International Game Technology is known for its collection of fun and exciting poker machines based on pop culture brands. Players enjoy IGT’s range of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune pokies, and now they can look forward to being able to wager on these titles for the next decade.
This week, IGT signed a new multi-year agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products which will allow the manufacturer to continue developing Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy pokies until 2024. The deal will see the company also create versions of these-land based pokies for the online gambling and social casino markets.
We are seeing a proliferation of branded slot games from modern brands, such as The Walking Dead, Avatar and X Factor – but there is still high demand for classic brands. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy have been staples in the entertainment industry for decades, so it is no wonder they have become such popular poker machine themes.
When while younger players are more interested in movie and video game branded pokies, game show poker machines are still hugely popular. Wheel of Fortune is one of IGT’s most popular brands. Since the company first started creating games based on the show, more than 200 different themes have been created. Triple Cash, Wild Gems, Dazzling Gems and Lucky 7s are just a few of the Wheel of Fortune themes for IGT pokies.
Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy pokies are also part of IGT’s MegaJackpots network. This jackpot network is recognized as one of the world’s most generous, awarding prizes worth $1 million regularly. It is not uncommon for the network to pay out jackpots worth $25 and higher. While the brands are well-established, this is still an exciting venture for IGT.
For the next ten years, International Game Technology can look forward to expanding its Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune games in the land-based, online and social gambling markets.
