IGT Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin Electronic Table Game Makes Global Debut in Las Vegas
Downtown Grand Casino becomes first casino in the world to have electronic table games players chanting "WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE!"
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IGT announced today that its much-anticipated Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin electronic table game ("ETG") recently made its world debut at Downtown Grand Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. The vibrant standalone ETG game includes many of the attributes that have propelled the success of the Wheel of Fortune slots franchise for nearly three decades including word puzzles, wheel spins and exciting jackpot rewards. The game is accompanied by an attention-grabbing, 9-plus-feet upright video wheel that stands independent of the ETG terminals and entertains casino guests with the famous "WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE!" chant.
"Downtown Grand was delighted to have the world premiere of IGT's Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin ETG solution on our gaming floor," said Paul Phillips, Downtown Grand Las Vegas, Director of Casino Operations. "Our guests instantly connected with the Wheel of Fortune brand and are eager to try their favorite slots brand in a new format. The stature and appeal of game's accompanying 'Big Wheel' is inspiring a wide range of players to give the new game a try."
"Building on the continued success of IGT's GameAce Roulette and Mesa4K terminals across North America, we are thrilled to introduce Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin to ETG players," said Nick Khin, IGT CEO, Gaming. "The successful launch of Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin at Downtown Grand Casino 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."
IGT's Wheel of Fortune Big Money Spin game is enjoyed on the Company's GameAce ETG offering and features an intuitive gameplay design. To make a wager, players select a color-coded bet amount that corresponds with the colored wedges on the game's digital Wheel of Fortune wheel. Players win when their wager matches the digital spin outcome, filling in letters in the game's iconic puzzle board. The game's Fortune Spin Bonus and Jackpot Bonus activate the solution's large physical wheel, delivering a highly visible and recognizable win celebration on the gaming floor.
