IGT Demonstrates Continued Corporate Social Responsibility Leadership with 13th Annual Sustainability Report
International Game Technology PLC has announced the release of its 13th annual Sustainability Report, which demonstrates the Company’s drive to create value globally, increase its socially responsible corporate citizenship, and report on its activities transparently.
“IGT’s 2019 Sustainability Report celebrates the significant progress that we continue to make with our corporate social responsibility initiatives and ongoing support of responsible and sustainable practices that positively impact our customers and the communities we serve,” said Marco Sala, IGT CEO. “IGT’s commitment to the well-being of our employees, high standards of integrity and ethical conduct, diversity and inclusion, and professional development build on the strength of our brand and create value for our stakeholders throughout the world.”
IGT’s corporate social responsibility strategy is centered on four key pillars: Valuing our People, Advancing Responsibility, Supporting our Communities, and Fostering Sustainable Operations. The 2019 Sustainability Report shows IGT’s commitments and achievements in generating value for a range of stakeholder groups, including employees, customers, communities, and suppliers.
Highlights of the report include:
- Valuing Our People: IGT supports a fair, inclusive culture where all employees feel valued, respected, and engaged. IGT enriches employee development through career pathing and mentoring.
- In 2019, IGT’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion expanded its Diversity and Inclusion Groups (DIGs), adding SuperAbilities at IGT, which empowers and promotes the rights of people with disabilities; Military Veterans at IGT; and a group for employees age 50 and over. These were added to the already existing Pride with IGT LGBTQ+ group and the WIN with IGT Women’s Inclusion Network group.
- Advancing Responsibility: IGT is committed to player protection and product integrity. Through its comprehensive responsible gaming program, IGT contributes features and capabilities to promote safer gambling and prevent underage play. To protect data, a robust security incident management system is enacted to prevent cyberattacks 24 hours a day.
- In 2019, the Company joined the Global Lottery Monitoring System, as well as the Sports Wagering Integrity Monitoring Association, to support responsible gaming in the betting vertical by addressing concerns around match-fixing and continuous monitoring.
- Supporting Our Communities: IGT supports communities where it operates and where its employees live through corporate programs that align with its sustainable development goals (SDGs). IGT’s Community Ambassador program focuses on community engagement at the local level while aligning with global giving efforts. Employee-driven giving programs complement the corporate programs by supporting the local causes that are important to individual employees.
- IGT’s flagship community initiative, After School Advantage, has provided non-profit community agencies and public schools with 300 digital learning centers in the past 20 years to help at-risk children gain critical, competitive skills, further supporting the Company’s SDGs. IGT refreshed the program to support inclusive and equitable quality education and future employment with an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM).
- Fostering Sustainable Operations: IGT ensures its suppliers meet high economic, ethical and environmental standards as outlined in the Company’s Supplier Code of Conduct. In addition, IGT strives to continually improve its environmental management systems and processes to reduce its environmental impact.
- In 2019, IGT offices and facilities worldwide implemented environmentally friendly initiatives such as applying practical lighting schedules to save 251,000 kWh at the Las Vegas office; installing a high-powered corrugated cardboard baler to create 286 tons of recyclable material at the Reno, Nev. site; and lowered CO2 emissions by 64 tons for Lottomatica in Italy by executing remote troubleshooting for point of sale terminals.
The 2019 report is available online at www.IGT.com under Global Responsibility.

Red Papaya’s debut slot combines feature rich gameplay with an adventurous theme, cinematic visuals and big sound
Players are being told to brace themselves for an expedition into uncharted territory in Kong’s Jungle Tower, the debut slot from Red Papaya, which is powered by Microgaming.
This is a slot where fortunes are found hidden within a forgotten temple, deep within the jungle. It’s been designed to deliver an immersive audio and visual experience – this includes sound cues from Kong which help to build anticipation and then intensify as the features get closer.
Kong’s roar builds up and sounds like he’s getting closer while the reels begin to shake and ignite with fiery effects, creating the sense that a big, thunderous win is about to land.
The Cash Collect slot sees players helped on their adventure by several features, including the legendary Jungle Tower which includes 15 Cash Prizes to be won.
Then there are Monkey Coins that sweep across the reels, gathering instant treasures and unlocking the mightiest prizes from the summit of the tower.
When a Kong symbol lands without a Collect symbol, it adds a Multiplier to one of the Jungle Tower values. This is a sort of consolation prize for the player and means that Kong never leaves them empty handed – instead, he helps players power up with Multipliers so that when Kong and Collect do land, the win is Multiplied.
Up to five Kong symbols can land on reel three in a single spin, with each boosting the Multiplier value. Multipliers are then applied to the awarded values when they are collected.
So what about those monkeys?
Red Monkey Coins land one reels one, two, four and five and randomly collect a Jackpot value from the Jungle Tower when at least one Kong symbol appears on the same spin.
Blue Monkey Coins, which also appear on reels one, two, four and five, randomly collect a Cash value from the Jungle Tower when at least one Kong symbol appears in the same spin.
Even when the reels fall silent, Kong’s adventurous spirit electrifies the Tower with multipliers, charging up Cash Prizes for spectacular wins.
But that’s not all. Three Bonus Symbols trigger eight Free Spins. Once activated, the reels increase to a 5×5 setup for even more win opportunities – the base game offers 720 bi-directional ways and increases to 3,125 ways.
As the Free Spins play out, three Bonus Symbols will award eight additional Free Spins while two Bonus Symbols will grant three more Free Games.
Kong’s Jungle Tower is a high volatility game and comes with two RTP options of 96% and 94%.
Madelein Ozok, Head of Studio at Red Papaya said: “This is a slot packed with thrilling visuals, adventurous soundscapes and Kong leading the charge towards big wins.
“Kong’s Jungle Tower has been designed to deliver an expedition of epic proportions, with those Cash and Jackpot prizes always within reach of the red and blue monkeys.
“This is our debut slot and really sets the tone for what players can expect from Red Papaya.”
Red Papaya made its debut earlier this month and is set to disrupt the online slot market with games that blend creativity, features and data to deliver edge-of-the-seat experiences that captivate players around the world.

Casino games aggregator St8 has gone live with its first partner in the United Kingdom, following a successful integration with Annexio-owned lottery betting brand LottoGo.
Through the partnership, LottoGo now gains access to St8’s complete portfolio of premium casino content from hundreds of top-tier suppliers, along with a steady pipeline of upcoming releases all delivered through a single API.

The integration has been remarkably fast and stress-free, with the St8 team supporting us at every step.

Delivering top-tier service is central to who we are, and we’re excited to support LottoGo as they scale their casino offering.”
St8 continues to rapidly expand its regulated footprint. As well as the United Kingdom, the aggregator holds licences or certifications in Romania, Malta, Isle of Man, Anjouan, and, most recently, Ontario.
Operators in regulated markets worldwide are choosing St8 not only for its deep content portfolio but also for the rich functionality offered beyond the core offering. This includes its powerful Bonus API for tailored promotions and instant rewards, a sophisticated reporting system with real-time, regulation-ready dashboards, and one of the industry’s most comprehensive thumbnail libraries- all available through St8’s unified API.
