Starting in 2009, to coincide with Season 27, that season's intro was used on the video monitors accompanying the machines. This time, only five players could be seated and the Wheel was vertical (albeit with a noticeable slant), similar to the Shopper's Bazaar Wheel. If a bonus was activated by more than one player, those players would use the same spin.īy 2007, a more compact version of the Super Spin was introduced. The following year, they made an enhanced version named Wheel of Fortune: Special Edition Super Spin, called such because it could seat nine players at a time and had a giant Wheel as the centerpiece.

In 2005, IGT released a Special Edition slots. The game was released with a 24-wedge Wheel, but had the same numeric values as IGT's Wheel the black 'Super Jackpot!' space was kept, although on some units it was red with white lettering. Their prototype's Wheel was the same as IGT's, but had a different color scheme based on the packaging layout from their 1995 Wheel game and also included a black 'Super Jackpot!' space in white letters just counterclockwise of $1,000. The same year, Tiger Electronics made a handheld Wheel of Fortune Slots game based on IGT's slot machine. This would become the basis of IGT's Wheel slot machines, which continue to use Charlie O'Donnell's voice even after his death in 2010. Winning combinations were not required to spin the Wheel. In order to spin the 22-wedge Wheel with values ranging from 20-1,000 credits, a SPIN symbol needed to appear on the payline. IGT made another slot machine, this time with a bonus Wheel at the top. In the five-slot game, three symbols needed to appear for the player to access the Bonus Round. IGT made their first Wheel slot machine using various elements based off of the show for bonuses, such as the Wheel and Bonus Round podium.
