International Game Technology (IGT) announced that its Powerbucks™ and Whitney Houston Slots™ games produced a pair of million-dollar-plus jackpot wins during March.
Lucky players secured the major prizes across both online and casino-based play:
Major jackpots continued into the following month. On April 1, IGT said a Megabucks progressive slot machine at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino paid out more than $10.48 million to an anonymous player. The jackpot of $10,486,432.04 was hit on the Megabucks Triple Red Hot 7s Spitfire Multipliers game with a $5 wager.
IGT noted that Megabucks, launched in 1986, is one of the longest-running progressive slot networks, and the win is part of the large jackpots typically generated by wide-area progressive machines that pool bets across multiple casinos.
