Wheel of Fortune

August 5, 2012

GSN Digital, the operators of the Facebook hosted GSN Casino and the GSN Mobile Application, has just announced a licensing deal with Sony Pictures to bring the Wheel of Fortune TV show to online slots fans. Initially the Wheel of Fortune video slot will be available upon the companies flagship Facebook casino.

Wheel of Fortune is one of the most popular TV shows in history, and is aired in locally produced versions in many countries around the world. In many ways, Wheel of Fortune defined the modern concept of a high rolling game show. So it makes sense that this veritable grandaddy of game shows should be used as the basis of a theme for a video slot, it is screaming out for it. So it really is no surprise that Sony Pictures finally granted a full license to produce an Wheel of Fortune online slot to GSN (Game Show Network). Actually, the original Wheel of Fortune online slot was released by GSN on their Facebook casino at the end of last year, but it is only now that the actual license for the game has been officially given by Sony Pictures, which seems a little bit of an odd way of doing things to us. Since its launch at the end of last year Wheel of Fortune has been spin almost 600 million times, and this figure is sure to rise dramatically now that GSN is free to promote this new video slot in lei of receiving a legal license for use of the Wheel of Fortune brand.

Peter Blacklow of GSN tells us that, "Wheel of Fortune is one of America's most iconic television game shows, and we're excited to offer the brand to our mobile casino fans. Through our partnership with Sony, we hope to drive a whole new wave of GSN players, as well as extend our mobile offering to the millions of players we entertain every day on GSN.com and on Facebook."
