International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT) opened sharply higher on news it may be on the verge of receiving an all-cash $4 billion offer from Italian lottery operator GTECH SpA.

Speculation recently had pegged buyout bids at up to $6 billion. International Game's opening price Thursday gives it a market value of nearly $3.9 billion.

Rumor of the GTECH offer first surfaced Thursday in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica and was relayed by Bloomberg news service.

International Game traded recently at $15.64, up 3.5 percent.
