(Las Vegas).- Canada’s first omnichannel wide-area progressive delivers a historic prize at Casino Lac-Leamy.
IGT announced today that its award-winning Powerbucks™ omnichannel wide-area progressive (“WAP”) game for Canada recently surpassed the CAD$100 million milestone in cumulative jackpot payouts.
A lucky Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune Cash Link™ Big Money player at Casino Lac Leamy in Québec won a CAD$1,156,696.51 jackpot on April 24, 2026 — taking Powerbucks’ total payout tally past the CAD$100 million mark and furthering the title’s jackpot-paying legacy.
“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.”
“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,” said Chad Helm, IGT Vice President of Sales, Canada and Oregon. “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.”
IGT’s Powerbucks was the gaming industry’s first slot game to link jackpot liquidity between the land-based, online and mobile versions of a slot game to a single progressive jackpot. With a static and progressive jackpot, each with a CAD$1 million reset value, Powerbucks quickly transformed the gaming landscape in Canada following its 2016 debut. IGT remains the only supplier to offer omnichannel WAP jackpot products.
