Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin introduces exciting new bonuses and gameplay straight from the casino floor to a desktop or mobile device. Players can spin for the Mini Wheel Bonus, where scatter symbols transform into three mini wheels that spin simultaneously, or the Triple Extreme Bonus, where the player picks from a selection of envelopes to reveal chances to win big when the giant triple wheels are sent spinning.

"DoubleDown Casino players have shown that they love playing Wheel of Fortune Double Diamond, so we're very excited to follow up with the launch of Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin. Nothing says casino slot play excitement quite like Wheel of Fortune, and DoubleDown Casino brings the authentic experience to desktop and mobile devices so our players can play anytime, anywhere," said Will Daugherty, Senior Vice President and General Manager of DoubleDown Interactive.

More Wheel of Fortune titles are currently in development for DoubleDown Casino, as part of IGT's multi-year agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products to develop mobile and online games for DoubleDown Casino and for-wager online play worldwide through 2024.

In 1996, IGT launched the Wheel of Fortune slot machine and solidified the Company's leadership in Wide Area Progressive technology. Known as the most successful slot title of all time, the fan-favorite theme has minted nearly 1,000 millionaires and delivered $3 billion in jackpots throughout its illustrious history. IGT has created more than 200 variations of the game that can be found on casino floors in more than 20 countries worldwide.
