International Game Technology (IGT) announced Monday that its Wheel of Fortune, Megabucks and Powerbucks slots paid out seven massive jackpots totaling more than $10 million in July.
Winners were awarded the following $1 million+ jackpots last month:
IGT Megabucks slots have paid more than $1 billion since their inception in 1986, the company explains, while IGT Powerbucks slots have paid 40 jackpots of $1 million or more since their Canadian debut in 2016. Wheel of Fortune slots have minted over 1,100 millionaires and awarded over $3.4 billion in jackpots since their launch in 1996.
The Wheel of Fortune slot is inspired by the popular Wheel of Fortune TV program, which reaches more than 25 million weekly viewers. Trademarked as America’s Game, it has earned seven Emmy Awards including a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show.
IGT's Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks slots also awarded three $1 million+ jackpots in June to lucky players at the Golden Gate Casino in Las Vegas and playing online in Quebec.
