POWERBUCKS WATCH ‘N WIN Instant prizes are won in-store and are determined by random number generator (RNG).
The outcome of the RNG is animated on the Customer Display Unit. For POWERBUCKS WHEEL OF FORTUNE, the video shows a spinning prize wheel with a pointer that indicates the Instant prize when the wheel stops (either an Instant Prize or a “0” representing a non-winner). For POWERBUCKS CLEOPATRA, the video shows three spinning rings that indicate either an Instant Prize if the final position displays three matching prize amounts in the highlighted column, or no Instant prize if the final position does not display three matching prize amounts in the highlighted column.
The Instant Win prize area of the printed ticket shows either the value of an Instant Prize or “No Instant Win” representing a non-winner.
The animation is for entertainment purposes only and has no impact on the determination of the instant outcome as determined by RNG. In the event of any discrepancy, the Instant Prize as determined by RNG and recorded in OLG’s on-line system governs.
POWERBUCKS is an IGT property and was North America’s first multi-channel wide area progressive jackpot.
