Title: NEW IGT video promtion area Post by: doublediamonddlx on April 30, 2009, 01:00:22 AM https://www.igt.com/VideoCenter/ (https://www.igt.com/VideoCenter/)
Looks like quick comericals (:30) to play in hotel/casino lobbys. Not too exciting but, it does showcase some of the new slots that are out. Enjoy, DDD Title: Re: NEW IGT video promtion area Post by: StatFreak on April 30, 2009, 06:14:19 AM Their mega jackpots category is very heavily skewed towards TV game show and movie themed games right now. I guess that the Gen X customers must be eating this stuff up.
I can see it now: It's the "I dream of Elvis playing Wheel Of Jeopardy along side of Indiana Jones, hosted by Bob Barker, and winning free stuff on eBay and a date with Vanna White on Gilligan's Island" Reel Depth Multi-Player slot. Coming to a casino near you! :25- Only 4500 credits needed for max bet play. :47- Title: Re: NEW IGT video promtion area Post by: jay on April 30, 2009, 01:47:36 PM I am of the understanding that many TV shows are pre-marketed prior to coming to TV.
IE the rights to sell the Series-1 DVD set etc might be bid between Sony and Paramount. Lunch boxes, Thermous, T-Shirt rights are all sewn up prior to the show ever going on the air. I suspect that the Slot Rights are in there as well. Of course with 200 new shows ever year this is a crap shoot as only 4 or 5 are ever hits and make it through a full season. Old shows like Gilligans Island must have some of the stars rolling in their graves as those people never received royalties like is common today. They did a episode of "where are they now" and Eddie Muster scrapes out a living by doing personal appearances at Halloween Parties and shopping malls. Bob Denver - died a poor man that could barely afford healthcare in his advanced years. |
