Online casino BetMGM recently debuted the newest slot game, Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin, from software vendor IGT in the Great Lakes State. The game is unique in that it contains BetMGM branding and offers up to 720 ways to win in tandem with several intriguing bonus features. As the title implies, the slot is inspired by the legendary game show Wheel of Fortune, which has recorded 41 seasons so far.

However, this is not the first casino game based on the renowned game show. Over the past two decades, there have been dozens of Wheel of Fortune-themed games designed by various developers. Yet, Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spins is the first brand-led online casino version of the game show to appear in the North American iGaming market.

Aside from the debut in the Michigan online casino app, BetMGM is making the game available in its remaining North American markets and is also distributing it via its sister platforms Borgata Casino and Wheel of Fortune Casino.

In the official press release for the game’s launch, vice president of gaming at BetMGM, Oliver Bartlett, said that the slots are brimming with exciting visuals and offer players thrilling gameplay. According to Bartlett, this exclusive slot will improve BetMGM’s continued partnership with Wheel of Fortune and game studio IGT.

One of The Most Successful Slot Brands of All Time

Software vendor IGT has secured a 10 year licensing agreement with Sony Pictures Television, allowing the developer exclusive use of the Wheel of Fortune brand. This new 5-reel online slot game is geared toward novice and seasoned players. The game possesses elements of a classic fruit machine but is re-designed to appear more modern while retaining its retro vibe.

There are colorfully represented symbols, with the higher value symbols depicted by luxury items such as a yacht, sports cars, and necklaces. On the other hand, various fruits depict low-value symbols. The max payout is 10,000 the stake amount. Aside from the 2 bonus symbols, Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin is full of bonus features such as the Mini Wheel Bonus, and the Triple Extreme Spin Bonus.

The president of IGT, Gil Rotem, emphasized in the press release that this game incorporates the big-jackpot potential and Wheel of Fortune gameplay. According to Rotem, the development of a custom version of Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin for BetMGM represents an exciting new chapter in IGT and BetMGM’s partnership.

BetMGM Recruits New Developers 

BetMGM is one of the prominent Michigan casinos online, active in the Wolverine State since 2021. This operator offers over 1,500 games, competitive no deposits bonus Michigan deals, and an exclusive jackpot network. In March, FanDuel challenged BetMGM’s leadership status in Michigan, and BetMGM responded to losing the throne in the Great Lakes State iGaming market to bolster its catalog of games.

In the previous two months, BetMGM recruited developers Boldplay and GameCode to enhance its lobby. Another valuable resource is GameSense, granting players access to responsible gaming tools.
