International Game Technology (IGT) announced plans to discontinue its electronic table games (ETG) division in 2027 as part of its ongoing restructuring efforts following significant changes over the past two years. An IGT spokesperson stated that this decision aligns with the company’s commitment to its core business objectives and future growth. The transition will include support for all current ETG customers.
This announcement follows the recent merger between IGT and Everi Holdings, a $6.3 billion transaction facilitated by Apollo Global Management, which occurred in 2024. Earlier this year, IGT also reduced its workforce by approximately 10 percent.
Although IGT has expanded its ETG offerings to include games like electronic blackjack, baccarat, and roulette, this sector has not become a major revenue generator when compared to traditional slot machines in the United States. Slots tend to produce more revenue per square foot in casinos. Interest in ETGs has been more robust in European and Asian markets than in the U.S.
