IGT introduces virtual reality platform in Las Vegas

International Game Technology and Boyd Gaming announce the deployment of IGT’s “Virtual Zone” platform at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, which marks IGT’s first virtual reality (VR) installation in a casino environment, and Boyd Gaming’s first VR entertainment offering.

IGT’s Virtual Zone is a competition arena designed specifically for casino floors that enables patrons to compete against each other for Slot Dollars in spirited VR tournaments, and enjoy competitive VR games in a physical installation. The first two games to launch in the Virtual Zone are tournament-compatible archery titles SiegeVR and ArcheryVR.

Matt Ryan, Boyd Gaming Senior VP and Chief Marketing Officer, commented: “Boyd Gaming is excited to offer our customers the opportunity to compete for Slot Dollars in IGT’s Virtual Zone. Adding a Virtual Reality experience to The Orleans’ casino floor is a positive step toward enhancing our entertainment offerings with new, interactive content that can reward B Connected members and engage an expanded demographic of players.”

Nick Khin, IGT Chief Commercial Officer, Gaming, added: “IGT is pleased to bring our Virtual Zone VR solution to market with our valued customers at Boyd Gaming. The Virtual Zone melds exceptional content with industry-leading hardware and proven tournament technology, to create a unique experience that Boyd Gaming can leverage to help differentiate its casino floors and drive incremental play.”
