IGT 2010 Administrative Training Summit
Danielle DuBois
The event began with three administrative assistants, who work together daily from three different locations, setting up an online meet-
ing that would work into their calendars to share some new software tools and discoveries. The conversation came back to, as it often
does, that administrative assistants needed not only training on the plethora of tools they were using, but a support network of peers to
share information with, connections with people they could call for help, some kind of unification to bring our already extensive skills to
a place of utilization company-wide.

The idea was born. We have the talent and experience within our peer group we just need a way to share it. So the idea was thrown
out to a few possible participants.
MEDIA COVERAGE

The idea grew. The interest was substantial and a plan had to be made – FAST! The first draft of content was published on February
11, 2010 and informally distributed to a handful of eager contributors. Once the plan had been given the thumbs up from the Executive
Office, we were on our way.

The countdown begins. The executive office recommended the event take place March 25th-26th. Just over a month away. Over the
next two weeks we needed to confirm a conference agenda, enlist subject matter experts to present the material, select and secure a
venue for overnight accommodations, line up transportation, outline expenses and billing, design a web based option for those that
could not attend, and create conference theme and marketing plan to promote participation.

The announcement and invitation went out March 3rd. On March 8th the confirmed attendee count was 64. 64! We had to get a bigger
room! The response was tremendous and that drove even more development: 1) an online submit your questions link to determine
subject matter most important to the user and allow presenters to prepare their material accordingly. 2) The addition of two Key Note
Speakers that would not only advocate IGT, but inspire our support professionals and promote pride in our company’s innovations. 3)
Pre-conference training for online attendance. The list grew, and so did the list of volunteers.

The first IGT Administrative Training Summit consisted of 14 presenters, 3 keynote speakers, 39 onsite and 19 online attendees,
15 technically intense classes, 1 facility tour, 2 working lunches with keynote address and 1 networking, teambuilding event. It was a
power packed agenda from which everyone took something away. Equally significant, it was an opportunity to unite an assortment of
talented colleagues that rely on the sharing of information to better perform for our organizations and company.

The Mission:

Please join our team development offsite on Thursday, May 13th 8:30 am – 5 pm– in the Las Vegas Bldg. B HR Training rooms 2524
&2525.

In the workshop we’ll learn about a tool used extensively throughout much of IGT- Emergenetics has been an effective tool to build
cohesive and collaborative teams, both on projects and within departments. Teams that have participated in this workshop have been
able to realize and respect the differences of each of its members with greater awareness of their thinking and behavioral preferences.
As such, tension, stress and frustration levels have been reduced. Emergenetics has helped to increase trust between team members
and breakdown functional silos. Overall, the teams that have been through Emergenetics state it was a great experience, and a great tool
in the spirit of understanding others, team building and communication to better meet business deliverables.

Refreshments and lunch will be served.
EMERGENETICS

Very soon you will receive an email from Jonathan Lee with instructions on how to access the Emergenetics website to complete your
questionnaire, please complete this promptly as we cannot prepare for the workshop until all have done this step. All questionnaire
responses are kept confidential.

A little background on Emergenetics:

Emergenetics is defined as a blend of genetics and learned experiences expressed as a behavior and a way of thinking. During the work-
shop, you will be scientifically grouped and regrouped with your colleagues as you learn how thinking and behavioral attributes affect
your communication, creativity, productivity and ability to work together.

Emergenetics is the merging of two ideas; behavior emerging from our life experiences driven biogenetics of our heritage. It reflects the
fact that we all have unique talents, some are in-born and others learned.

Emergenetics is a valuable tool that enhances an organization’s ability to make good people decisions and create strong work teams that
are more effective and innovative.

The Emergenetics Questionnaire was designed to reflect your thinking and behavioral attributes as compared to the general population.
There are no right or wrong answers. It is not an intelligence test. All questionnaire responses are kept confidential. At the workshop,
you will receive an individualized report of your unique characteristics.

items your “adoptee” can use are cards, care
packages, prepaid gift cards and small presents.
We know that our peoples’ losses range from
minor wind damage to complete loss of home
and all personal belongings. The effects of this
terrible storm will be felt for years and we ask
that if you take part in this effort, that you main-
tain your commitment at least through the end

tain our IGT family members as they rebuild

“I can’t describe the feeling my family and myself have
for our IGT family. The support that has arrived and
been distributed is appreciated more than you all will
ever know. I cannot describe the situation here and
you cannot ever understand it until you live it. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart.”
- George Kieman, Gulfport Sales

“Everyone in the Gulfport facility wanted to extend our
heartfelt thanks for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner
you provided for us and our families. Giving leaves an
imprint that endures forever, and you have all left an
imprint in our lives”
- Cherlyn Epperly, Gulfport Administrative

“Thank you doesn’t quite express my appreciation for
the kindness, caring and compassion that you all shared
with us last week and the wonderful meal that you pre-
pared. All of you touched all of us in a way that has
lifted our spirits, warmed our hearts and brought us
even closer together.”
- Ken Metcalf, Gulfport Training

“I’ve been back at the office this morning for about an
hour now and I have heard nothing but high praise for
your efforts and exertions on our behalf. The dinner
you worked so hard to provide was truly appreciated.
Just as it was so important to get our folks back to the
office to spend time away from the destruction, the
sense of family and normalcy that the Thanksgiving
Dinner represents is beyond value.

We have formed a group called The Encouragers to assist the many families in our com-
pany who were impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The IGT Encouragers are pro-
viding emotional and financial support for the 63 families from our company in the area
and we are seeking your help in our efforts.

Although every one of the families suffered some level of damage and loss, 18 of them
lost everything as a result of Katrina. We have another 35 families who suffered severe
damage to their homes and belongings as a result of the winds, rain, flood waters and

mold. It is our desire to provide as much holiday joy as possible for all our folks. We will
be traveling to New Orleans and Gulfport during Thanksgiving week to cook and serve a
holiday dinner for our people. At that dinner we will also be giving presents to each of
our employees and their family. That’s where you can help!

We are seeking donations that we can wrap, box and deliver by November 21 and there-
fore would need them at our Reno Facility by November 10. We want to ensure that
every one of the families who lost their holiday decorations leaves the dinner with a new
set. We want to ensure that every child has a new set of pajamas. We’d like to provide
each household with a nice gift basket of bath and beauty supplies. The list of needs is
limitless and whatever you can supply will be greatly appreciated.

We will note the source of every gift and IGT will run an ad in the Reno Gazette Journal
thanking you for your support. Please contact Danielle DuBois (775) 448-7363 or Tina
Kostrzeski at (775) 448-0354 to coordinate the pick up of your donations. Thank you in
advance for your kindness and care for people who are truly in need.

HSI - Xtreme Ability Challenge - 2005

RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
8/11/2005

Walking in Their Shoes
X-treme challenge raises money so HSI’s disabled
employees have a place to work, live and learn -
Siobhan McAndrew

Danielle DuBois had a huge task ahead of her: learning sign
language to compete in the HSI X-treme Ability Challenge.
MEDIA COVERAGE

She printed out the sign language alphabet and practiced
signing the letters.

But DuBois’s team at last year’s X-treme Ability Challenge
still had trouble.

It isn’t easy to learn the skills that the mentally or physi-
cally challenged have to master, which is the whole point
of the annual event. Business leaders, athletes, politicians
and TV and print personalities compete against each other
in eight tasks the employees at HSI do every day — things
such as wiring plugs, maneuvering a wheelchair and using
sign language.

―It is so much easier to practice signing out the letters than
actually communicate with anyone using it,‖ said DuBois.
Her company, International Game Technology, a Reno-
based slot machine manufacturer, enters more than 10
teams in the event.

IGT is planning on setting up a practice station in the lunch
room next week, said DuBois, who is helping to organize
her company’s teams.

The casino at CityCenter features 1,940 machines in 150,000 square feet of gaming
space. IGT games dominate the floor with 970 games, all connected to sbX™. Hot new
game themes include Wheel of Fortune® Slots, Sex and the City™, Megabucks®, Wolf
Run® and Lil’ Lady® MultiPLAY, Sirens™, Triple Red Hot Gold™, Maltese Fortune™,
and Cats Video Slots.

ARIA represents the biggest commercial install of sbX™ and G2S games to date. Our
partner WMS has 100 games on the floor connected to sbX™, powering the Service
Window and floor management on those machines. Aristocrat, Bally and Konami are
expected to be able to connect their machines to sbX™ in the new year.

Preparing for ARIA required the biggest enterprise-wide upgrade in IGT’s history: in the IGT team outside ARIA.
June, we upgraded all 12 MGMM properties to IGT Advantage® Patron Management
8.2. This effort required more than 80 individual upgrades at those 12 properties be-
forehand to bring all of MGMM up to the same product version. Since that upgrade,
IGT has continued to meet the customer’s expectations every step of the way.

"Congratulations to the installation team and the cross-functional teams for their sup-
port at ARIA," said Stacey Baggett, Director of Installation Services. "These teams have
sacrificed holidays, weekends and long hours to execute this project, including the Ad-
vantage upgrade. Now we're looking ahead to the next phase, with additional features
for the customer in IGT Advantage® 9.0 and sbX™ 4.0."

He makes a sudden turn of the head and you gasp. It's eerie - he
IS Frank Sinatra as he was 50 years ago.

RICK SONATA is a phenomenal entertainer with an uncanny
resemblance to Sinatra both physically and vocally. It's not just his
stage presence, his cocky swagger, or the phrasing of his songs -
Rick has incredible vocal talent, a feel for the music and the per-
sonal magnetism worthy of the headline performer he is.

Rick has opened for Phyllis Diller and Michael Burgess, and is
a frequent performer in Las Vegas at the Mirage, MGM Grand,
Excalibur and Caesar's Palace. As well he has appeared at
such hot spots as the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, and The
House of Blues in New Orleans.

He has performed with the Tommy Dorsey Band in Chicago,
Count Basie Band in Sacramento and the Nelson Riddle Or-
chestra in San Diego.

His is the only Sinatra Tribute Show approved by the Sinatra Fam- D A N I E L L E D U B O I S
ily and Rick was told by Nancy Sinatra that "he was almost a dead
ringer for her Dad."
Rick Sonata is available with a backing quartet, or with either his 7 Reno, Nevada 89503
775-376-3306
piece or 16 piece orchestras as well as a "Special Guest" entertainer - for
corporate events.
