VANCOUVER (September 4, 2024) – BCLC is introducing a new slots game to its cross-channel catalogue, providing its casino and online players with a second option to score progressive jackpots. Building on the success of the popular Powerbucks™ games, IGT’s Money Mania is now available on PlayNow, BCLC’s online gambling platform and 22 BCLC casinos.
BCLC once again partnered with IGT to bring a cross-channel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game to Canada and offer a second omnichannel WAP option to its players after Powerbucks.
“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."
“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 Dan Beebe, BCLC’s Chief Operating Officer. “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.”
IGT’s Money Mania is a proven multi-level progressive game that features player-favourite game mechanics and multiple base-game themes. The game includes a $100,000 top-level “Money Jackpot” and a fast-growing, fast-hitting second-level “Mania Jackpot” jackpot. Because the jackpot resets at a 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.
“IGT’s Money Mania 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’s Senior Vice President of Sales, 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.”
BCLC was the first gaming operator in the world to offer a cross-channel 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.
