[5] In 1984, IGT acquired Electronic Data Technologies, becoming one of the first companies to use the Computerized Player Tracking concept (CPT), which later contributed to the growth of 'frequent-player rewards' programs.

The following year, IGT Europe was established to service casinos across the continent, and commissioned new offices in South Africa, and Argentina.

[12] In that time, IGT also introduced Triple Play Draw Poker through its partnership with Action Gaming,[13] and an Elvis-themed slot machine.

During that year IGT acquired Wager Works, and the company unveiled its first multi-level progressive Mega Jackpots product, known as Fort Knox.

Group play and community bonus games were introduced to the marketplace in 2006 with the debut of Wheel of Fortune Special Edition.

[19] In 2007, IGT worked to grow its Mexican gaming operation and product sales in the Japanese and Asian markets.

These included an arrangement with Austrian-based Novomatic focusing on IGT's M-P Series multi-player product[20] and with Pure Depth, Inc. for its 3D-like, Multi-Layer Display (MLD) technology.

The office was established to research and develop gaming, application and systems in addition to providing support, technical services and training.

The year ended with IGT's SBX Experience Management System being installed at ARIA Resort & Casino at City Center in Las Vegas.

[35] IGT's Wager Works and Million-2-1 groups merged into a single global division headquartered in San Francisco, California.

The new casino resort, Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, opened floor-wide in sbX; the majority floor share of games; plus, an entire suite of IGT Advantage system products.

[42] The Ader Group filed its action letter outlining its reasons for the proxy fight and urging stockholders to vote for the Gold slate on January 28, 2013.

With an increasing focus on New Media and online distribution channels IGT announced the appointment of Gideon Bierer in January 2010 to head up the division, based in San Francisco.

When the new Interactive division debuted in late 2010, IGT's separate mobile- and internet-based gaming groups, known as Million-2-1 and WagerWorks, merged and formed one team with 18 years combined experience.

[48] IGT Interactive provides regulatory-compliant casino games content and platform solutions including the wide area progressive MegaJackpots series.

In March 2011, the IGT Interactive division moved to 405 Howard Street, Suite 600, in San Francisco, California, and announced plans to add 75 positions to their staff.

The new Interactive division headquarters, located at the corner of First and Howard in the heart of SOMA, is home to 100 employees today with the ability to accommodate more than 250.
