High 5 Games Announces Extended Partnership with IGT

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- High 5 Games and International Game Technology have created and distributed many of the most successful casino games of the past decade. Today, High 5 Games is pleased to announce a new agreement that will guarantee an abundance of exclusive new H5G titles under the IGT brand over the next several years.

"We are delighted to extend our relationship with IGT," said Anthony Singer, CEO of High 5 Games. "With IGT's reputation as a leader in the worldwide gaming industry, we are confident that together we will build upon our past success to create even greater games for future players."

The new agreement calls for High 5 Games to produce an extensive quantity of exclusive brands for the Las Vegas-based manufacturer. The games will be created for IGT's land-based, online, and mobile markets. Based on the success of the H5G and IGT partnership, the companies plan to release 16 games over the next few months with a number of new titles in the coming years.

"For many years, High 5 Games has worked closely with our internal development teams to produce incredible gaming experience and drive fantastic results for both IGT and our customers," said Chris Satchell, IGT CTO and Executive Vice President of Research and Development.  "We fully expect the relationship to continue to thrive and deliver exceptional games and results for years to come."

High 5 Games is no stranger to working with IGT. Since 2004, H5G has created more than 100 brands for the global gaming company and now with this new agreement has the potential to add many more player-favorite games.

The standard for success has been set pretty high. Under the IGT brand, High 5 Games has created many of the most successful casino games of the past decade – including Golden Goddess, Cats, Da Vinci Diamonds, Shadow of the Panther, and Sirens.

Golden Goddess and Black Widow were named IGT's top-performing games in 2011. Da Vinci Diamonds, Noah's Ark, and Pixies of the Forest have all been identified by IGT Interactive as incredibly popular slots for online play. In 2012, H5G's Shadow of the Panther, Jaguar Princess, and The Mighty Atlas all surged to lead the company's newest collection of products on casino floors.

"High 5 Games is committed to building games that will fuel the success of our partners," said Med Nadooshan, COO of High 5 Games. "With this new agreement, we are confident that we will do just that. We believe that our games in development represent the best High 5 Games has to offer, and we eagerly look forward to sharing these new games with our players."
