International Game Technology PLC announced it recently introduced its much-anticipated Wheel of Fortune Video Poker game in the world’s most prolific video poker market, Las Vegas.

Guests of the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas became the first players in the world to enjoy IGT multi-hand video poker paired with the puzzle-solving, wheel-spinning fun of Wheel of Fortune via the new game.

“Becoming the first casino in the world to offer IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Video Poker was an exciting moment for Downtown Grand, and one that generated palpable buzz and significant play on our gaming floor,” said Rick Coltor, slots manager at the Downtown Grand. “For decades, our players have enjoyed IGT video poker and Wheel of Fortune slots, so combining the DNA of those two products to create something new is an exciting proposition for our players.”

Wheel of Fortune Video Poker is currently available on the CrystalCurve cabinet. The game incorporates the franchise’s famous puzzle-solving features and the iconic Wheel Bonus. The multi-hand poker game is available in triple-play, five-play and 10-play configurations and can award players 30,000, 50,000 or 100,000 credits, respectively, for a dealt royal flush.

Since the March 7 debut of the game, Wheel of Fortune Video Poker has been introduced at multiple casinos across Las Vegas, with deployments in additional markets planned for the future.
