International Game Technology PLC (IGT) will unveil its first-ever omnichannel Wheel of Fortune linked progressive for the US at SBC Summit North America 2021, November 30 – December 2, at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey.

The technology will join additional IGT igaming and sports betting products in the company’s booth 501.

IGT will connect its digital Wheel of Fortune Gold Spin Triple Gold game with all land-based Wheel of Fortune $1 wide-area progressives for the first time in the US, sharing the entire wide-area progressive jackpot liquidity among New Jersey’s land and online casinos, giving players additional choice and convenience for how they play Wheel of Fortune games.

The technology will also provide players in the Garden State the chance to play for the same large-scale Wheel of Fortune jackpots across all three gaming channels: land-based, mobile and online.

Enrico Drago, IGT CEO Digital & Betting, commented: “IGT is once again breaking barriers in the digital gaming space with the soon-to-launch US omnichannel Wheel of Fortune linked progressive.

“We are combining proven technology with the most successful slot brand of all time to create a powerful jackpot liquidity pool that engages players and delivers life-changing wins for New Jersey residents playing across channels. SBC Summit attendees will be among the first in the US to see how the technology works.”

IGT will also be showing Fortune Coin Boost!, a sequel to its Fortune Coin digital game, as well as other PlayCasino games including Great Bear and MegaJackpots Elephant King.

IGT PlaySports will showcase its new CrystalFlex and PeakBarTop Flex cabinets and multigame software offer, including Game King X content, and enable players to watch their favorite sports, place sports wagers, enjoy slots, and play video poker and keno all on the same gaming machine, using the same on-machine funds.

The firm will also feature the capabilities of its trading advisory services team, demonstrate cashless wagering on its PlaySports Kiosk and highlight why it’s the most widely used B2B sports betting solution in the US.
