International Game Technology PLC (IGT) has launched its Money Mania wide area progressive (WAP) video slot game in Nevada and New Jersey’s commercial gaming markets. The release follows a recent successful product launch throughout tribal gaming jurisdictions.
Money Mania contains two base game themes, Pharaoh's Fortune and Cleopatra. It is housed on the company’s PeakSlant32 cabinet.
Circa Resort & Casino CEO Derek Stevens said: "After playing IGT's Money Mania, I immediately knew that I had to give players at Circa Casino & Resort an opportunity to experience this high-excitement game.”
Stevens went on to add that the casino is confident Money Mania well do well based on the success of other IGT games there.
“As we've seen with IGT's Wheel of Fortune and Megabucks games over the years, players actively seek out games that award frequent and significant jackpots. Our guests are readily embracing Money Mania on our gaming floors which leads me to believe that it will have real staying power."
Among the first US commercial casinos to feature the game include Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Gaming Nick Khin commented: "It has been exciting to watch IGT customers and their players benefit from the thrill of Money Mania's compelling gameplay and how frequently they're hitting the second-level jackpot.
"In launching Money Mania in commercial jurisdictions and linking its liquidity between the largest gaming destinations in the US, IGT is elevating jackpot excitement across the country and giving our customers another way to engage players and differentiate their casino floors."
