IGT is one of the biggest pokies developers in Australia and New Zealand, and the company has made impressive progress this past year. Venturing into social gambling has been a profitable endeavour for International Games Technology, and now the company is getting its feet wet in other gambling markets.
This month, IGT has gotten involved in local lotteries, launching the MegaHits jackpot network that has recently paid out its first million-dollar jackpot prize. MegaHits is a new progressive jackpot that spans several states across America. It is one of the few land-based pokies networks to offer players jackpots that cross state borders rather than being limited to one geographical location.
As such, the jackpot grows to impressive heights; even though it resets at $100 000, the operator anticipates that it will pay out jackpots worth millions regularly, and its first-ever jackpot was worth $1.4 million. As such, it seems to be the company’s land-based answer to its MegaJackpots online pokies network.
The multi-state link has been made available by the Multi-State Lottery Association, as well as lottery commissions in Delaware, West Virginia and Rhode Island. It is a great collaborative effort for all parties involved, as they can all reap the benefits of IGT’s innovative software. The great thing about this progressive jackpot network is that players with all types of budgets can take part.
Penny pokies are available, in addition to pokies that have maximum bets of $3 or more; so, all players can cash in on the generous cash prizes that are available from the MegaHits progressive pokies network. While MegaHits is currently only available in the United States, it would not be far-fetched to see the networking becoming profitable in Australia or New Zealand.
With plenty of states that work together on a wide range of projects, a cross-border progressive jackpot network provided by a well-known pokies provider would be something to consider for local lottery commissions.
