"Concluding a successful, year-long 25-anniversary celebration of IGT's Wheel of Fortune Slots on the namesake game show during sweeps week represents the phenomenal entertainment value of IGT's partnership with Sony Pictures Television," said Jennifer Fales, IGT Vice President of Global Licensing. "Throughout the 'Big Money' Week, the game show producers artfully integrated the Wheel of Fortune slots games, while emphasizing their jackpot-paying legacy and giving contestants the opportunity to win big.
