IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin electronic table game has debuted at the Downtown Grand Casino in Las Vegas.
IGT said the standalone ETG includes many of the attributes that have propelled the success of the Wheel of Fortune slot franchise for nearly three decades, including word puzzles, wheel spins, and jackpots. The game is accompanied by a nine-plus-foot upright video wheel that stands independent of the ETG terminals and entertains casino guests with the “WHEEL OF FORTUNE!” chant.
“Our guests instantly connected with the Wheel of Fortune brand and are eager to try their favorite slot brand in a new format,” said Paul Phillips, Downtown Grand’s director of casino operations. “The stature and appeal of the game’s accompanying Big Wheel are inspiring a wide range of players to give the new game a try.”
IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin game is on the company’s GameAce ETG and features an intuitive game-play design. To make a wager, players select a color-coded bet amount that corresponds with the colored wedges on the game’s digital wheel. Players win when their wager matches the spin outcome, filling in letters in the game’s iconic puzzle board. The game’s Fortune Spin and Jackpot bonuses activate the solution’s large physical wheel, delivering a highly visible and recognizable win celebration on the gaming floor.
“The successful launch of Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin at Downtown Grand speaks to the excitement that we can bring to a gaming floor, the universal appeal of the Wheel of Fortune brand, and IGT’s commitment to delivering game-changing innovation,” said Nick Khin, IGT CEO of gaming.
