twitterCompany planning ‘Star Wars’ slot
Thursday, July 17, 2003 | 10:54 a.m.
RENO -- International Game Technology today announced a contract with Lucasfilm Ltd. that will allow IGT to create a gaming machine based on the "Star Wars" movie series.
"The development of the Star Wars video slot will be a significant gaming event," said Joe Kaminkow, IGT's vice president of game design. "Those who stood in line in 1977 to see the first 'Star Wars' movie are now about 50 years old. Exactly the demographic of core slot players."
The first game will be themed around "Star Wars: A New Hope," the first "Star Wars" movie with the memorable line "May the force be with you."
The Star Wars gaming machine will be developed as a MegaJackpots progressive system game.
IGT's Star Wars machine will be previewed at the Global Gaming Expo Sept. 16-18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
