Just imagine...when you cash out of your slot or vp machine you may be able to get a lottery ticket of some kind.

I saw this on another site I'm on (a slot machine repair site) -- big news.  I'm really surprised that they're not going to continue using the IGT name.

Same here - IGT has some brand power and clout in the casino industry. Even if they did a phased name change (a la "IGT by GTech" for a while and then just GTech) that would seem to make more sense.

I really don't suspect the average casino player will notice or care though.
