Zona de Azar USA – Virginia Lottery and IWG First to Launch Linked Progressive Jackpot e-Instants

USA.- July 20, 2021 www.zonadeazar.com Instant Win Gaming (IWG), the leading supplier of digital e-Instants to NASPL/WLA-member lotteries, congratulates the Virginia Lottery for becoming the first US lottery to launch separate e-Instant games that share the same linked progressive jackpot prizes.

Sales from separate e-Instant games simultaneously contribute to a set of shared linked progressive jackpot prizes. The linked jackpots, branded Big Money Jackpots, incorporate three in-game, instant-win jackpot prizes: a mini jackpot expected to be awarded multiple times each day, a mid-tier jackpot expected to be awarded twice per week, and a top-prize jackpot expected to be awarded twice per month. Actual frequency will depend on the volume of play.

Initially, two e-Instant titles, Cash Buster Multiplier and Prospector’s Gold, combine to offer Virginia Lottery players the chance to scoop the rolling jackpot prizes. These games incorporate the same bonus mechanic when awarding the chance to win the progressive jackpots. This creates a consistent look and feel to the linked jackpots feature across multiple e-Instants, independent of each individual game’s theme and play style.

IWG’s linked InstantJackpots module can be applied to any IWG game, and the company has plans to add more titles into the jackpot component over the coming months.

As with its InstantJackpots technology, the linked functionality is completely contained within IWG’s InstantRGS™ (remote game server) and ensures lotteries can launch these games with no development support required at the iLottery platform level.
