G2E Booth #1150
“AGS’ story is rooted in Class II and tribal gaming communities across the country. We’ve grown a lot since those early days, but that history shaped the AGS engine and continues to power how we create games and serve our partners today.” – David Lopez, CEO & President, AGS
AGS continues to expand its growing portfolio through a combination of new hardware, original land and online content, and table products that aim to provide the right mix for the casino floor.
This year, the company will debut Glō UR43 – the first product in a new video cabinet family. Built around the interaction of light, shape, and surface, Glō will launch with three new game families developed specifically for the cabinet – including the new Rakin’ Bacon! Ultra Bankrollers and Rakin’ Bacon! Ultra Squeallionaire.
On the slot floor, AGS will also showcase 50 new titles, including new brand families and extensions across a stellar cabinet lineup featuring the new Glō UR43, the flexible Spectra family of cabinets – including the jumbo Spectra SL75+ – and the proven mechanical performance of the Revel three-wheel stepper.
AGS Interactive continues to deliver highly successful digital content and omnichannel experiences across North America and international markets. Recent milestones include the online debut of Bonus Spin Xtreme for real-money play, an EKG Award for Blackjack Single Deck, alongside omnichannel partnerships and launches.

“Indian Gaming is incredibly important to Ainsworth and to our growth across North America. Tribal operators have always been strong partners for us, and we recognize that success in this market starts with listening to our customers and understanding what will make a meaningful difference on their casino floors. We’re putting a lot of focus behind developing products and experiences that give tribal casinos new ways to attract players, create excitement and drive engagement.” – Matt Smith, VP of Marketing & Product Strategy, Ainsworth Game Technology
Ainsworth Game Technology is bringing the new Raptor A865 to G2E 2026 with a simple but powerful proposition for North American casino operators: take the games players already know and love and make them larger than life. The new portrait-format cabinet features a stunning 65-inch 4K Ultra Vivid display, Eco LEDs and Dynamic Audio Soundscape, creating an immersive presentation designed to command attention on the casino floor. The A865’s premium, eye-catching design delivers the kind of visual impact that can turn a bank of games into a destination, giving players a fresh way to experience familiar favorites while helping casinos create more energy and excitement around their gaming floors.
What makes the A865 especially compelling is that Ainsworth is making the entire Raptor A849 game library available on the new large-format cabinet. That means operators can bring proven, top-performing content to the A865 without asking players to learn an entirely new game experience. Popular titles such as Dragon Legacy can now be experienced on a much larger scale, giving players the familiarity of a favorite game combined with the spectacle and immersion of a premium, large-format display. For operators, that combination of proven content and a highly visible new cabinet creates an opportunity to refresh the floor with less guesswork and leverage the performance of games players already recognize.
For tribal casinos focused on growing their customer base and increasing engagement, the Raptor A865 is about creating moments that capture attention and encourage play. Its larger-than-life presentation can help a casino differentiate its gaming floor, draw players toward the cabinet and give existing guests another reason to explore games they already enjoy. The ability to showcase an established library of popular Raptor titles on a new, visually striking platform also gives operators flexibility to evolve their floors while building on content that has already demonstrated player appeal. At G2E 2026, Ainsworth is showcasing the A865 as more than a new cabinet – it is a way to amplify the games that are already working, create greater spectacle on the casino floor and turn proven player favorites into bigger, more engaging experiences.

IGT

G2E Booth #4455
“The IGT transformation story will come to life at G2E through experiences that connect content, loyalty and funding, creating magnetic player experiences, frictionless interactions and seamless journeys across the casino floor. We’re working closely with tribal gaming operators to deliver compelling experiences through top-performing games while unlocking new opportunities for growth through innovations such as Everi Vi.” – Hector Fernandez, CEO, IGT
Casino experiences are becoming more connected, more intuitive and more responsive to the way people want to play. At G2E 2026, IGT will bring that evolution into focus through a portfolio that links IGT and Everi game content, IGT casino systems and Everi FinTech capabilities. The showcase will illustrate how entertainment, technology and financial access can move together across the casino floor, creating experiences that feel seamless for players and work smarter for operators.
That vision begins with games designed to create immediate energy and lasting engagement. The IGT Rise32 and Rise55 cabinets will anchor a broad lineup of new content, pairing contemporary hardware with experiences that span familiar mechanics, distinctive art and fresh ways to play. On the Rise55 cabinet, Lightning Rails, Fire Blast and Split & Win Link Boost offer vibrant themes, layered content and player-selectable denominations. The Rise55 cabinet extends the momentum with premium titles including Tiger and Dragon Power Sphere and Money Gong Divine, while Piggz Link brings humor and personality to the core video portfolio.
IGT will also show how an enduring brand can keep moving forward without losing what made it resonate in the first place. As Wheel of Fortune Slots celebrates its 30th anniversary, a new generation of titles will carry the franchise across a range of cabinets and play styles. Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins on the Rise55 cabinet, Wheel of Fortune Sunny Money on the SkyRise cabinet and Wheel of Fortune Triple Wheel Burst: Glow 7s on the DiamondRS Wheel cabinet each offer a new interpretation of a brand that has entertained casino players for three decades.
The same balance of recognition and reinvention will shape the IGT stepper portfolio. Big Shot Pinball and Double Chili Mania Extremo Banditos! build on established game franchises with new visual energy and contemporary play experiences.
That philosophy is equally important in video poker, a category IGT helped define. New games Five Star Poker Plus, Hyper X Poker and Top of the Deck Poker demonstrate how thoughtful features and new play mechanics can expand choice without creating unnecessary complexity.
The broader story at G2E extends beyond any single game or cabinet. IGT Advantage X and Everi FinTech will show how loyalty, player engagement and funding can work together to make the casino experience more connected, convenient and actionable.
From the energy of new games to the ease of integrated funding and loyalty, the IGT G2E 2026 showcase is designed around the moments that shape the player journey.

“Class II isn’t simply a market we participate in; it’s a core part of our business. We’re investing in excellent games, new ideas, and long-term partnerships to help tribal gaming continue to grow and thrive.” – Sony Syamala, Chief Commercial Officer, Valicy
Valicy is excited to bring the launch of three major product innovations to G2E, delivering a fully integrated gaming experience designed to maximize player excitement. The launch brings together the Teton LE cabinet, the new VictoryLink progressive platform, and the debut Lucky Lil Bunny game series. Each was developed with a distinct purpose, but together they represent Valicy’s continued commitment to building products around the player while delivering a compelling new offering for casino operators.
At the center of the launch is VictoryLink, Valicy’s dynamic new progressive system designed to unite every future game across the company’s growing portfolio through a quick-hitting, fast-paced jackpot experience. Developed through player-driven insights and close collaboration across teams, VictoryLink creates a platform that can grow alongside Valicy’s portfolio while giving players another reason to stay engaged. The result is an experience that combines the anticipation of progressive jackpots with the energy, entertainment, and accessibility Valicy brings to its portfolio.
Leading the way on VictoryLink is Lucky Lil Bunny, an irresistibly fun four-game series filled with vibrant graphics, playful characters, and engaging mechanics. Players can pick their favorite bunny and hop across the globe, experiencing adventures inspired by Hawaii, Spain, Egypt, and Asia. Along the way, players collect carrots through an exciting hold-and-spin collection feature, creating an experience that is easy to understand, entertaining to play, and packed with personality.
Bringing the entire experience to life is Teton LE, Valicy’s sleek portrait slant cabinet. Its premium presentation, immersive display, and player-focused design showcase the attention Valicy has placed on every aspect of the gaming experience – from the technology inside the cabinet to the way the game showcases on the casino floor.
Together, Teton LE, VictoryLink, and Lucky Lil Bunny represent more than a product launch. They demonstrate what can happen when hardware, software, and platform development move together toward one shared vision. As Valicy continues expanding its portfolio, this launch establishes a strong foundation for what comes next: more games, more experiences, and more ways to deliver exciting entertainment to players and meaningful value to casino partners.
