IGT has launched Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi, an online version of one of its most popular slot machines found across land-based casinos in the United States, into the igaming market.

The Far-East-themed slot, developed and released by IGT PlayDigital, the online gaming and content arm of IGT PLC, is expected to be offered through many of IGT’s igaming partners, including BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings and Bally Casino.

“The launch of IGT PlayDigital’s Prosperity Link has already been a success as initial player engagement and performance have been strong. The game is well-known among land-based casino players and is supported by multiple base game themes that we look forward to launching in the future,” IGT PlayDigital President Gil Rotem told CDC Gaming. “IGT’s omnichannel games deliver significant value to our customers and their players. The popularity of Prosperity Link gives our customers tremendous confidence when adding it to their game libraries, while players actively seek out the brand across formats.  The real magic will happen when operators combine features such as Prize Engine from our Engagement Platform with a top-producing game such as Prosperity Link.”

The land-based version of Prosperity Link Wan Shi Ru Yi was part of the Prosperity Link series of Class II slots launched in May 2022, with Wan Shi Ru Yi being one of several Prosperity Link titles that players can select and play from the same game cabinet. Slots from the series were awarded Best Slot Product at GGB Gaming & Technology in 2022.

IGT has been supplying the U.S. igaming market with hit titles for years. The company is responsible for some of the most renowned online games like Wheel of Fortune Online, MegaJackpots and Cleopatra. IGT provides content in more than 100 countries.

The company became the second software provider to feature online casino games in all seven states where igaming is legal. IGT has a longstanding relationship with the Rhode Island Lottery, with Rhode Island being the most recent state to legalize igaming. It recently extended its agreement to provide the technology to support sports betting until 2026.
