International Game Technology is one of the most successful poker machine developers in the industry. Thanks to its innovative vision and unique gaming technology, the company continues to create games that captivate and engage players. This week, the company continued adding to its impressive selection of games with the new TMZ pokie.

According to a press release, IGT has "partnered with Warner Brothers and the No. 1 brand in entertainment news to bring TMZ Video Slots to life. This interactive theme is housed on the Crystal Core cabinet and introduces never before seen technology”. If you are unfamiliar with TMZ, it is a celebrity news site that was launched in 2005.

The site was the first to break several notable stories, including Mel Gibson’s drunk driving arrest, Britney Spears’ divorce from Kevin Federline and Chris Brown’s assault of Rihanna. TMZ has become a major name in the entertainment industry, despite being controversial due to its use of paparazzi and its journalism tactics. TMZ’s producer Harvey Levin played an important role in the development of IGT’s new TMZ poker machine.

The game features voiceovers from Levin, and he also provided photography and creative input. He attend the debut of the game at the Global Gaming Exhibition in Las Vegas last week. One of the most innovative features of this pokie is the use of ‘photobooth technology’. Players will have their image captured via camera and used in the gameplay and throughout bonus rounds.

This is a type of technology that has never before been used in a poker machine, and we are eager to see how it will affect the overall player experience. This new poker machine will make its debut in Las Vegas, and we hope to see it in Australian clubs and casinos soon.
