their favorite games all on the same slot machine. Video poker players are already familiar with this concept, and are used to being able to change from 5¢ Deuces Wild to 25¢ Double Double Bonus poker without getting up from their chairs.
Video slot players are used to being able to change the denomination of their game, moving from pennies to dollars without
moving to a new machine in a di erent part of the casino. But this feature takes this capability to the next level.
REELdepthTM is also revolution- izing IGT’s most popular Mega- Jackpots® games, combining 3-d magic with the chance to win a life- changing jackpot.
