International Game Technologies (NYSE: IGT) Wheel of Fortune slot machine, is probably the most successful slot machine theme ever developed, and the bread-and-butter machine of their fleet of one-armed bandits.

The Wheel of Fortune machine is a nine-line, 45-coin (bets up to five coins per line) machine resembling the popular TV game show, with the primary symbols on the reels being your traditional fruit symbols and prize images from the television show, like a car, diamond necklace, etc.

The wheel resembles the original Wheel of Fortune, minus the "LOSE A TURN."

Payback percentages range from 89-94% (depending on your gaming jurisdiction), with the average hit frequency of 50%, i.e. a hit of some kind every other spin.

The bonus wheel is divided into 22 compartments, and your chances of getting a bonus spin is, on average, once in every 42 plays.

Based on its payback, I wouldn't call the Wheel of Fortune a sound casino play. Predictably, Quinn, I tend to recommend wagers that have less than a two percent house advantage. However, as for fun factor, well, suffice it to say that Yours Truly has been known to pump some pocket change in the machine.
