America’s Premiere Lottery is Now a G
by Cee Stuart
Remember the huge lottery jackpot last February that turned eight Nebraska meatpacking workers into multimillionaires? Or the West Virginia man who won a $315 million lottery a few years ago? ey all won on Powerball, one of America’s premier gaming brands. And
now, WMS Gaming has translated the Powerball lottery experience, with all its thrills to a brand new, phenomenal slot!
e remarkable new Powerball slots, in both video and spinning reel versions, break a lot of new ground both in how the game plays—and how it pays o —and more than lives up to its revered lottery parent. Powerball is a fun game with lots of slot action o ering not just one progressive award, but a whole series of continuously growing jackpots that can be won singly or in several combinations. In fact, Powerball slots are the rst slot games that give players the chance to hit all nine progressive jackpots at once. And WMS game designers say that the jackpots won’t roll around just once in a while, they’ll hit often enough to keep the excitement at fever pitch.
Win Up to Nine Jackpots with One Bet!
At the pinnacle of Powerball slots, there is a top wide-area progressive jackpot that starts at $500,000 in California and other Native American jurisdictions. In addition, ever-evolving computer-based slot machine technology has made possible a series of nine additional local-area progressive prizes that, depending on the sequence of the particular bonus
round, can result in one, more, or all nine paying o at once. ese progressives, combined with winning symbols in regular play, mean that Powerball slots provide lots of action designed to deliver pure slot excitement.
Californians, long deprived of Powerball jackpot chances, (the Powerball lottery, as many know, is not available in California) now have the exciting slot version of the famed lottery to play. Powerball slots are currently available for play at
