Supplier IGT announced that its award-winning Powerbucks omnichannel wide-area progressive game for Canada recently surpassed the CAD$100 million milestone in cumulative jackpot payouts. 

A Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Big Money player at Casino Lac Leamy in Québec won a CAD$1.15 million jackpot on April 24, taking Powerbucks’ total payout tally past the CAD$100 million mark and furthering the title’s jackpot-paying legacy.

“As the world’s first omnichannel WAP jackpot, IGT’s Powerbucks has consistently delivered on its promise of awarding life-changing jackpots at any bet level and enabling casino operators across Canada to drive value and nurture cross-platform player relationships,” said Chad Helm, IGT VP of sales, Canada and Oregon. “Hitting the CAD$100 million Powerbucks jackpot milestone at Casino Lac Leamy on a Wheel of Fortune-themed game is extra special given our current Wheel of Fortune Slots 30th anniversary celebration.” 

Introduced in 2016, IGT’s Powerbucks was the gaming industry’s first slot game to link jackpot liquidity between the land-based, online and mobile versions of a slot game to a single progressive jackpot. IGT remains the only supplier to offer omnichannel WAP jackpot products.
