Ader Group Announces The Launch Of WWW.RESCUEIGT.COM

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jason N. Ader of Ader Investment Management (AIM) today announced the launch of WWW.RESCUEIGT.COM in connection with the Ader Group's solicitation to elect stockholder representatives to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of International Game Technology, scheduled for March 5, 2013.

WWW.RESCUEIGT.COM will serve as a hub for IGT investors to access detailed information regarding the value destruction overseen by the current Board and management and the reasons why electing the forward-looking Ader nominees is critical to rebuilding value at the company.   Investors are urged to visit WWW.RESCUEIGT.COM frequently to get updated information about the annual meeting and how they can act to ensure that the value destructive strategies of IGT's management and board are stopped by VOTING GOLD.

Ader said, "We believe IGT is suffering from:

(i) a lack of focus on the core slot machine and systems business that we believe generated IGT's historic success;

(ii) a lack of casino gaming industry experience in executive management ranks; and

(iii) the results of poor capital allocation decisions highlighted by a series of costly non-strategic acquisitions."

Ader continued, "We are convinced our slate will make a major improvement in this company.  In establishing WWW.RESCUEIGT.COM, we hope to be able to make information on IGT readily available to investors as we seek to empower fellow stockholder owners of IGT who have lost confidence in this management team and board because of the value destruction which they have suffered."

Most importantly, the Ader Group urges IGT stockholders to promptly vote for Ader's three highly qualified, independent director nominees on the GOLD proxy card.  If you have questions about how to vote your shares, please contact Ader's proxy solicitor, Innisfree M&A Incorporated, toll-free at (877) 825-8621.

Ader Investment Management LP leads the Ader Group, and other participants in this solicitation, a group of concerned stockholders which beneficially own approximately 3.0% of IGT's outstanding common stock.  The Ader Group has been troubled by the steady diminution in the value of our investment in recent years, and believes our company can do better.  As described in the Ader Group's proxy materials, we believe IGT is in dire need of meaningful change at the Board and management level. The Ader Group seeks your support for its highly qualified, independent nominees and urges you to vote FOR the Ader slate on its GOLD proxy card TODAY by signing, dating and returning the GOLD proxy card.
