Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin Slots
So here's an absolute classic from the Vegas casino - the Wheel of Fortune. This is the Triple Extreme slot game, which is not the most abundant in Vegas (i.e. the 3 reel game), but you can still find it if you look around. Wheel of Fortune is massively popular in Vegas as well as in casinos all over the US.
The format of the game is different from a classic slot and much more similar to games like Siberian Storm, where the number of lines on each reel is different. As with all WoF games, it's the bonus we all love and this one (as the name suggest) gives you 3 spinning reels rather than the regular single spin.
It's a wonderful game and even better, we have a totally free version to enjoy. You can play here with no download required and no sign-up needed. Even better, we will not pester you for email address, or bombard you with pop-up advertisements!
Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme Spin is a 720-ways-to-win penny slot machine, powered by IGT. The unusual title is themed around the popular TV show, and it features the MultiWay Xtra game mechanics, which essentially means that punters can play with only 50 credits, that is, minimum $0.50 per spin.
The main symbols populating the reels are related to luxury, and include posh cars, yachts, and golden necklaces. Additionally, you will come across traditional fruity items, such as cherries, bananas, plums, oranges, and apples. In addition, the game boasts two Scatter symbols that trigger two different Bonus features.
The IGT release benefits from two Bonus features – Triple Extreme Spin Bonus and Mini Wheel Bonus.
Triple Extreme Spin Bonus feature is activated by hitting at least three Triple Wheel Scatters anywhere on the reels two, three, and four. Once in, you will be transported to another screen containing twelve envelopes, where you will be required to select the envelopes that will provide you with a pointer for the red, yellow, or blue wheel. Each of them has three pointers with any chosen pointers after the first three, awarding a cash prize. Players that don't receive a pointer for the blue or red wheels, will get the middle pointer on the red wheel. The maximum prize in this Bonus game is an astonishing 2,919x the bet.
Real Money Payouts
The average return to player (RTP) ranges between 92% and 96.08%, whereas the biggest potential win is 500,000 coins, when playing at the maximum stake available.
Wheel Of Fortune
Popular in New Zealand and Australia
If you play out of New Zealand or Australia, it is very likely that you'll find the Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme within the pokies department, while the UK, IGT-powered casinos will probably place it along with other popular fruit machines, featuring great bonuses, a wide array of betting options, as well as some hefty payouts.
Las Vegas Game
This Wheel of Fortune Triple Extreme slot machine game is available to play in most Las Vegas casinos, along with lots of other versions.
My personal favourite Wheel of Fortune is the classic 25c game, which has the perfect balance between offering a big jackpot and at the same time, not breaking the bank with it's 75 cent max bet (you have to max bet to win the jackpot. I am really hoping that one comes online soon, so I can play it for free.

Current information[edit]
This article makes no sense. Obviously Pat Sajak has been the host of what people know as the Wheel of Fortune for a very long time. If I were an alien I would have no idea of that reading this article. This makes it sound like he quit as the host in the 1980s. The caption for one of the pictures even says Sajak and White have hosted the syndicated version since 1983 yet there is no link to a page for the syndicated version. Which makes no sense because nobody give a sh** about any version of Wheel of Fortune that doesn't have Pat Sajak and Vanna White hosting it. So if the one currently airing is technically the syndicated one then this article should be ABOUT the syndicated show with whatever came on before being relegated to a footnote. Honestly, I think this is vandalism. Will somebody please fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.230.1.159 (talk) 04:49, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- This is hardly vandalism. The network daytime version (1975-1991) used to be the subject of a separate article which was merged into this one. Sajak left the daytime show in 1989 but has been on the nighttime version throughout its run. Yes, the current show is the syndicated one, as is made clear within the first few sentences of the article, and the overwhelming majority of the information in the article is about the current version. 32.179.50.207 (talk) 10:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
The show is still on the air. Need current host information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.56.32 (talk) 00:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- What do you mean? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:04, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- I confirm this confusion. The sidebar with all the host and producer information only gives host information for the network daytime show, which ended in '91. I came looking for a quick list of hosts and became half-convinced that the show had been only showing reruns since '91. Fortunately, I came to my senses, but had to dig into the article for information that is misleadingly missing from the sidebar. LordQwert (talk) 00:38, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- The 'Presented by' section is broken out into two sub-sections: Network and Syndicated, both in bold font, listing the on-air personalities associated with each version of the program. The section is not misleading nor is it incomplete. AldezD (talk) 01:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
- There is no separate syndicated section. It's confusing as can be. 2600:8805:5800:F500:A8CF:29D7:88F5:2A92 (talk) 23:19, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Why do I need a source!?[edit]
Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune began stereo broadcasting in 1984! ACMEWikiNet (talk) 19:51, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Can you prove it? 206.74.211.95 (talk) 20:05, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- I can't prove it. Stereo broadcasting was introduced in 1984. So, I say we use Stereo for (Syn/CBS). Mono for NBC versions. ACMEWikiNet (talk) 20:12, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- How do you know that stereo broadcasting was introduced in 1984, much less that the show adopted it then? If you can't source it, it's just an opinion which doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. And you're being so persistent in this that you're skating pretty close to another block. 67.197.213.222 (talk) 01:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- There are zero sources that say that Wheel of Fortune is in Stereo! Can we please revise the infobox and make sure it is 100% source? ACMEWikiNet (talk) 16:17, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

See also section[edit]
I didn't realize there were other things also called 'wheel of fortune', such as the Big Six wheel or the Wheel of Fortune (Tarot card) or Rota Fortunae. I thought these would be worth a link, but when I added Wheel of Fortune (disambiguation) that got reverted by User:AldezD. If any of these are the source of the name, they'd probably be worth a direct mention; otherwise, maybe 'See also' links? -- Beland (talk) 17:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- @User:Beland, please review MOS:SEEALSO for guidance. MOS states section purpose is to link to articles 'indirectly related to the topic' or 'to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics' and that 'The 'See also' section should not link…to disambiguation pages'. AldezD (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- @User:Beland, please stop creating a See also section and adding disambiguation links or links to other articles using the phrase 'wheel of fortune' that are not indirectly nor tangentially related to the topic of this page, the game show Wheel of Fortune. That is not the purpose of a See also section per the MOS linked above. AldezD (talk) 01:29, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @AldezD: I put those three items in a 'See also' section because I think they are tangentially related to the game show, in that they both share the same name and the concept of gaining or losing money. I'm actually wondering if Big Six wheel is the direct inspiration for the name of the show, but the fact that these three things existed before the show I think is interesting in that the idea didn't just come out of the blue. What do other editors think? -- Beland (talk) 01:43, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Beland:—A tarot card has nothing to do with a game show. The same goes for a medieval symbol. The Big Six wheel is not specifically mentioned in #Conception and development, but again, the gambling game associated with the Big Six wheel is not tangentially nor indirectly related to this game show. These items merely share the same name 'wheel of fortune'. The disambiguation page Wheel of Fortune adequately address these unrelated articles. AldezD (talk) 01:50, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @AldezD: I could see an argument for the tarot card that happen to have the same name and shares a more tenuous connection (but to me that's still an interesting connection.) Big six wheel shares a common game mechanic, though the wheel matches dice rather than assigning monetary value to letter guesses. The disambiguation page isn't linked from this article, so I don't see how it helps readers of this article learn about those things if they've arrived here from a search engine. -- Beland (talk) 02:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Beland:—Template:About addresses your argument. Add it as a hatnote to article if you'd like. AldezD (talk) 02:38, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @AldezD: That seems more appropriate for people who have arrived at the wrong article, rather than people who are merely interested in learning about tangentially related topics. -- Beland (talk) 02:40, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Beland:—Tarot cards and medieval symbols aren't tangentially related to a television game show. AldezD (talk) 03:11, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Since we disagree on that point, I'm curious what other editors think. -- Beland (talk) 03:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Third opinion request[edit]
A WP:3O request has been created for the above dispute. AldezD (talk) 03:22, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
| Response to third opinion request: |
Wheels and circles have had a symbolic importance in various civilizations throughout history and before (see Wheel#Symbolism for a short list), and we couldn't hope to include all of them in a see also section (in fact, we could hardly include even that subset concerned with fate and luck). Why? Because they're not even tangentially related, just vaguely so. Only one of the three proposed links is tangentially related - the 'Big Six wheel' is a game of a luck that uses a similar instrument - but as it's already mentioned in the disambiguation page there's no reason to include it here as well. The curious reader could browse through a {{hatnote}} template at the top of the article ({{about}} seems perfectly satifactory) and find all the other links, grouped together in one place for their enjoyment.François Robere (talk) 23:42, 25 January 2018 (UTC) |
Move discussion in progress[edit]

Erased or destroyed episodes.[edit]
I think some mention should be made about nearly all of Chuck Woolery's episodes having been erased or destroyed by NBC. That was an odd thing to do since TV networks around the world had mostly stopped erasing tapes for re-use by the mid 70's due to the falling cost of video tape and the potential of making more money from repeat broadcasts and other uses of archived shows.
