IGT has celebrated the 30th anniversary of its iconic Wheel of Fortune Slots game, commemorating three decades since this beloved title was first launched in casinos. Renowned for its jackpots exceeding $1 million and the catchy “WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE” chant, this game has become a staple in the gaming industry.

Recognized as the gaming sector’s pioneering licensed slots game, it has significantly shaped the modern casino landscape.

To mark this significant milestone, IGT has initiated a multi-month celebration, featuring product launches, nationwide in-casino festivities, social media contests on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, collaborations with slots influencers, a fresh creative campaign, and an integration week highlighting the “Wheel of Fortune.”

“Over the past three decades, players globally have been drawn to IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Slots, earning a reputation for unparalleled entertainment and substantial jackpots both on-site and online,” stated Hector Fernandez, Incoming CEO of IGT.

“Through our partnership with Sony Pictures Television and Carnival Cruise Line, IGT has developed a comprehensive campaign for 2026 that celebrates the legacy of Wheel of Fortune Slots, while also rewarding players and providing value to our clients across the globe.”

A standout feature of the celebration is the IGT “Spin and Sail Cruise.” In collaboration with Carnival Cruise Line, this initiative allows select casinos across the U.S. to offer players the chance to win eight-day cruises aboard the Carnival Jubilee, where they can participate in a slot tournament boasting a $1 million prize pool.

Players can also enter to win a spot on the November Spin and Sail Cruise through contests held on the IGT Jackpots Facebook page and the IGT Gaming North America Instagram account.

“Our enduring partnership with IGT has yielded remarkable success, and we are excited to build upon that as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Slots,” said Suzanne Prete, President of Game Shows at Sony Pictures Television.

“Similar to our Wheel of Fortune game show, IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Slots stands as a category leader that appeals to a broad audience, and we appreciate IGT’s ongoing dedication to this franchise.”

IGT holds the exclusive rights to the Wheel of Fortune brand across gaming, lottery, iGaming, and iLottery, and possesses non-exclusive rights to distribute Wheel of Fortune content for free-to-play social casinos through Sony Pictures Television, the owner and producer of the long-running television show.
