California's Yaamava’ Resort & Casino celebrated the 30th anniversary of IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Slots with a player event featuring Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White.

The event concluded a multi-week promotion tied to the casino’s debut of IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Cash on Reels Slots, a multi-level progressive game on IGT’s RISE55 cabinet, and rewarded members of the Club Serrano loyalty program.

Guests gathered on the casino floor as White greeted players, posed for photos, and conducted prize drawings that awarded five attendees $1,000 in free slot play. She also surprised three additional Club Serrano members during a hot-seat promotion, giving them $1,000 in free play and a chance to win $5,000 in cash.

"For three decades, I've really enjoyed surprising people playing IGT's Wheel of Fortune Slots of all kinds and wishing them luck," said White. "Celebrating the 30th anniversary of IGT's Wheel of Fortune Slots with Yaamava' Resort & Casino was the perfect way to kick off a year full of excitement. Stay tuned for more to come!"

Dan Farnon, IGT vice president of Western Region sales, said the event demonstrated the strong appeal of the Wheel of Fortune brand and the new game launch. "IGT's Wheel of Fortune Slots have become a casino icon, and we look forward to celebrating and propelling that legacy in 2026 with exciting new games and engaging promotions with our customers," he added.

IGT recently announced a year-long Wheel of Fortune Slots 30th Anniversary campaign that includes new products, nationwide casino events, contests, a “Spin and Sail Cruise”, and special integrations on Wheel of Fortune. Updates are available at IGTJackpots.com/WheelofFortune.
