LAS VEGAS and SEATTLE, June 29,
2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology
PLC's ("IGT") (NYSE:IGT) DoubleDown Casino® social gaming website
continues its social gaming revolution with today's launch of the
Wheel of Fortune Red, White and Blue® game for desktop and
mobile devices.
In this fifth Wheel of Fortune theme to launch on the
DoubleDown Casino app, players experience a 3-reel, 5-pay
line configuration reminiscent of the classic "stepper" style slot

and Blue game can hit the Wheel Bonus, which lets players spin
the Wheel to win up to 2000x the value of their virtual

"A longtime hit on casino floors, Wheel of Fortune Red, White
and Blue represents the ideal mix of an Independence Day-themed design and the classic
three-reel slot play that DoubleDown Casino players love,"
said Jim Veevaert, DoubleDown
Interactive Vice President of Games. "We're having a blast
continuing the legacy of Wheel of Fortune by delivering America's
favorite slot machine to players throughout the world on desktop
and mobile devices."
More Wheel of Fortune titles are currently in development for
the DoubleDown Casino app, as part of IGT's agreement with
Sony Pictures Consumer Products through 2024.
IGT launched the Wheel of Fortune slot machine for land-based
casinos in 1996 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 over $3
