The Sonoma County casino becomes the first worldwide to offer IGT’s new five-level progressive slot on the RISE55 cabinet
Graton Resort & Casino has given its guests the first opportunity to play Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins, the latest premium title in IGT’s long-running Wheel of Fortune Slots portfolio.
The Northern California property marked the global premiere with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and an event for invited Graton Rewards members. Participants received themed giveaways and four complimentary maximum-bet spins on the new game.
Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins is presented on IGT’s RISE55 cabinet, which features a large portrait display designed for premium casino-floor installations.
Five jackpot levels and three bonus features
The multi-level progressive slot offers five jackpot levels and three bonus features. Its gameplay combines collectible coins, wheel-based prizes and multiplier opportunities.
During the Jackpot Bonus, players can receive multipliers of up to 9X. The Lock & Respin Bonus introduces jackpot coins, wheel symbols and randomly awarded multipliers, extending the feature as qualifying symbols appear.
The title combines these mechanics with the familiar imagery and presentation of Wheel of Fortune, a brand that has remained part of IGT’s premium slot portfolio for three decades.
David Green, Chief Operating Officer of Graton Resort & Casino, said:
“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. By pairing one of the industry’s most recognised slot themes with engaging features and jackpot excitement, Wheel of Fortune Magic Coins delivers another compelling reason for guests to choose Graton.”
IGT extends a 30-year slot franchise
IGT said its Wheel of Fortune Slots games have awarded more than US$3.6 billion in jackpots during the franchise’s 30-year history.
Magic Coins is the latest addition to the collection and introduces new multiplier and bonus mechanics while retaining the wheel-based presentation associated with the television programme.
Dan Farnon, IGT Senior Vice President of Sales for the US, 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 US$3.6 billion 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.”
Graton Resort & Casino is owned and operated by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. The Sonoma County resort recently expanded its gaming and hospitality facilities with a smoke-free district containing additional dining and entertainment venues.
