Gaming provider International Game Technology (IGT) announced Monday that, following a successful launch in tribal gaming jurisdictions, the high-performing Money Mania Wide Area Progressive (WAP) video slots game is now live in commercial gaming jurisdictions.
Money Mania is housed on IGT’s triple-screen PeakSlant32 cabinet, and features two base game themes, “Pharaoh’s Fortune” and “Cleopatra." The game includes many mechanics and is characterized by its static top-level “Money Jackpot” and the frequency of its second-level “Mania Jackpot” WAP jackpot.
Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City are amongst the first commercial casinos in the U.S. to feature this game.
Derek Stevens, Circa Resort & Casino CEO, spoke about this addition and said: “After playing IGT's Money Mania, I immediately knew that I had to give players at Circa Casino & Resort an opportunity to experience this high-excitement game. As we've seen with IGT's Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks games over the years, players actively seek out games that award frequent and significant jackpots. Our guests are readily embracing Money Mania on our gaming floors which leads me to believe that it will have real staying power."
Nick Khin, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Gaming, added: "It has been exciting to watch IGT customers and their players benefit from the thrill of Money Mania's compelling gameplay and how frequently they're hitting the second-level jackpot. In launching Money Mania in commercial jurisdictions and linking its liquidity between the largest gaming destinations in the U.S., IGT is elevating jackpot excitement across the country and giving our customers another way to engage players and differentiate their casino floors."
Through its early deployments in tribal casinos, Money Mania has delivered on its high-performance promise by achieving more than 2x or above floor average play in many of the venues, IGT says. Additionally, players across the country are enjoying frequent payouts from the title's second-level jackpot that is linked through WAP technology.
