International Game Technology Plc has launched the PeakSlant32, described as the company’s first casino slot machine cabinet in the North America market to have three, 32-inch displays.

“Content on each of the PeakSlant32′s 32-inch, high-definition displays flows through all three monitors, creating an immersive player experience,” said the firm.

PeakSlant32 has been launched to consumers via a more than 20 machine installation at the Mohegan Sun casino resort in Uncasville, Connecticut, run by Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment.

For markets outside North America and Eastern Europe, IGT will offer the cabinet with a range of multi-level progressive games, the firm said.
