Pictured is IGT's new Wheel of Fortune slot machine.
The TV game show of 38 years running, "Wheel of Fortune," bills itself as “America’s Game”. The same can arguably be said about the slot machines which are branded with its name and have been a mainstay in casinos around the world for decades.
Developed by International Game Technology (IGT) in many formats and platforms through the years, Wheel of Fortune slots will soon be appearing in the company’s new PeakSlant49 Wheel cabinet, comprising state of the art technology and eye popping visual and audio components.
The striking new cabinet drew rave reviews with its launch in the Wheel of Fortune Mystery Link game at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut.
The new hardware, standing nearly nine-feet tall, was specifically designed to accommodate IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slot franchise. It’ll be hard to miss on the casino floor with its dynamic video wheel and 49-inch curved ultra-HD touchscreen display.
Players will be intrigued with a performance-driven panel that includes a 13.3-inch multi-touch display, bash button and ergonomic design.
The cabinet’s initial launch with the Wheel of Fortune Mystery Link slot was installed with the popular Lucky Lotus and Enchanted Blossoms as the base theme games. Available in multi-denominational formats, the game is highlighted by the Mystery Link feature which is the portal to four progressive jackpots as well as the re-spin mechanic.
“IGT’s PeakSlant49 Wheel cabinet was uniquely designed for Wheel of Fortune slots content and its trademark, anticipation-driving entertainment that players have grown to love,” said Nick Khin, chief operating officer of gaming for IGT.
The new cabinet is capable of being equipped with Bluetooth to enable casino operators to integrate the systems with IGT’s cashless gaming systems technology, Resort Wallet, which is being utilized at Blue Chip Casino, Hotel, & Spa in Michigan City.
