LAS VEGAS and SEATTLE, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology PLC's ("IGT") (NYSE:IGT) DoubleDown Casino® social gaming website continues its social gaming revolution with today's launch of the Wheel of Fortune Red, White and Blue® game for desktop and mobile devices.

In this fifth Wheel of Fortune theme to launch on the DoubleDown Casino app, players experience a 3-reel, 5-pay line configuration reminiscent of the classic "stepper" style slot machines.

"A longtime hit on casino floors, Wheel of Fortune Red, White and Blue represents the ideal mix of an Independence Day-themed design and the classic three-reel slot play that DoubleDown Casino players love," said Jim Veevaert, DoubleDown Interactive Vice President of Games. "We're having a blast continuing the legacy of Wheel of Fortune by delivering America's favorite slot machine to players throughout the world on desktop and mobile devices."

More Wheel of Fortune titles are currently in development for the DoubleDown Casino app, as part of IGT's agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products through 2024.

IGT launched the Wheel of Fortune slot machine for land-based casinos in 1996 and solidified the Company's leadership in Wide Area Progressive technology. Known as the most successful slot title of all time, the fan-favorite theme has minted nearly 1,000 millionaires and delivered over $3 billion in jackpots throughout its illustrious history.
