Italian gambling company Lottomatica acquired Gtech Corporation, a US gambling company, in August 2006, and later changed its own name to Gtech. Gtech managed many state and provincial lotteries in the US and had contracts with local and national lotteries in Europe, Australia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia.

In 2015, the company acquired American gambling company International Game Technology and again adopted the acquired company's name as its own.

Current holdings

With the 2006 acquisition of Gtech, the company expanded its global business activities establishing a permanent presence of its employees in several countries throughout the world. IGT has operations in more than 100 countries worldwide, and deals with various ethnicities and nations with different levels of local employment laws. In order to meet these various requirements, IGT complies with the principles of the International Labor Office's Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and its social policy (Geneva 2000). In particular, the Company complies with all of the recommendations in the aforementioned declaration with regard to relations with staff in the various states.[4]

In July 2014, Gtech agreed to acquire American company International Game Technology (IGT), the world's largest slot machine manufacturer, for a total of $6.4 billion, including $4.7 billion in cash and $1.7 billion in assumed debt. The companies combined under a new holding company based in the United Kingdom, and the Gtech name was dropped in favor of IGT.[5][6]

In April 2015, Gtech completed its merger with IGT. The new combined company's name is International Game Technology PLC.[7]

In April 2017, IGT announced an agreement to sell its subsidiary Double Down Interactive LLC To DoubleU Games as a means to establish a partnership in the social casino market.[8]
