International Game Technology (IGT) has launched Money Mania as its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game in Canada.
The new slot is currently available on British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) PlayNow.com site and across 22 BCLC-governed casinos in the province.
The launch builds on the success of IGT’s Powerbucks omnichannel game, which first went live with BCLC in 2016.
“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,” said BCLC chief operating officer Dan Beebe. “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.”
Money Mania is a multi-level progressive (MLP) game with a $100,000 top-level Money Jackpot and a fast-growing, fast-hitting second-level WAP jackpot – Mania Jackpot.
With a jackpot-reset value of $4,000, Mania Jackpot is designed to hit frequently, especially with land-based, online and mobile gameplay all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter.
“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,” said David Flinn, IGT senior vice president of sales for 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.”
