International Game Technology (IGT) and Graton Resort & Casino hosted the global premiere of the supplier’s Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins slot title, featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony and special player events.
“Graton Resort & Casino is proud to be the first casino in the world to offer IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins to players. Our guests expect exceptional gaming experiences, and this global premiere reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing them distinctive, first-to-market entertainment,” Graton Resort & Casino COO David Green said.
“By pairing one of the industry’s most recognized slot themes with engaging features and jackpot excitement, Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins delivers another compelling reason for guests to choose Graton.”
Magic Coins builds upon the supplier’s portfolio of Wheel of Fortune-branded titles, offering a multi-level progressive with five jackpot levels and three bonus features.
The special player events hosted by Graton Resort & Casino included Wheel of Fortune Slots giveaways and the opportunity to place four complimentary max-bet spins on Magic Coins for Graton Rewards members.
IGT SVP of Sales Dan Farnon also spoke on the inaugural launch, having said, “IGT is excited to team up with Graton Resort & Casino for the global premiere of Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins on the Rise55 cabinet, the newest addition to our Wheel of Fortune game family.
“For 30 years, Wheel of Fortune Slots has defined jackpot entertainment, awarding more than $3.6bn in jackpots. Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins advances that legacy with significant multiplier potential, dynamic bonus features and the familiar excitement that has made Wheel of Fortune Slots one of the industry’s most enduring slot brands.”
Prior to the launch of Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins, IGT appointed Jamie Knight as the supplier’s new Chief Studios Officer – effective January 1, 2027 – where she will replace Jean Venneman who intends to retire at the end of this year.
As Chief Studios Officer, Knight will be looked upon to establish clear priorities for IGT’s studio teams and drive innovation across game mechanics and mathematical modeling. Knight is also set to lead IGT’s continued studio investments and build on the “strong foundation” established by Venneman.
IGT appointed Adam Chibib as its new CFO on September 14 – set to go into effect on November 1 – where he will help advance the supplier’s ‘financial and operational transformation’
