Biographical / Historical Note

In 1980, William S. Redd’s company, SIRCOMA, a company that developed a line of video poker, blackjack, keno, as well as slot machines, was renamed International Game Technology (IGT) after SIRCOMA was sold to casino operators in Las Vegas, Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 2001 IGT acquired Silicon Gaming and Anchor Gaming, and, in 2003, Acres Gaming was also acquired. In 2015, GTECH Corporation acquired IGT, renaming their company International Game Technology. IGT continues to operate and manage video gambling machines.
