Instant Win Gaming Launches InstantFuse

Instant Win Gaming (IWG), a leading supplier of eInstant games to NASPL and WLA-member lotteries, has launched InstantFuse, a groundbreaking new prizing innovation that enables multiple prize tiers, including progressive jackpots, to combine into a single, unified prize during designated periods of play.

Debuting within IWG’s newest multi-state progressive program, Rocket Jackpots, InstantFuse dynamically merges separate jackpot pools into a combined jackpot for a limited time each day, creating defined moments of heightened anticipation and giving players a compelling new reason to engage during key play windows. This approach also minimizes jackpot fatigue by offering the larger combined prize only during limited daily windows rather than continuously.

Launching initially with the North Carolina Education Lottery and Virginia Lottery, Rocket Jackpots features two independent multi-lottery jackpots, branded Power Jackpot and Boost Jackpot, which merge during a scheduled daily window into a single combined award, the Power Boost Jackpot.

As with all IWG progressive programs, InstantFuse is powered by the company’s proprietary InstantRGS (remote game server), enabling seamless deployment across multiple jurisdictions without requiring development support from platform providers.

Rocket Jackpots builds on the success of IWG’s multi-state progressive portfolio, which over the 32 months since initial launch has awarded 34 prizes of $1 million or more, including a record-setting $6.7 million jackpot, the largest eInstant win in U.S. iLottery history.

Jason Lisiecki, Executive Vice President at IWG, said: “InstantFuse is a true step-change in how jackpot games can be experienced. For the first time, lotteries can create scheduled moments where multiple jackpots combine into a single, more powerful prize. It’s a simple concept with a big impact, enhancing player excitement while supporting a sustainable jackpot ecosystem.”

Corey Klingel, Strategic Games Manager, Virginia Lottery, said: “Rocket Jackpots represents the next evolution of our progressive offering. With InstantFuse at its core, we’re introducing a new way for players to experience jackpots—bringing them together in moments that truly matter.”

Allan Altholz, Draw and Digital Games Product Manager at NCEL, added: “We’re excited to launch Rocket Jackpots and introduce InstantFuse to our players. It’s a unique concept that brings something genuinely new to jackpot gameplay while enhancing the overall player experience.”
