Founding discrepancy? (magazine article for expansion)
Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
This Wikipedia article currently says it started as a private company in the 1950s. A recent article in Wired, however, says it started later than that; it doesn't give a precise date, but has it formed by William Redd as A-1 Supply Company no earlier than the 1970s, and later renamed to International Game Technology. Koerner, Brendan I. (Aug 2011), "The One-Armed Bandit Bandit", Wired, vol. 19, no. 8, pp. 120–25, 146. postdlf (talk) 16:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
This question piqued my interest! The company's web site states that its "origins" date back to the 1950s not, as this article states, that it was founded then. The founder, Si Redd, began his career with coin operated pinball machines in the 1950s. A paragraph about him in the history section would help clarify this and make for interesting reading--he might merit his own article as a prominent figure in Las Vgas' history — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nevadaresident (talk • contribs) 17:08, 27 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

List? That would be huge. Here's some I remember losing money at:
I Dream of Jeanie, M*A*S*H...
While you find any sources on the Internet, casinos have the promotional flyers stored somewhere, and, of course, IGT's copyright filings and Nevada Gaming Commission filings. I just don't care enough to do this myself.
There maybe hundreds of different IGT video slots. The best lists might what Masque and other slot CD-ROM companies compile.
