An Overview of IGT and their Role in the Slot Machine Industry International Gaming Technology is a monster of the gambling machine industry. Of course, IGT made its name in the video poker business. IGT has sold more video poker machines than all other competitors combined. What many people might not understand is that International Gaming Technology is one of the giants of the slot machine industry, too. IGT slot machines have long been an innovator in the industry, and are found in every casino across America. Games like "Red, White and Blue", "Double Diamond" and "The Wheel of Fortune" are IGT games you're certainly familiar with.

In general, these documents are intended to reflect current practices and customs, and we have attempted to note where the West Coast and East Coast differ in a number of their practices. However, one of our goals in drafting these documents is also to reflect "best practices" and avoid hidden legal traps, even if doing so means straying from current custom and practice. We have attempted to avoid, or at least point out, certain problematic provisions that have become "market standard" terms. We have generally tried to indicate such issues with a footnote and explanatory language.

Programmers need a Subversion repository. Getting a Subversion repository means you need a network, and a server, which has to be bought, installed, backed up, and provisioned with uninterruptible power, and that server generates a lot of heat, which means it need to be in a room with an extra air conditioner, and that air conditioner needs access to the outside of the building, which means installing an 80 pound fan unit on the wall outside the building, which makes the building owners nervous, so they need to bring their engineer around, to negotiate where the air conditioner unit will go (decision: on the outside wall, up here on the 18th floor, at the most inconvenient place possible), and the building gets their lawyers involved, because we're going to have to sign away our firstborn to be allowed to do this, and then the air conditioning installer guys show up with rigging gear that wouldn't be out of place in a Barbie play-set, which makes our construction foreman nervous, and he doesn't allow them to climb out of the 18th floor window in a Mattel harness made out of 1/2" pink plastic, I swear to God it could be Disco Barbie's belt, and somebody has to call the building agent again and see why the hell they suddenly realized, 12 weeks into a construction project, that another contract amendment is going to be needed for this goddamned air conditioner that they knew about before Christmas and they only just figured it out, and if your programmers even spend one minute thinking about this that's one minute too many. To the software developers on your team, this all needs to be abstracted away as typing svn commit on the command line.

Feld Thoughts: Angel Deal Setup: Convertible Loans Vs. Preferred Stock |

I received the following question earlier this week. It’s conveniently timed, as I recently participated in two angel investments – each with one of the structures defined below. What's the best/preferred structure of investment money pre-VC investment. We're in the beginnings of raising angel capital (~500k) and were wondering what, if any, considerations we should make regarding the investments to allow for VC later. Should we take convertible loans or issue straight preferred stock? What are the other options that are out there for investment structure? Is it too much of a hassle to handle future investments when there is an "angel group (say 5 doctors banded together)" versus a singular angel?

Redeye VC: Bridge Loans vs. Preferred Equity |

This analysis is by no means comprehensive. But in general, I believe that if an entrepreneur wants a seed-investor who can add real value, it is not productive to economically penalize that investor when they add it. Structuring a seed-round as equity allows the investor and entrepreneur to be completely aligned and share one goal - to create as much value as possible for the company.
