“Wheel of Fortune” (Sony Pictures Television) is more than a game show – it’s a cultural phenomenon. Few other shows have achieved its level of consistent success over decades.
Though players are already familiar with the library of “Wheel of Fortune” games on BetMGM Casino – including the BetMGM Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin game – the two brands are taking it a step further with BetMGM Big Money Week on “Wheel of Fortune.” This very special week on the show airs May 20-24 and will feature multiple BetMGM touchpoints – namely that BetMGM is sponsoring a special Nightly Progressive Jackpot, available during each of the week’s episodes. Big Money Week is a great time for BetMGM Casino players to try their luck spinning the Wheel themselves.
Wheel of Fortune Progressive Jackpot Offers Contestants (and Viewers) a Chance to Win Big
BetMGM commemorates the 8,000th episode of “Wheel of Fortune” with several integrations into the broadcasts during Big Money Week. The celebration is truly worthy of the most successful syndicated television program ever, which averages over 9 million viewers per episode.
For the first time in the nearly 50-year history of the iconic show, the game will feature a Nightly Progressive Jackpot, sponsored by BetMGM. The jackpot, which starts at $8,000 as a nod to the 8,000th episode, increases in value each time a contestant spins the Wheel. There will be a BetMGM-branded Double Jackpot wedge on the famous Wheel. Contestants who go to the Bonus Round will then have a chance to win the jackpot if they solve the show’s Bonus Puzzle. That jackpot will be awarded to them in addition to the envelope prize they chose before the Bonus Round.
A special BetMGM ticker display will track the jackpot’s value during each episode. In addition, host Pat Sajak’s monitor will feature the BetMGM logo, as will the game’s center monitor.

To kick off Big Money Week on May 20, BetMGM is offering players five free spins or $5 on the Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway or Wheel of Fortune Triple Gold Gold Spin slot game, depending on the player’s legal state.
