        players in a virtual environment. The chair will twist, turn, rumble,
        vibrate, and emit sound, giving players the sensation of participating
        in a real-life auto race. The game builds on the success of IGT's
        original Race Ace game from its Video Reel Edge(TM) (VRE) game family.
    --  IGT will also demonstrate its Skillcade, omni-channel Lucky's Quest(TM)
        game. The Lucky's Quest game is a for-wager, casual-style game that

        Lucky. A player's progress within the game can be transferred from a
        mobile device to a gaming machine and back, allowing for a seamless
        player experience across devices and channels. The Lucky's Quest game is

        anticipated games from the Company's VRE family including the
        Cleopatra(®) Pinball(®) and Texas Tea(®) Pinball(® )games, which

        bonus event with progressive jackpots.

        accounts--eliminating the need for physical loyalty club cards and TITO
        tickets. The Company will also showcase its expansive portfolio of
        casino management systems and its growing portfolio of mobile systems
        technology with products such as Mobile Host, Mobile Responder and
        Mobile Dashboard.
