IGT expands Powerbucks footprint in Canada

(PRESS RELEASE) -- IGT today announced that it has expanded its Powerbucks footprint in Canada with the recent deployment of the millionaire-making wide area progressive game at Grey Rock Casino in New Brunswick, Canada. New Brunswick is the fourth Canadian province to feature this omni-channel progressive game.

Players at Grey Rock Casino can now win a life-changing jackpot at any bet level while playing the Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune Winning Wedges game on the CrystalWheel gaming machine. The games’ jackpot is attached to the Powerbucks liquidity pool that combines play from casino, desktop, tablet and mobile Powerbucks games across all the participating provinces.

“IGT is proud to extend the success of Powerbucks to our customers at Grey Rock Casino,” said David Flinn, IGT Regional Vice President, Canada. “IGT’s Powerbucks is a player-favorite theme among online and land-based players across Canada, and its growing omni-channel jackpot pool enables our customers to offer players a thrilling slot experience unlike any other in the region.”

Powerbucks is the world’s first omni-channel wide area progressive game that links the jackpot prize pool between land-based, mobile, and desktop versions of the game into one liquidity pool to deliver some of the largest slot jackpots in Canada. Since making its Canada debut in 2016, Powerbucks has minted eight millionaires.
