IGT has introduced its newest electronic table game, Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin, with a global debut at Downtown Grand Casino in Las Vegas. The launch expands the reach of one of the most recognizable brands in gaming and reflects the company’s ongoing investment in electronic table game technology.
The Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin combines elements of the long-running television game show with casino-style play. At the center of the experience is a video version of the iconic wheel, standing more than nine feet tall and separate from player terminals. The display, paired with the well-known Wheel of Fortune chant, is designed to capture attention across the casino floor.
Guests at Downtown Grand were among the first to try the new game. According to casino management, the title immediately drew interest from players who were already familiar with Wheel of Fortune slot machines. The addition of the Big Money Spin format provides them with a new way to engage with the brand while maintaining recognizable features.
Nick Khin, IGT’s chief operating officer of gaming, said the debut highlights the company’s ability to merge entertainment with innovation. He noted that the title builds on the success of previous platforms such as GameAce Roulette and Mesa4K terminals, which have gained traction in North American casinos.
The gameplay for Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin is managed through IGT’s GameAce electronic table platform. Participants place bets on color-coded segments that correspond to the digital wheel. A win occurs when the chosen segment aligns with the outcome of the spin, adding letters to a virtual puzzle board reminiscent of the television show.
Two bonus features further enhance the experience. The Fortune Spin Bonus and Jackpot Bonus both trigger interaction with the oversized physical wheel, adding a dramatic element when activated. These bonuses are designed to deliver celebratory moments that elevate the traditional table game experience.
The introduction of Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin reinforces the enduring popularity of the Wheel of Fortune brand, which has already established itself as one of the most successful slot franchises in casino history. By extending the franchise into electronic table games, IGT is aiming to broaden its audience and give casinos a distinctive product to showcase on their floors.
