International Game Technology has announced that its Wheel of Fortune-branded video poker will be available at the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
“Becoming the first casino in the world to offer IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Video Poker was an exciting moment for Downtown Grand and one that generated palpable buzz and significant play on our gaming floor,” Rick Coltor, Slots Manager at the Downtown Grand Las Vegas, said in a statement. “For decades, our players have enjoyed IGT video poker and Wheel of Fortune slots, so combining the DNA of those two products to create something new is an exciting proposition for our players.”
The Wheel of Fortune Video Poker will be featured on the CrystalCurve cabinet, with branding reminiscent of the original show that players at the Downtown Grand Casino would be able to enjoy. This includes various puzzle-solving features and a Wheel Bonus.
The game will be available in triple-play, five-play and 10-play configurations, and players can win between 30,000 and 100,000 credits when dealt a royal flush.
“Launching IGT Wheel of Fortune Video Poker in Las Vegas, the world’s largest video poker market, marked another important milestone in the rollout of our expanded Wheel of Fortune games portfolio,” Nick Khin, IGT President, Global Gaming, said in a statement. “Our Wheel of Fortune Video Poker game delivers an ideal blend of proven multi-hand poker, jackpot excitement and the signature elements of Wheel of Fortune games that have propelled the theme’s success for more than 25 years.”
