Cobalt 27 IGT Slots to Make Canadian Debut in Manitoba

IGT to Install 960 Cobalt 27 VLT Slot Machines in Manitoba Casinos

Among the world’s largest casino games manufacturers, International Game Technology (IGT) supplies slot machine technology to gambling properties worldwide. Here in Canada, IGT’s reputation is particularly renowned. The games manufacturer is responsible for supplying the vast majority of the nation’s casino games, both on land and online.

When it comes to conceptual designs, I’m happy to report that we’re no guinea pigs. IGT tests its new products in major gambling hubs outside Canada before bringing its most well-received designs to the Great White North. Which brings me to the topic of today’s post…

IGT’s Cobalt 27 VLT Slots Machines in Manitoba Casinos

In an announcement earlier this month, IGT confirms Manitoba will play host to the Canadian debut of its new Cobalt 27 Video Lottery Terminal (VLT) slot machines. The report indicates nearly one thousand new machines will arrive shortly; 960 of them, to be exact.

The installment of these highly-adaptive slot machine cabinets comes with the eager welcome of the Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corporation. The MBLL is responsible for the strict regulation of all gaming activities in the province. The Crown Corporation’s approval of Cobalt 27 VLTs signifies the regulator’s due diligence and worthy authorization for the machines to appear in local gaming centres.

“IGT’s Cobalt VLT has gained positive momentum across the U.S., Latin America and Europe, and we are very excited to build on that success in Manitoba. The Cobalt VLTs will feature market-attuned content, including the highly successful commercial game Temple of Fire Cash Eruption that has been specially adapted for VLT operators. These solutions allow MBLL to modernize its VLT gaming with best-in-class hardware and entertain players with engaging themes.”

-David Flinn, IGT Senior Vice President, Canada, South and Central America

Manitoba’s Newest Slot Machine Features

The cabinetry’s design features unique customization options. This allows IGT to adapt specific features that meet the distinct needs of its operators. And that’s just the inner-working of the Cobalt 27 system.

On the outside, players are privy to a pair of vertical 27” HiDef displays, with an optional 24” topper screen, dependent on the requirements of the game in question. Each cabinet is equipped with 5-button player panels, integrated cabinet lightning, and advanced ergonomic comfort. They even feature built-in USB charging ports so that players can charge up their mobile devices while enjoying the games.

The installment of 960 new VLT slot machines in Manitoba casinos ensures space enough for all of IGT’s top-ranking games. No doubt, Canada’s favorites will all be coming to the casino floor of local gaming centres. with any luck, some of those games will include the online favorites Manitobans have come to know and love through the provincially-run iGaming portal, Playnow.com.

While we don’t know every title making its way to the Keystone Province, IGT was kind enough to confirm the following list of top-performing content.

• Temple of Fire™ Cash Eruption®
• Big City 5’s™
• Five Times Pay™
• The Wild Life Extreme™
