IGT's Whitney Houston Slots make debut in casinos nationwide
Whitney Houston Slots offers four jackpots, including a top-level $500,000 wide area progressive jackpot.

International Game Technology (IGT) has unveiled its Whitney Houston Slots game, now available at casinos across the United States.

This slot game, housed in the SkyRise cabinet, merges the music and imagery of Whitney Houston with gaming technology to offer a new slot experience.

Regarding the launch, Nick Khin, COO of IGT’s Gaming division, stated: "IGT is thrilled to bring the new star-studded Whitney Houston Slots game to casino floors across the US.

"Whitney Houston Slots exemplifies IGT's winning formula for licensed game themes: a world-class entertainment experience combined with a precise alignment of the licensed theme fan base and the slot player demographic."

Developed in collaboration with The Estate of Whitney E. Houston and Primary Wave Music, the game aims to authentically reflect the spirit of Whitney Houston, delivering a concert-like atmosphere that features iconic songs such as ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody,’ ‘So Emotional’ and ‘How Will I Know.’

These songs are accompanied by Whitney Houston concert footage and photographs.

Whitney Houston Slots offers four jackpots, including a top-level $500,000 wide area progressive jackpot. The game also includes popular mechanics like a dedicated lock and respin bonus, Cash on Reels, Stacked Wilds and free games.

Another notable feature is the interactive platinum record collection pot, where players collect platinum record symbols on the reels, potentially triggering the Respin Bonus.

In related news, IGT recently extended its contract with Mississippi Lottery. This three-year extension included the introduction of a mobile convenience app and the Sales Wizard retail automation tool.
