Casino games and equipment supplier International Game Technology Plc (IGT) is ending its electronic table game (ETG) business in 2027, as part of its “focus on core business priorities” and “long-term growth objectives”, the company confirmed in response to GGRAsia’s Thursday enquiry.
A report of the division’s closure had been initially reported on Wednesday by industry news outlet iGB.
Phil O’Shaughnessy, IGT’s vice president for global communications, government relations and sustainability, noted in an emailed response to GGRAsia: “IGT has made the decision to end-of-life operations of its ETG business in 2027 as part of our focus on core business priorities and long-term growth objectives.”
He added: “IGT will continue to provide its ETG customers with the level of support they expect regarding those products during this transition.”
The current IGT was formed through the merger deal that combined IGT Plc’s gaming and digital content business and fintech specialist Everi Holdings Inc, in a circa US$6.3-billion transaction involving funds linked to private equity firm Apollo Global Management Inc. The deal was completed in July last year.
As part of the merger deal, the former IGT lottery business was also spun off, and rebranded as Brightstar Lottery.
Driving business efficiencies and cash-flow creation are key focuses for the new IGT, its chief executive Hector Fernandez told GGRAsia in an interview at the recent Global Gaming Expo (G2E) Asia 2026 trade show.
