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.

range of video slots in a full range of
denominations, but they can also switch
from video poker to keno to video slots,
and even to 3-reel, 4-reel or 5-reel slots in you’ll be blown away by the new
seconds. Everything about the slot machine changes, including the top box. It’s like you got up and sat down at a di erent machine, only you never had to leave your seat. And the only way to appreciate the “wow” factor of switching from a video slot to a “reel” slot and back again is to experience it for yourself. It’s just not possible to describe it, and the 2-d illustrations simply can’t compare to the real thing.
