IGT announced this week that IGT Canada Solutions launched the Whitney Houston Powerbucks slots game in Canada. Players in British Columbia can play the game at 33 of British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s land-based casinos or online at PlayNow.com.
“IGT is excited to partner with BCLC for the omnichannel launch of the star-studded Whitney Houston Powerbucks slots in Canada,” IGT Vice President Sales, Canada & Oregon Chad Helm said in a statement. “Nearly a decade after their launch, IGT’s Powerbucks games continue to be among the highest-performing slot games across Canada. Adding Whitney Houston Slots to the Powerbucks game family further enhances the attractiveness of the link and diversifies the offering for our customers.”
Whitney Houston Powerbucks slots deliver an immersive experience that combines the appeal of Houston’s greatest hits with potential seven-figure wins of Powerbucks omnichannel jackpots. The theme integrates chart-topping songs like I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me), and How Will I Know with music-themed graphics, mechanics, and bonus features that appeal to slot enthusiasts and Houston fans.
Whitney Houston Powerbucks slots players are eligible for the game’s static CAD 1 million jackpot at any bet level, while the game’s omnichannel wide-area-progressive jackpot can be won with a qualifying CAD 3 wager. BCLC was the first casino operator in Canada to offer the Powerbucks link when it launched the namesake game in 2016.
IGT Powerbucks slots is the world’s first omnichannel wide-area-progressive game that links the jackpot prize pool between gaming machines found in land-based casinos with digital-based games in Canada. Since their debut, Powerbucks slots have paid 71 jackpots of CAD 1 million or more across the country.
