IGT to Introduce the Newest Wheel of Fortune® Games at G2E 2010

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT), a global leader in creating the major games that players love and the network systems that improve the player experience, will showcase the latest games to join the Wheel of Fortune® slots family at the 2010 Global Gaming Expo (G2E), Nov. 16–18 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The newest games include Wheel of Fortune® Triple Extreme Spin™, Wheel of Fortune® Triple Spin™ and Wheel of Fortune® Experience 2™.

"Since the Wheel of Fortune® slots family was launched in 1996, it has been named the top player favorite, year after year," said Ron Rivera, IGT senior vice president of North America sales. "Our newest Wheel of Fortune® games take this proven favorite to new levels of entertainment and excitement. And most important, each offers players what they love most—more chances to spin the wheel."

New at G2E this year is Wheel of Fortune® Triple Extreme Spin™. With a unique machine configuration, this game combines two slant top machines with a shared top box bonus device and a 32-inch LCD. This is the first Wheel of Fortune® game to showcase three physical spinning wheels in the top box. With special lighting effects in the top box and eye-catching Wheel of Fortune® gold trim around the wheels, this game will be a standout on casino floors. Featured on IGT's impressive Center Stage Series, the new Wheel of Fortune® Triple Spin™ game offers a three-game MultiPLAY interface. This MultiWay® game also has IGT's Rapid Reload™ feature which locks in symbols and re-spins the reels for bigger wins. Players love to spin the wheel, and with Wheel of Fortune® Triple Spin™, they have a chance to spin not just one wheel, but three wheels on the big overhead screen.

Also on the Center Stage Series is the new Wheel of Fortune® Experience 2™. This low-denomination game combines the excitement of interactive group play puzzle and wheel-spinning bonuses with the chance to win a life-changing jackpot. Featuring two high-frequency group bonus events where all eligible players share in the fun, Wheel of Fortune® Experience 2™ delivers the excitement of wheel spins and puzzle solving alongside great game play and strong branding.  

Since IGT launched the first Wheel of Fortune® game in 1996, more than $2.5 billion in jackpots have been won on Wheel of Fortune® slot machines. And slot players continually select Wheel of Fortune® as their favorite slot machine—with their favorite bonus feature—year after year. The most recent accolades for IGT's Wheel of Fortune® slots include four reader poll awards in the August issue of Casino Player magazine. The Wheel of Fortune® game was also named Best Reel Slot and Best Progressive Slot in Southern California Gaming Guide's "Best of Southern California Gaming Reader's Choice Awards" in October.
