"This year IGT brings its biggest and best Megabucks game to the market, featuring MultiPLAY, 13 progressive awards and a large top award," added Rivera.
Megabucks Wild Sapphires MultiPLAY Multi-Level Progressives combine a popular player favorite with a new three-game MultiPLAY interface that allows multiple games to be played simultaneously for more game action and increased chances to win. Thirteen in-house progressive awards and a Wide Area Progressive jackpot offer multiple award possibilities.
Each of the 13 in-house progressives is triggered by a combination of three symbols on any of the three games in play. The unique Step Up feature adds 2X, 3X, 4X and 5X multiplier symbols from the first and second base games to the MegaGame for increased winning opportunities. And when a max bet is played, there is a chance to win the Megabucks top jackpot award.
Making his debut with the Megabucks family is Bill Cash, who made his first appearance in the popular Top Dollar Reel MultiPLAY Slots.
In addition, this is the first Megabucks game to feature photos of previous Megabucks winners as part of the top box attract screens. With a life-changing jackpot ranging from us$ 1 million to us$ 10 million depending on the jurisdiction, players who take home the top prize will be forever changed.
