Although US slot manufacturer IGT saw revenues increase in the third quarter, the company noted a six per cent drop in income.

The company revealed that income from continuing operations for the three months to June 30 was $92m, down from $96m recorded in the same quarter last year.

Total revenues, meanwhile, increased three per cent to $489m, of which 55 per cent was generated by gaming operations and 45 per cent from product sales.

Patti Hart, the company’s chief executive officer, said the third-quarter results showed the “positive momentum” created by new games, platforms and improvements to business processes.

“We are expanding our business in new and existing markets around the world in a capital-efficient manner driven by our customer-first philosophy,” she said. “The investments we are making today are expected to position the company to deliver continued revenue and earnings growth.”
