International Game Technology (IGT) has launched its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game in Canada, this one called Money Mania Slots.
British Columbia Lottery Corporation is introducing the new slot game to its cross-channel catalog, offering its casino and online players a second opportunity to score progressive jackpots.
Money Mania is now available on the PlayNow.com site, BCLC’s online-gambling platform, and is in 22 BCLC casinos. IGT’s Powerbucks, launched in 2016, was the first omnichannel WAP option for its players. Since the launch, Powerbucks has remained one of the top-performing games in Canada, with more than 50 people hitting million-dollar-plus jackpots.
“We know our players love the excitement that the Powerbucks games offer. IGT’s Money Mania is another title that draws on the same opportunity for cross-channel jackpots,” said Dan Beebe, BCLC Chief Operating Officer. “Both BCLC and IGT are passionate about bringing innovative games to players and fueling responsible growth in the industry. We also recognize that BCLC is in a unique position with our ability to offer cross-channel experiences for players.”
IGT is the only supplier in the world to offer omnichannel jackpot games with shared jackpot liquidity across the land-based, online, and mobile versions of the games.
Money Mania includes a $100,000 top-level “Money Jackpot” and a fast-growing second-level “Mania Jackpot” (the jackpot resets at a value of $4,000). With the land-based, online, and mobile game play all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter, it hits frequently.
“IGT’s Money Mania game is designed to frequently deliver mid- to large-size jackpots, drive cross-channel gameplay, and engage BCLC players online and in casinos,” said David Flinn, IGT’s Senior Vice President of Sales, Canada, South and Central America. “Like Powerbucks, IGT’s Money Mania is at the forefront of jackpot innovation and supports IGT’s commitment to and leadership in omnichannel content and innovation.”
