LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation SGMS ("Scientific Games" or the "Company") will showcase its integrated and robust product portfolio designed to empower customers with the world's best gaming and lottery experiences at the Global Gaming Expo ("G2E"), September 26-29 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas.

The Company's 21,094 square foot exhibit (booth no. 1126) will feature areas for its Gaming, Lottery and Interactive divisions, an expansive second-floor hospitality deck, and an invitation-only innovation lab, as well as numerous presentation rooms.

Scientific Games Chief Executive Officer and President Kevin Sheehan said, "Our booth is the one destination that every casino operator and lottery organization must visit while at G2E, as we showcase the industry's most expansive, innovative suite of solutions for the entire casino enterprise, empowering the world's best gaming and lottery experiences like never before."

Transformative Slot Games and Cutting-Edge Cabinets Empower the Player Experience

At G2E, Scientific Games will feature more than 200 slots and nearly 100 unique themes, showcasing a powerful lineup of new slot platforms, game content and popular consumer brands to empower engagement and excitement across the casino floor and help drive operator revenue.

Taking center stage in hardware innovation, Scientific Games will introduce the PRIZM Game Table™, an industry-first in slot cabinet design. This pioneeering social gaming table features a 65-inch 4K display that serves as both the player interface and a table with seating for four.

Created with the Millennial in mind, PRIZM Game Table can be placed on the casino floor or in a lounge setting for community-style play and unparalleled social interaction, and supports both slot and electronic table content.

Scientific Games introduces PRIZM Game Table with Lightning Launch™ Roulette, an exciting new twist to a player favorite. In this exciting new game, players launch their ball into the wheel to determine their base game winnings. Optional bonus chip wagers add a community, anticipatory element, offering players the chance to win exciting prizes and jackpots based on both the result of their ball's spin as well as those of the other three players.

Last year Scientific Games unveiled the groundbreaking TwinStar™ cabinet, powered by the state-of-the-art ArgOS operating platform and incorporating the best technology from Bally and WMS.
