IGT Online Slots Pay Out Massive Jackpots

Casino game developers IGT have put out an official report detailing that two online slots players have won big. According to the report, the two lucky players in Canada both walked away with amounts exceeding CA$1 million. What is most interesting, however, is that the massive wins occurred just days apart, which is uncommon as far as big wins of this type are concerned.

In regards to the exact amounts, an IGT spokesperson gave the details. The first amount won came to a total CA$2.2 million, while the second was a touch less at just over $1 million. Either way, the players must be jumping for joy, and are likely already making big plans with their newfound fortunes.

But the details most online slots enthusiasts are concerned about are which games were so generous over such a short period of time?

The Winning Games

The IGT spokesperson elaborated, revealing which two games handed out the big cash prizes. It turns out that that the first big CA$2.2 million win came from Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune: Exotic Far East on the 25^th May 2020. The second, which occurred just three days later, came from Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune: Hawaiian Getaway on the 28^th May 2020.

In terms of sites, both winners were members at PlayOLG, which is IGT’s advanced link for players spinning the reels in Canada.

With around CA$3.2 million paid out via online slots in less than a week, Kim Clark, OLG vice president of products management, had a few words to share amidst the excitement.

An Incredible Occurrence

Clark explained that OLG had introduced the Powerbucks games to Canadian players just a few months prior, and that the range of unique online slots had immediately got attention from local players. Now that the games had paid out life changing amounts on two separate occasions, Clark continued, the new slots likely be more popular than ever. She concluded that the CA$2.2 million payout was the biggest in Powerbucks history, making the occasion not only exciting, but also record breaking.

David Flinn, IGT regional vice president of Canada, had a few words of his own. He pointed out that despite land based casinos being closed in Canada due to the world health crisis, the online world had continued to offer Canadians gambling game entertainment. This, Flinn explained, plus the new record breaking win, would both serve to build the IGT Powerbucks reputation in the region, and the world.
