Nick Khin IGT COO of Gaming praised the cabinet for its success. “Building upon the incredible success of IGT’s ProsperityLink and Mystery of the Lamp Games, Tiger and Dragon earning the number one position in Eiler & Krejcik’s May 2024 report on game performance validates our commitment towards delivering the best MLP titles to the industry.”

The rest of the five were Gold Blitz Extreme by Games Global, Buffalo Gold Collection by Anaxi, Thundering Gorilla by Light & Wonder and Big Money Frenzy Jackpot Royaleby White Hat Studios.
