IGT launches second omnichanel Wide Area Progressive game Money Mania slots in Canada

International Game Technology (IGT) announced that it recently launched its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game for Canada, Money Mania slots. The game is currently available on British Columbia Lottery Corporation's (BCLC) PlayNow.com site and at 22 BCLC-governed casinos throughout British Columbia.

IGT stated that it 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.

IGT's Money Mania is a "proven multi-level progressive" (MLP) game that features player-favorite game mechanics and multiple base-game themes. The game includes a $100,000 Money Jackpot and a second-level WAP jackpot - Mania Jackpot.

With a jackpot-reset value of $4,000, the game's "Mania Jackpot" is designed to hit frequently, especially with land-based, online, and mobile gameplay all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter.

Dan Beebe, BCLC Chief Operating Officer, said: "We know our players love the excitement that the Powerbucks games offer, so BCLC is thrilled to launch IGT's Money Mania - another title that draws upon the same opportunity for cross-channel jackpots."

"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. Whether players choose to play Money Mania at the casino or online, we're confident this is another game they'll love," he added. 

For his part, David Flinn, IGT SVP Sales, Canada, South and Central America, commented: "IGT's Money Mania omnichannel WAP game is designed to frequently deliver mid-to-large-size jackpots, drive cross-channel gameplay, and engage BCLC players online and in casinos."

"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," he noted.

BCLC was the first gaming operator in the world to offer an omnichannel jackpot game when it partnered with IGT for the 2016 launch of Powerbucks slots. Since then, IGT's Powerbucks has remained one of the "top-performing" games in Canada and has minted more than 50 millionaires across the country.
