BetMGM Celebrates Wheel of Fortune’s 8,000th Episode with Progressive Jackpot Sponsorship

Innovative Jackpot Integration for a Television Classic

For the first time in television history, a betting operator will sponsor a progressive jackpot, offering contestants a unique opportunity to win big. Participants solving the show’s Bonus Puzzle will have the chance not only to claim the usual prize but also to win an additional progressive jackpot. This exciting development will debut during the show’s “big money week,” scheduled to air from May 20-24.

BetMGM is honored to join Wheel of Fortune during this milestone week and be a part of a game show that has earned a place in American television history, remarked Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM. “‘Big Money Week’ is a great collaboration, giving contestants and viewers at home the opportunity to experience the excitement of a progressive jackpot.”

During the episodes, a BetMGM-branded Double Jackpot wedge will be added to the wheel, giving contestants the chance to double their winnings if they succeed in the Bonus Round. Other BetMGM integrations will include the company’s logo on host Pat Sajak’s monitor, co-branded graphics on the center monitor, and a special BetMGM jackpot ticket displayed above the puzzle board.
