BetMGM Progressive Jackpot Featured on Wheel of Fortune Big Money Week

BetMGM, one of the biggest names in the US gambling space, which owns and operates brands like BetMGM Casino and BetMGM Poker, has joined forces with one of America’s greatest TV shows, Wheel of Fortune.

This week, the show is celebrating its 8,000th episode, and BetMGM will contribute to the celebration by adding a Nightly Progressive Jackpot. The jackpot will be added to a contestant’s prize if they successfully solve the Bonus Puzzle.

On top of this, the famous Wheel will have two special wedges added to it, featuring a chance to double the Progressive Jackpot and add the amount to lucky contestants’ total winnings.

News of the this first-of-its-kind sponsorship comes as Wheel of Fortune’s iconic host Pat Sajak prepares for his final appearance on the show in early June.

Taking Collaboration to the Next Level

This week marks a major milestone for the TV show that has managed to capture the hearts of millions of viewers all over the United States for 41 seasons.

“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,” said BetMGM’s CEO Adam Greenblatt. “'Big Money Week’ is a great collaboration, giving contestants and viewers at home the opportunity to experience the excitement of a progressive jackpot.”

Wheel of Fortune has been an inspiration for many slots and casino games for a long time, and these games have always attracted players with their familiar theme, soundtracks, and cut scenes.

Then, in 2023, BetMGM took things to a whole new level, partnering with the show to launch the very first Wheel of Fortune Casino in cooperation with IGT, a premier developer of casino games. The online casino stands out with a selection of WOF-branded slots and table games that aren’t available elsewhere.

The Big Money Week, running May 20 — 24, represents a perfect opportunity to enhance brand awareness and generously reward contestants and viewers in the process.

Added Excitement for the Audience

It’s not only the contestants on the show who’ll get to enjoy the boosted prizes during the big week. BetMGM will give viewers at home the opportunity to experience the excitement of Progressive Jackpots as well.

The audience can join the action by visiting the Wheel of Fortune website and registering to have a shot at the jackpot. All registered viewers will have a shot at the jackpot whether a contestant manages to solve the Bonus Puzzle or not. However, if a contestant lands a Double Bonus Wedge, the audience will have a shot at a double jackpot as well.

Wheel of Fortune is one of the highest-rated syndicated game shows in the United States. The show averages over nine million nightly viewers and 21.5 million unique views every week. With the Big Money Week celebrations and special jackpots added into the mix, these numbers will likely be much higher.

Residents of New Jersey can also register for a WOF casino account and enjoy some Wheel of Fortune-themed gambling action every day.

There is an entire section devoted to WOF games, so you’ll have no problems finding your way around the site. Try your luck with games like Wheel of Fortune Megaways, Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spins, or Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway, and enjoy a unique experience that you won’t get at any other online casino in the US.
