International Game Technology (IGT) announced Wednesday it has now launched its DiamondRS mechanical reel cabinet. According to the business, the cabinet marks "a pivotal point" for IGT in themechanical reel segment and leverages extensive market research merged with technology to provide what the company calls "a next-generation gaming experience on a traditional cabinet style."

Guests of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Highland, California, were among the first players in the world to enjoy the new versions of popular IGT slot games on the DiamondRS cabinet. 

Combining what IGT describes as player-preferred design with first-rate innovation, the DiamondRS cabinet retains some of the design elements and mechanical reel components that helped drive the success of IGT’s S2000 slot machine, -called by the company "a pillar on casino floors for decades"-, and the subsequent S3000 cabinet. 

The new cabinet features a three-reel configuration enhanced with IGT Diamond Glass transmissive reel technology, which integrates a transparent video overlay over the mechanical reels, enabling the cabinet to host multiple payline configurations and more engaging game content. 

The DiamondRS cabinet includesa 32-inch ultra-high-definition LCD top box display with a 23-inch high-definition main monitor with multi-touch screen capabilities. The dynamic player panel incorporates an easy-to-read panel and ergonomic button deck design, with an inductive wireless phone charger and USB charging port. In addition, the intelligent cabinet lighting adds a focal point with energetic win celebrations.

“The launch of the DiamondRS cabinet continues IGT's decades-long reign in the mechanical reel segment with classic DNA enhanced by the industry-first innovation of Diamond Glass technology," saidNick Khin, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Gaming. "This groundbreaking evolution reflects IGT's ingenuity and commitment to delivering premier gaming products that meet player preferences and provide dynamic performance."

The cabinet is supported by an extensive content library featuring new renditions of IGT's proven legacy themes. Highlights include Double Top Dollar, "a modern reprise of one of the most popular slot games of all time." In addition, player-favorite themes have been combined to introduce new titles such as Pinball Double Gold, Red Hot Tamales! Pinata Bash, and more.

“Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel is honored to be one of the first casinos worldwide to offer IGT's DiamondRS cabinet," added Kenji Hall, Yaamava’ Resort & Casino Chief Operating Officer. "Our focus on providing the latest and most innovative product has been a pillar of our success. IGT continues to be a leader in this field, and this partnership allows us to provide a best-in-class experience."
