LONDON, April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game
Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
& Casino Tampa announce the launch of IGT's Spin
Ferno® spinning reel tournament system solution.
With the Spin Ferno tournament system solution, Seminole Hard Rock
Tampa guests can be the first to enjoy high-energy, automated slot
tournaments on IGT's, award-winning S3000® spinning reel
cabinet.
The Spin Ferno tournament solution is fueled by IGT's system
solution, Tournament Manager 5.0. The turnkey system solution
empowers operators to host single or multi-site tournaments on the
S3000 cabinet. Spin Ferno is the gaming industry's first automated
tournament product for a mechanical reel cabinet and joins IGT's
family of other tournament systems solutions.
"We are thrilled to bring Spin Ferno to market with our
partners at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa,"
said Nick Khin, IGT

globally successful S3000 cabinet and exemplifies IGT's leadership
in pairing game and systems innovation to create premium player
experiences."
"It's an honor to be the first casino to have the Spin Ferno
technology launch at our property this month. We first saw the
innovative entertainment experience in play at the Global Gaming
Expo last year in Las Vegas and
felt the game would be a great fit for Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
& Casino Tampa," said Dan
Ingster, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa VP of
Slot Operations. "The technology, game play and tournament
flexibility were all key factors when deciding on launching the
system."
Seminole Hard Rock Tampa deployed the Spin Ferno tournament
solution on 26 S3000 cabinets. When these slot machines are not
utilized for slot tournament play, Property patrons can enjoy S3000
titles Hotsy Totsy® and Red Hot Lil' Devil™ games in
coin-in, two-cent denomination mode.
Seminole Hard Rock Tampa's Spin Ferno area is located near the
Property's Wonderwall, in front of Council Oak Steaks &
Seafood.
