IGT's Whitney Houston Slots was created in collaboration with The Estate of Whitney E. Houston and Primary Wave Music, resulting in a casino game that "authentically" captures the talents and energy of the global superstar.

The game features hit songs such as "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," "So Emotional," and "How Will I Know," which are brought to life through a synchronized audio and video experience on the SkyRise cabinet.

From game symbols to bonus content, the game is infused with Whitney Houston concert footage and famous photos. One of the game highlights is its "interactive" platinum record collection-pot feature, where players collect platinum record symbols that land on the reels, which may then spill back into the game to trigger the Respin Bonus.  

Whitney Houston Slots features four jackpots, including the top-level $500,000 wide area progressive jackpot. The game also incorporates gameplay mechanics "that seasoned slots players know and love," including a dedicated lock and respin bonus, Cash on Reels, Stacked Wilds and free games.

Whitney Houston Slots is housed on IGT's newest hardware technology, the SkyRise cabinet. The SkyRise cabinet stands over 11 feet tall and features two 55-inch, 4K resolution curved-edge LCD screens to deliver "vivid graphics, state-of-the-art sound, and optimized lighting design." When four of these cabinets are placed in a side-by-side bank configuration, the top screens of all four units integrate and synchronize images to create a concert-like video wall.
