Money Gong Emperor

Money Gong Emperor is an IGT slot that turned up on October 16, 2026, in FanDuel’s Michigan lobby, marked “New” with bets of $0.08 up to $800. That’s our first US sighting, and IGT hasn’t announced a US date. Its earlier announcement set the online launch for Europe, the Middle East and Africa on March 26.

It began as a land-based machine. IGT calls it the No. 1 premium slot across Western Europe, excluding the UK, and says it has performed at 2.9 times the average slot against house benchmarks. Those are IGT’s own figures, and we haven’t checked them independently.

The game is built around two Hold & Win bonuses. The main one has two tiers with a Grand prize at the top, and modifiers such as Prize Boosts raise the cash values while the round is in play. The second, the Money Gong Bonus, is another Hold & Win-style round with its own look. There’s also a Random Wilds Bonus: when the game’s two pots combine, you get six, 12 or 18 Bonus Spins.

IGT’s announcement leaves out the numbers. There’s no RTP, max win, volatility rating or grid, and no list of US states or casinos. We’ll add those as they become available.
