IGT has announced a new multi-year agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products to deliver the most popular slot machine theme of all time, Wheel of Fortune, to players around the world.
As part of the agreement, IGT will also develop Wheel of Fortune mobile and online games for its DoubleDown Casino and for-wager online play worldwide until 2024.
Since IGT launched the first Wheel of Fortune slot machine, more than 200 Wheel of Fortune slot machine themes have been introduced around the world including the latest releases, Triple Cash, Lucky 7s and Wild Gems.
As part of this agreement, IGT has also licensed the Jeopardy! brand, including game development for slot machines and online games for its DoubleDown Casino and for-wager online play. The game’s appearance on IGT’s DoubleDown Casino will mark the first time that Jeopardy! will be available on an online social casino in the US.
Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! are part of IGT’s MegaJackpots wide-area progressive product line, which has produced thousands of winners with jackpots ranging from $1m to the world-record slot jackpot of more than $39m.
