New slots manufacturers showed at G2E 2026
Global Gaming Expo 2026 ran September 28 through October 1 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. What follows is what the manufacturers said they were showing operators. It is not a list of what is installed in any one casino. Rollouts take time, and some titles never reach every market.
IGT
IGT used the week to put Queen Video Slots on its new Summit75 cabinet, announced September 29, 2026. The company described a concert-style game built with Queen’s licensor, Ceremony of Roses, with four bonuses, six jackpots, and ten Queen songs including “We Are the Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Don’t Stop Me Now,” plus photos and video of the four original band members.
On cabinets already known on many floors, IGT also previewed new content. For RISE32, the highlights named were Lightning Rails and Split ‘N’ Win Link Boost, both with player-selectable denominations. For RISE55, IGT pointed to Money Gong Divine and Tiger and Dragon Power Sphere, plus Piggz Link themes Frankenswine and Prince of Porkness, and Triple Coin Link themes Grand Buddha and Grand Cat.
The studio also marked three decades of Wheel of Fortune slots with new versions: Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins on RISE55, Wheel of Fortune Sunny Money on SkyRise, and Wheel of Fortune Triple Wheel Burst: Glow 7s on the DiamondRS Wheel cabinet. Separately, it previewed Wheel of Fortune Frenzy as its first live-dealer online game. That last one is an online product, not a floor machine.
Aristocrat
Aristocrat’s September 17, 2026 preview centered on hardware as much as titles. The Reign cabinet, which the company said launched in August 2026, was shown as Reign Double and Reign Single. Reign Double’s debut games were Buffalo Grand Express and House of the Dragon Two Crowns. Reign Single’s slate included a next step for Spooky Link, plus Buffalo Big Blocks and Fee-Fi-Fo Fortunes, with more titles planned.
The new Baron Slant cabinet was described as a comfort-and-access form with 4K screens, launching with titles including Buffalo Dynamite, Jackpot Tales, and Bao Bao Riches. Baron Portrait was slated for a dozen new games, among them Fabulous Hold & Spin Jackpots, Golden Dynasty Link, and Panther Link. Premium names on the booth list also included Timberwolf Mega Stampede, Buffalo Mega Stampede Grand, Buffalo Super Eclipse, and Tarzan Unleashed.
Aristocrat also extended Monopoly, including Monopoly Double Wild Jackpots on the Marquis stepper, after citing Monopoly Big Board Bucks as a top indexing premium game in the Eilers U.S. and Canada report.
Light & Wonder
On September 21, 2026, Light & Wonder led with KONG: Skull Island Unchained, a sequel to its Kong game, plus Gremlins, Willy Wonka Wondrous Bonbon Voyage, and more Wizard of Oz. New licensed names on the list: Back to the Future, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Wolf Man, alongside ongoing Ultimate Fire Link and Huff N’ Puff.
Hardware in that release included Cosmic Halo, Firebird, and Lightwave Solar. Lightwave Solar was framed as a single-cabinet take on the Lightwave bank experience, with Huff N’ Puff Open House among the content. Firebird was described with a 55-inch main display, a 32-inch upper display, and lit “fire” wings. The company said the floor showcase was booth 1116.
Konami
Konami told trade press it would show more than 50 new themes at the same expo, across five hardware shapes. The pieces called out by name were an 11-foot cabinet with a triple bonus, built to extend Dragon’s Law Fortune, and Bull Blitz Rampage on a stacked-screen machine, a follow-up to a game that had already performed in Australia.
How to use this list
Treat it like a trailer reel. If one of these names shows up where you play, you will recognize it. Until then, your floor is still your floor. A trade-show debut is an announcement to the industry, not a promise that the game is waiting on a particular aisle this weekend.
