Gaming technology provider International Game Technology (IGT) has introduced the first omnichannel wide area progressive (WAP) jackpot in the US via a Wheel of Fortune slots link in New Jersey. The company notes that this will enable players in the Garden State to spin for large-scale wins on games with combined jackpot liquidity between the land-based, mobile and online versions of IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slots.
Players throughout New Jersey now have access to IGT’s new omnichannel WAP link online and on mobile devices on IGT PlayDigital’s Wheel of Fortune Triple Gold, Gold Spin slots, and in land-based casinos with IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slots games.
The link includes all Wheel of Fortune $1 games, spanning 18 unique themes across New Jersey casinos, and has a $500,000 jackpot reset value, among the highest values in the State.
Nick Khin, IGT Chief Operating Officer, Global Gaming, said: “IGT is thrilled to offer our customers in New Jersey the first omnichannel jackpot in the US as a means to engage players across platforms and offer another play-driving Wheel of Fortune slots jackpot.”
