LAS VEGAS, NV and SEATTLE, WA – June 29, 2015 – International Game Technology
PLC’s (“IGT”) (NYSE:IGT) DoubleDown Casino® social gaming website continues its
social gaming revolution with today’s launch of the Wheel of Fortune Red, White and
Blue® game for desktop and mobile devices.
In this fifth Wheel of Fortune theme to launch on the DoubleDown Casino app, players
experience a 3-reel, 5-pay line configuration reminiscent of the classic “stepper” style slot
machines. With every spin, the Wheel of Fortune Red, White and Blue game can hit the
Wheel Bonus, which lets players spin the Wheel to win up to 2000x the value of their
virtual wagers.
“A longtime hit on casino floors, Wheel of Fortune Red, White and Blue represents the
ideal mix of an Independence Day-themed design and the classic three-reel slot play that
DoubleDown Casino players love,” said Jim Veevaert, DoubleDown Interactive Vice
President of Games. “We’re having a blast continuing the legacy of Wheel of Fortune by
delivering America’s favorite slot machine to players throughout the world on desktop and
mobile devices.”
More Wheel of Fortune titles are currently in development for the DoubleDown Casino
app, as part of IGT’s agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products through 2024.
IGT launched the Wheel of Fortune slot machine for land-based casinos in 1996 and
solidified the Company’s leadership in Wide Area Progressive technology. Known as the
most successful slot title of all time, the fan-favorite theme has minted nearly 1,000
millionaires and delivered over $3 billion in jackpots throughout its illustrious history. IGT
has created more than 200 variations of the game that can be found on casino floors in
more than 20 countries worldwide.
