IGT's games provide jackpots exceeding three million dollars in the month of June
In the month of June, several casinos in California and Quebec have experienced life-changing wins on IGT's Megabucks, Powerbucks, and Whitney Houston slots games.
The Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, California, recorded a massive $3,136,503 Megabucks jackpot on June 22, 2025. This win was a linked progressive jackpot on a Megabucks slot machine and created quite a stir, with the news being shared widely on social media as a major local jackpot [2][3][5].
While no specific Quebec casino was directly mentioned in the recent jackpot reports, IGT's Powerbucks slots, which are popular in Canadian markets including Quebec, have paid out 68 jackpots of CA$1 million or more since 2016. This suggests that large wins occur regularly in Quebec [5].
The Whitney Houston Slots game awarded a $1,515,035 jackpot in April 2025 at Virgin Las Vegas, which is outside California and Quebec but is relevant to IGT's portfolio of big wins [2]. However, no recent jackpots on IGT's Powerbucks or Whitney Houston Slots specifically in Quebec casinos were identified in the latest data.
Megabucks, the world's first wide-area progressive jackpot system, has been awarding life-changing jackpots since 1986. Powerbucks, on the other hand, has been a significant player in the market, with its Canadian debut in 2016 marking the start of many CA$1 million or more jackpots [5].
It's important to note that no details were provided about the identity of the lucky slot players.
In summary, the Eagle Mountain Casino in California stands out with a multi-million Megabucks jackpot in mid-2025, and IGT's Powerbucks slots (common in Quebec) have a history of multi-million jackpots, though no specific recent Quebec casino jackpot was found in the available sources [2][3][5]. The Whitney Houston Slots also had a notable jackpot recently but not in the queried locations [2].
Casinos in California and Quebec have seen life-changing wins on casino-games such as IGT's Megabucks, Powerbucks, and Whitney Houston slots, showcasing the allure and potential rewards within the casino-culture. Notably, the casino-personality who won the $3,136,503 Megabucks jackpot at Eagle Mountain Casino in California remains undisclosed.
