International Game Technology Going Strong 

International Game Technology has made some changes to their bottom line. The slot machine manufacturer has worked hard to get their company in the top tier of slot machine creation, manufacturing and distribution. IGT is easily known the world over for their slot machines, and currently hold at least half of the world’s market share for the games. 

But they are not immune when it comes to the economy – everyone has been hit hard by it, and many companies have already had to go belly up. Let’s face it, if people are having a hard time making their bills, do you really think that they are going to go hit the slot machines? Probably not, but there are people who will turn to tem in order to get away from it all for awhile.  

But IGT is aware of this and have made some changes to the way that they do business, and are simply biding their time and waiting for things to change for them and for the economy as a whole. They are reporting that they shipped out 11,200 slot machines during the last quarter of the year, which is down from where they have been in the past but is probably way over what other companies are handing out. 

They made $515.7 million in slot machine revenue during the final quarter and posted profits of $73.3 million. This is fascinating and a testament to how the company is operating these days. The slot machine manufacturer posted revenues of $601.6 million and profits of $61.2 million the year before. This shows how they have managed to cut costs and make it a more efficient company.
