Guests at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Highland, California, became the first players in the world to experience IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels video slots game on the RISE55 cabinet.
IGT announced the debut on Wednesday, saying the launch gave Yaamava’ the first public play of the title worldwide.
“The global premiere of Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels Slots at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino was a spectacular event that inspired significant player interest and engagement,” said Dan Farnon, IGT Vice President of Western Region Sales. “IGT is constantly evolving its Wheel of Fortune slots offering with innovative content that integrates player-preferred mechanics, and we are confident Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels on the RISE55 cabinet will help drive play for our customers.”
The company positioned it within its Wheel of Fortune-branded slots lineup.
“We are honored to debut Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels with IGT,” said Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel. “This world premiere reflects our shared vision of innovation and delivering world-class experiences to our guests.”
The debut follows IGT’s continued rollout of Wheel of Fortune content across gaming formats. In October 2025, IGT introduced Wheel of Fortune slots to the video lottery terminal (VLT) segment, launching in Illinois through a partnership with operator Gold Rush Gaming, using the RISE55 cabinet.
IGT has also pointed to recent jackpot activity tied to the Wheel of Fortune franchise. The company said its Wheel of Fortune-branded slot machines awarded three jackpots worth more than $1 million each in July last year.
Since their launch in 1996, Wheel of Fortune slots have produced more than 1,200 millionaires and awarded over $3.6 billion in jackpots.
