A few days ago, IGT posted its financial results for the second quarter of the year. The results showed that the company’s progress came to a halt as it experienced multiple declines across the board. Even IGT’s over-performing segments were offset by significant losses. The losses, sadly, represent a year-on-year decline for the company.
