IGT’s Powerbucks surpasses CAD$100 million in jackpot payouts in Canada

IGT announced that its Powerbucks™ omnichannel wide-area progressive slot has surpassed CAD$100 million in total jackpot payouts in Canada.

The milestone was reached following a recent win at Casino Lac-Leamy, where a player secured a CAD$1,156,696.51 jackpot on April 24, 2026, playing Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune Cash Link™ Big Money.

“IGT’s Powerbucks has been a cornerstone of Loto-Québec’s slot offering for nearly a decade,” said Kevin Taylor, Loto-Québec Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Casinos and Gaming Halls. “Being part of IGT’s CAD$100 million Powerbucks jackpot celebration is a memorable moment for Casino du Lac-Leamy and our players, and a continuation of the game’s appreciation in our casinos and online.”

IGT said Powerbucks, launched in 2016, was the first slot to link land-based, online, and mobile jackpots into one progressive pool. The company added that it remains the only supplier offering omnichannel WAP jackpot products.

Chad Helm, IGT Vice President of Sales, Canada and Oregon, said: “As the world’s first omnichannel WAP jackpot, IGT’s Powerbucks has consistently delivered on its promise of awarding life-changing jackpots at any bet level and enabling casino operators across Canada to drive value and nurture cross-platform player relationships."

“Hitting the CAD$100 million Powerbucks jackpot milestone at Casino Lac Leamy on a Wheel of Fortune-themed game is extra special given our current Wheel of Fortune Slots 30th anniversary celebration.”
