Innovative Jackpot Integration for a Television Classic
For the first time in television history, a betting operator will sponsor a progressive jackpot, offering contestants a unique opportunity to win big. Participants solving the show’s Bonus Puzzle will have the chance not only to claim the usual prize but also to win an additional progressive jackpot. This exciting development will debut during the show’s “big money week,” scheduled to air from May 20-24.
BetMGM is honored to join Wheel of Fortune during this milestone week and be a part of a game show that has earned a place in American television history, remarked Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. “‘Big Money Week’ is a great collaboration, giving contestants and viewers at home the opportunity to experience the excitement of a progressive jackpot.”
During the episodes, a BetMGM-branded Double Jackpot wedge will be added to the wheel, giving contestants the chance to double their winnings if they succeed in the Bonus Round. Other BetMGM integrations will include the company’s logo on host Pat Sajak’s monitor, co-branded graphics on the center monitor, and a special BetMGM jackpot ticket displayed above the puzzle board.
BetMGM Expands Wheel of Fortune Experience with Online Casino
In March 2023, BetMGM launched the Wheel of Fortune Casino, the first brand-led online casino in North America, in collaboration with IGT, initially available in New Jersey. “We are thrilled to bring Wheel of Fortune Online Casino to players in New Jersey where they can now play for real money and experience the excitement of the beloved game show on their phones,” said Greenblatt during the launch.
Additionally, BetMGM introduced Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin last month, a unique slot game offering 720 ways to win, currently available in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ontario through BetMGM Casino, Borgata Online, and Wheel of Fortune Casino.
This partnership not only celebrates a significant milestone for Wheel of Fortune but also expands BetMGM’s innovative gaming offerings, further blending the excitement of casino gaming with the charm of one of America’s favorite game shows.
