Global gaming company International Game Technology (IGT) confirmed that its Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks slots awarded the 50th jackpot of more than CA$1 million in Canada. The debut of the globally-recognizable slots from the leading gaming company in the country dates back to 2016. Gradually growing, the number of millionaires that have secured a prize in Canada from the Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks slots, has now reached a milestone moment with the 50th lucky player securing a life-changing prize.

Judging by an announcement by IGT from Thursday, which comes after the recent publication of the company’s Sustainability Report, in less than a week, multiple jackpots dropped. The string of jackpot wins started in New Brunswick, Canada, on June 25, 2023, when a lucky online Powerbucks player enjoying Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway hit a jackpot of CA$1,533,377 ($1,168,300).

Then, only a few days later, on June 27, another Wheel of Fortune jackpot dropped. This happened at the Michael Gaughan Airport Slots located at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. One lucky player of the Wheel of Fortune Triple Double Emeralds slot won the life-changing $1,330,134 jackpot prize.

Shortly after, another Wheel of Fortune jackpot dropped in Canada. A lucky online Powerbucks slots customer in Ontario played the Wheel of Fortune Latin Getaways, allowing them to secure a jackpot prize of CA$1,029,546 ($784,400).

The globally-recognized Wheel of Fortune slots were launched nearly three decades ago back in 1996. Since then, IGT says, the slots have made more than 1,100 people millionaires. This translates to jackpot prizes of a sum surpassing $3.5 billion.

The Company Continues to Grow

Publishing its latest sustainability report, IGT highlighted multiple achievements it hit throughout 2022. Earlier this week, the company unveiled details regarding its latest report, highlighting advancements related to four of its core principles, including protection of its people, support for its communities, fostering sustainable operations and advancement of responsibility.

Earlier this month, IGT confirmed that its CEO of global lottery, Fabio Cairoli, unfortunately passed away. The company acknowledged his strategic guidance, dedication and commitment that helped it grow and expand. Cairoli was an exceptional leader with extensive experience in senior-level roles.

IGT senior director of video poker product management Darnell Johnson was similarly excited with the new partnership and hailed its significance. Johnson said that Fortune X Poker was another opportunity for players to enjoy an excellent gaming experience.

Fortune X Poker has already been integrated with the CrystalSlant cabinet which is precisely how the game was presented during the “ribbon-cutting” ceremony that took place last week.

IGT Commits to Excellent Products Across the Board

IGT has been an important supplier in the land-based casino sector, providing casinos across North America with excellent slots and games. In April alone, IGT realized as much as $17 million in paid-out jackpots to various winners.

The company has been very popular for its jackpot games, including the Megabucks which dropped the biggest single-slot jackpot in the history of the company worth $14,005,833 last month. Yaamava’ guests and gamers will now benefit from a cutting-edge video poker game available at the facility.

Moving forward, the supplier will provide the social casino with a range of popular iGaming experiences that have been established internationally. The partnership has been described as one of the most exciting gaming collaborations that will see award-winning and player-favorite games enter the portfolio at Fortune Coins.

Fortune Coins Adds More Power to Social Casino Offering

The companies are proud to bring players what they consider to be an enriched entertainment and gaming experience, with Fortune Coins status in the North American social casino scene a significant opportunity for both parties. Fortune Coins has used a robust platform to ensure that its social casino offer continues to improve and expand.

This way Fortune Coins Casino will be able to offer players precisely what they want, as the desire for more iGaming content has been strong with consumers. Just as well, Booming Games will have the opportunity to deploy its own range of games across Fortune Coins’ network and secure further market awareness for its products.

Existing and forthcoming games by the supplier will be shared with Coins Casino’s extensive audiences. This is part of the two companies’ broader strategy to secure partnerships with prominent entities that allow them to strengthen their respective offer.

Fresh Content Set to Enhance the Gaming Experience

Commenting on this opportunity, Fortune Coins head of marketing & partnerships Yuliya Ivanisova said that she was extremely happy to see this collaboration with Booming Games take off. She added:

Fortune Coins is on a mission to set a new threshold for innovative and engaging gaming and with valued partners like Booming Games, we will deliver.

“This collaboration is a testament to our unwavering dedication to maintaining our position as the leading provider of entertaining slot games,” Niehusen assured. He also said that the company anticipated a strong partnership unfolding to help the brands reach their shared brands.

Booming Games has also been expanding its reach over the past weeks and months. The company was onboarded with Rivalo to gain access to the Latin American region and spearhead its expansion there. Similarly, Booming Games also teamed up with Kindred Group to bring the supplier’s excellent titles to some of the group’s best-known iGaming brands.
