“ PLAYERS APPRECIATE A CUSTOMISED EXPERIENCE ”

TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS , IGT
AI Additional innovations include machine learning and robotics , both of which add to IGT ’ s pace of development . As Kamm puts it , the company couldn ’ t be more pleased with the result . ‘ Once we run our code through the automation tools , we know that 85 % of it has already been tested ’, he says . ‘ Each time thereafter , test teams write additional scripts for the balance , thereby increasing the breadth of testing over a shorter amount of time ’.
As change accelerates , that manual 15 % drops lower and lower . For some companies , this rapid change can unsettle team members . ‘ Organisational change is always met with some level of resistance because an employee ’ s world changes ’, Kamm reflects . ‘ They think : “ How is it going to impact me ? Is it going to make my work easier or harder ?”’.
But for Kamm , IGT ’ s recent innovations , including the functionality that enables funding bets with cryptocurrency , couldn ’ t be more exciting . ‘ We ’ re changing not only to improve our operational efficiency , but also to architect the future of gaming ’, he says . ‘ The quality of our product suites across all channels is through the roof . Our time to market is faster than it ’ s ever been . It ’ s all very forward-looking ’.
