LAS VEGAS and SEATTLE, Aug. 13,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology
PLC's ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) DoubleDown Casino® social
gaming website raised the stakes today by introducing its new
jackpot feature that gives players the chance to win more than two
billion chips.
Initially available on the classic Wolf Run™ slot game, a pair
of jackpots is launching on the DoubleDown Casino website: the
Super Jackpot, which grows quickly, and hits more frequently; and
the Mega Jackpot™ feature, where a player can win more than two
billion chips. When a jackpot is due to hit soon, it will 'go
hot' and the graphics will catch on fire, letting players know that
they should spin to win before someone else does.
"Many players love slot machines because they offer the chance
to win jackpots, so it's a natural extension of DoubleDown Casino
that we introduce jackpots," said Joe
Sigrist, IGT SVP and GM of DoubleDown Casino.
"Providing the chance for any player to win more than two billion
chips from a DoubleDown Casino Mega Jackpot makes our best-in-class
game portfolio even more fun and exciting."
