Read moreThe income from continuing operations of global gaming machines, lottery, sports betting, and iGaming giant International Game Technology (IGT) grew 191% year-on-year to reach US $294 million at the end of 3Q22, the company announced earlier today.
Highest rise of gaming and betting segments:
According to IGT, the corporation saw the highest rise of its Global Gaming and Digital & Betting segments, but also capitalized higher foreign exchange rates and reduced income taxes and debt costs over the observed period.
The company’s consolidated revenue amounted for US $1.06 billion at the end of 3Q22 representing an 8% increase compared to the same period in 2021. Even though the company’s largest Global Lottery segment faced a 4% decrease in revenue to $626…
Read moreIn Australia and the Chief Investigator for the Liquor and Gaming New South Wales regulator has reportedly asserted that his state’s 95,000 video slots are being used to illegally launder ‘hundreds of millions’ of dollars every year.
According to a Sunday report from The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, the surprising revelation from David Byrne comes after footage from a central Sydney video slots venue emerged showing a money laundering syndicate operating with apparent impunity. This fresh recording purportedly revealed a group effectively commandeering a collection of machines in order to illicitly process tens of thousands of dollars via two methods.
Creative criminals:
The newspaper reported that some in this group were seen chasing an a…
Read moreBack in my day, we didn’t have these fancy-schmancy newfangled quest markers and compass points—we had to download add-ons if we wanted the minimap to tell us where our ten boars were, and then walk up the hill, both ways!
If you’ve been playing RPGs since the early 2000s, you’ve likely got a similar old man yelling at clouds in your soul. Simply put, open-world RPG design has slowly moved away from the discovery part of “questing”.
It used to be that quest givers in RPGs (both single-player and massively multiplayer) would rely far more on verbal instructions than UI elements. Morrowind in particular doesn’t even have a compass—locking every quest behind some local’s vague approximation of the land. That kind of design’s gone the way of the dodo, unfort…
Read moreHere’s the thing about Persona 3 Reload: it’s not all of Persona 3. In particular, the remake is missing the epilogue campaign—called The Answer—that came with Persona 3 FES back on the PS2, and it’s missing the female protagonist you could play as in the PSP (and now PC) version of the game, Persona 3 Portable.
All of that sounds like a great excuse for Atlus to put out a Persona 5 Royal/Persona 4 Golden-style reissue of the game somewhere down the line, selling you the game again in the form of a version that comes with those currently missing pieces plugged in.
But apparently the studio is breaking the habit of a lifetime, because Persona Team production manager Kazuhisa Wada recently told Gamerwk (translated by Persona Central) that Atlus is cu…
