Players Network of Las Vegas announced today it will produce slot machine educational videos for International Game Technology of Reno.

The videos will be used by IGT to market and promote its new themed slots, while Players Network will use the videos in its hotel room television network, as well as its Internet sites. The first slots that will be featured in videos are Indigo Swing, Wheel of Fortune Video Slots, Elvis Hits and the Party Time Series.

"As gaming machines become increasingly complex and interactive and thereby more entertaining to play, these videos provide an ideal medium to help educate both our players and our customers as well," said Ed Rogich, IGT's vice president of marketing.

Players Network offers a digital, 24-hour gaming and entertainment network to hotel-casinos. The channel is provided in guest hotel rooms and is designed to educate new players and promote casino games and activities.
