Bottom line is that IGT own Wagerworks and they have far too much invested in US land-based stuff to take the risk of contravening US laws. Even though online gambling isn't illegal in every State (about 12 or so in fact) the US are clearly anti-online gambling until they can regulate (and tax!) it.
Until that time it means that US players can't even play the IGT slots in fun mode but I reckon that will change in 2011. You can however see videos of the IGt slot games that are available online at http://www.igtslots.co.uk - they will be introducing more in 2011.
If a question was asked "anonymously", or in the event that a best response has not been selected by the originator, the response with the highest rating assumes that position until such a time as a response is selected.
