BetMGM takes Wheel of Fortune Online Casino live in Ontario

BetMGM has launched a Wheel of Fortune-themed online casino in Ontario in partnership with IGT and Sony Pictures Television.

Players in the Canadian province can now play a number of Wheel of Fortune games on the platform, alongside more than 1,600 slots, progressive jackpots, and table games.

Ontario is the second market launch for the Wheel of Fortune Online Casino following its launch in New Jersey in March 2023.

“Bringing Wheel of Fortune Casino to Ontario is a part of our strategy to give players the games they love and create an engaging experience with an iconic game show. In collaboration with Sony Pictures Television and IGT, we’ve created something that is unlike anything else in the online gaming sector,” said BetMGM chief revenue officer Matt Prevost.

“Wheel of Fortune slots have been top-performing games for decades and through a successful launch in New Jersey, we’ve found that the brand-led Wheel of Fortune Casino product is a winning formula that resonates with players.”

Gil Rotem, president of IGT Digital, commented: “Ontario is a dynamic iGaming market that readily embraces omnichannel IGT PlayDigital games such as Wheel of Fortune slots.

“BetMGM’s brand-led Wheel of Fortune Casino packages many of IGT PlayDigital’s highest performing games in a great-looking, player-friendly manner that is unique for the Ontario iGaming market.”

Suzanne Prete, president of game shows at Sony Pictures Television, added: “It’s exciting to see BetMGM extend the success of the Wheel of Fortune Casino to Ontario.

“BetMGM’s Wheel of Fortune Casino creates an inviting space for players to enjoy all of their favorite IGT Wheel of Fortune games in one place and in a way that resonates with slot players and game show fans alike.”

Shares in MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) closed 2.94 per cent higher at $39.20 per share in New York Thursday following news of the launch, and the company's planned betting and iGaming venture in Brazil.
