VGT

[spared_life]

Just got back from a trip to a casino. I saw a lot of VGT branded slots. These slots are near copies of many IGT slots. IGT needs to push back, I don't want to play clones :(

Did you mean IGT?

Regarding the slots in our collection, every game from my understanding is an officially licensed IGT property. No "Fantasy" slots similar to other compilations out on the market.

No I was referring to this knock off company

BTW your collection is going great. This post really had nothing to do with your collection but since we are on the subject how about some more reel slots.

I would prefer playing IGT slots in casinos for sure but VGT slots are knee deep in the casino I went to. Maybe you could give a headsup to the IGT sales team.

Sorry for the gravedig, but I had just seen this because I was looking up how IGT only has one of these games on Steam, and a bunch over at Big Fish.

A bit of research would indicate that VGT is not really a "knock off". Both companies have been around for decades so they should be aware of each other's existence. There would be no concern with that.

The reason for you seeing VGT machines "knee deep" in the casino you visited was likely because that casino is owned by a Native American tribe, since VGT is a major supplier for that market.

IGT is quite a bit different. Although VGT is a younger company since IGT started in 1975 for the Nevada casinos, it wasn't called IGT until 1981 when it went public. And for that matter, IGT was bought out by another company the year after VGT acquired new owners, and IGT's new owner also took the IGT name as their own.
