July 17, 2023 By The Mystic Gambler Leave a Comment

A month after forming a digital and land-based alliance with Synot Games, Belgium’s Peppermill Casino announced an expansion of its partnership with Pragmatic Play, a leading provider of iGaming content.

Under the new agreement, Pragmatic Play will power the Belgian operator with many games. As agreed, the provider’s full dice slots collection will be rolled out in Belgium, allowing Peppermill Casino to engage its players with exciting gaming experiences.

As per the deal, Pragmatic Play’s The Dog House Dice and Snakes & Ladders Megadice are now live with Peppermill Casino, providing players with experiences inspired by popular games. Pragmatic Play’s dice slots are a fairly new addition to Pragmatic Play’s portfolio but already enjoy a lot of popularity.

Recently, the supplier struck a deal with Finland’s Veikkaus, further bolstering its European footprint. The company has a global presence, allowing players across the globe to enjoy its content. Boasting a robust pipeline, the supplier is constantly working on new additions to its portfolio. Some of its latest releases include 3 Buzzing Wilds and Hellvis Wild.

The Deal Will Reinforce Peppermill’s Offering

Representatives from the two firms commented on their expanded agreement with Irina Cornides, Pragmatic Play’s chief operating officer, sharing her excitement:

We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Peppermill Casino by bringing Pragmatic Play’s highly entertaining selection of dice slots to players in Belgium.

Irina Cornides, COO, Pragmatic Play

Cornides noted that Pragmatic Play’s dice slots “combine the excitement” of traditional slot games with the opportunity to score additional winning combinations and win more money.

Meanwhile, Peppermill Casino’s general director, Anthony Rus, lauded Pragmatic Play as one of the best iGaming content providers in the world. Rus praised the supplier’s portfolio of “instantly recognizable games,” saying that his team is glad to introduce more of them to Peppermill Casino players.

We’re keen to introduce its range of dice slots to Peppermill Casino – our players have routinely embraced these titles and Pragmatic Play’s are an extremely exciting addition!

Anthony Rus, general director, Peppermill Casino

Peppermill Casino is one of the newest iGaming operators in Belgium. The company focuses on dice games, slots and table games and is constantly looking to expand its library of content.

To that end, Peppermill Casinos continues to seek out the best games from industry-leading suppliers. In addition to its recent deal with Synot, Peppermill also minted partnerships with companies such as BF Games and Stakelogic.

Powerball Climbs to Third-Largest Jackpot in Game History

July 15, 2023 By The Mystic Gambler Leave a Comment

The Powerball jackpot for this weekend’s drawing is an estimated $875 million, the game’s third-richest prize ever offered.

After no ticket matched the six winning numbers on Wednesday night, the Powerball jackpot rolled over for a 36th consecutive time. Officials with the Multi-State Lottery Association, which operates Powerball on behalf of its 48 participating jurisdictions, are forecasting a rush of play between the drawings.

The $875 million prize for Saturday’s drawing includes a cash value of an estimated $441.9 million. The cash prize for Wednesday’s drawing was $367.9 million, meaning Powerball officials expect sales between Wednesday through Saturday evening to be north of $100 million.

About 68 cents of every $2 Powerball play goes towards the cash-sum jackpot. The advertised jackpot is for the 30-year annuity, which is dependent on the Federal Reserve’s benchmark interest rate.

Powerball and Mega Millions pay out their annuity jackpots through bonds insured by the US Treasury. The interest rates on those bonds are based on the federal interest rate. And that’s why as interest rates have increased over the past year, annuitized lottery jackpots have escalated quicker than they otherwise would.

Another Top-10 Jackpot

Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot is not only the third-largest Powerball annuitized jackpot, but also one of the 10 largest lottery prizes ever offered in US history. At $875 million, the jackpot already ranks seventh in U.S. lottery history.

To claim a top-five spot, the jackpot will need to swell to more than $1.33 billion, which was the Mega Millions jackpot hit on July 29, 2022. Powerball holds the top two spots with jackpots of $2.04 billion won on Nov. 7, 2022, and a $1.58 billion prize won on Jan. 13, 2016.

Each ticket’s chances of winning the Powerball jackpot are just one in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning some sort of prize are one in 24.9.

During Wednesday’s drawing, while no one won the jackpot, more than 1.8 million tickets won lower-tier prizes worth a combined $16.5 million.

The July 12 drawing included two tickets, sold in Florida and Indiana, that matched all five white numbers, but not the red Powerball to claim the game’s second-best prize of $1 million.

Another 36 tickets matched four of the five white balls and the red Powerball for $50,000 prizes. Of those winners, 26 of the tickets purchased the $1 add-on Power Play option that tripled their prize to $150K after the Power Play landed on 3x.

Mega Millions Tops Half-Billion

Powerball isn’t the only lottery game growing its jackpot. Mega Millions is also on a run, with the game’s prize climbing to $560 million.

Mega Millions will next be drawn Friday night at 11 p.m. EST. Mega Millions officials say it’s only the seventh time in the game’s 21-year history that the jackpot has climbed upwards of $550 million.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are even worse than Powerball at about one in 302.5 million.

He hit the record-setting payout on a progressive slot machine in the higher limits room at the Santa Ynez, Calif. gaming property.

Some of the money will go toward tuition for the winner’s grandchildren. One apparently favorite granddaughter, who will reach the age of 16 in September, will get a new car as a present thanks to the jackpot, according to KABC.

The previous record jackpot at Chumash was $1 million which was won in 2014.

“I was just surprised and very glad,” the mystery winner told the Santa Barbara News Press about the jackpot.

He plays at the casino every couple of months, the Sacramento Bee further reported.

The casino is located about 125 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Sons Bring Luck

Earlier this month, on July 6, a mother named Patricia Hendricks of Michigan, won $416,040 while playing Three Card Poker at the Paris Las Vegas casino.

She was playing the game for about 30 minutes when she got the win. She was visiting Las Vegas with her family, including her three sons, when she decided to stop into the Caesars Entertainment gaming property.

With the jackpot, Hendricks will be able to afford a trip to Europe.

She also will share some of the money with her sons.

Caesars Palace Jackpots

In Las Vegas, on Tuesday, another unnamed player won $102,050 on a slot machine at Caesars Palace.

Just days earlier, on June 27, another mystery player won $100K while playing video poker also at Caesars Palace.

It was on July 1, when another mystery player won $100K jackpot at Rampart Casino in Las Vegas. The person won with royal flush in diamonds.

Across the county at Treasure Island Resort & Casino in Welch, Minn., the property announced this month an unnamed winner won $109,983.36 while playing Dragon Link Autumn Moon.

IGT’s Powerbucks, Wheel of Fortune Slots Award 50th Jackpot in Canada

July 14, 2023 By The Mystic Gambler Leave a Comment

Global gaming company International Game Technology (IGT) confirmed that its Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks slots awarded the 50th jackpot of more than CA$1 million in Canada. The debut of the globally-recognizable slots from the leading gaming company in the country dates back to 2016. Gradually growing, the number of millionaires that have secured a prize in Canada from the Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks slots, has now reached a milestone moment with the 50th lucky player securing a life-changing prize.

Judging by an announcement by IGT from Thursday, which comes after the recent publication of the company’s Sustainability Report, in less than a week, multiple jackpots dropped. The string of jackpot wins started in New Brunswick, Canada, on June 25, 2023, when a lucky online Powerbucks player enjoying Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway hit a jackpot of CA$1,533,377 ($1,168,300).

Then, only a few days later, on June 27, another Wheel of Fortune jackpot dropped. This happened at the Michael Gaughan Airport Slots located at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. One lucky player of the Wheel of Fortune Triple Double Emeralds slot won the life-changing $1,330,134 jackpot prize.

Shortly after, another Wheel of Fortune jackpot dropped in Canada. A lucky online Powerbucks slots customer in Ontario played the Wheel of Fortune Latin Getaways, allowing them to secure a jackpot prize of CA$1,029,546 ($784,400).

The globally-recognized Wheel of Fortune slots were launched nearly three decades ago back in 1996. Since then, IGT says, the slots have made more than 1,100 people millionaires. This translates to jackpot prizes of a sum surpassing $3.5 billion.

The Company Continues to Grow

Publishing its latest sustainability report, IGT highlighted multiple achievements it hit throughout 2022. Earlier this week, the company unveiled details regarding its latest report, highlighting advancements related to four of its core principles, including protection of its people, support for its communities, fostering sustainable operations and advancement of responsibility.

Earlier this month, IGT confirmed that its CEO of global lottery, Fabio Cairoli, unfortunately passed away. The company acknowledged his strategic guidance, dedication and commitment that helped it grow and expand. Cairoli was an exceptional leader with extensive experience in senior-level roles.
