IGT PlayDigital Delivers Omnichannel Star Power with Whitney Houston Slots Online Launch

Company’s dazzling new global online game debuts in iGaming markets across Europe

LONDON – Feb. 26, 2025 – International Game Technology PLC (“IGT”) (NYSE: IGT) announced today that IGT PlayDigital™ is bringing “The Voice” to eight iGaming markets throughout Europe with the recent online launch of Whitney Houston Slots. The high-entertainment game includes compelling gameplay mechanics, four exciting jackpot levels, iconic Whitney Houston photos and videos, and her chart-topping songs “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “How Will I Know,” “Greatest Love of All,” and more. 

“IGT’s Whitney Houston Slots is a dynamic, strong-performing game that has proven to captivate slot players and music fans alike in many casinos,” said Gil Rotem, IGT PlayDigital President. “Launching the Whitney Houston Slots game in an online format extends the reach of this phenomenal theme and supports IGT PlayDigital’s commitment to bringing our customers high-quality, in-demand omnichannel content.”

IGT launched Whitney Houston Slots in land-based casinos in June 2024. The dazzling theme is housed on the Company’s most advanced hardware, the SkyRise™ cabinet, and quickly rose to superstar slots status, debuting in the #1 position on the Eilers-Krejcik's NEW wide-area progressive (“WAP”) games category. 

IGT PlayDigital’s Whitney Houston Slots is currently available in Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Greece, Sweden and Romania. IGT PlayDigital plans to introduce Whitney Houston Slots to iGaming markets in North America later this year.
