Also, the Company will honour Wheel of Fortune Slots all year with new product launches for land-based and online play, and with special events at gaming industry trade shows.
“For 25 years, IGT has artfully captured the fun, excitement and authenticity of the Wheel of Fortune brand through its world-class Wheel of Fortune Slots portfolio. Wheel of Fortune Slots’ jackpot-paying legacy and capacity to entertain people across diverse generations, geographies and channels perfectly align with the global Wheel of Fortune brand. Sony Pictures Television wishes to thank IGT for so effectively extending the excitement of America’s Game to the most successful slot theme of all time,” Suzanne Prete, Sony Pictures Television SVP Global Licensing & Brand Management, said.
“It has always been an honor to work side-by-side with the talented team at IGT in developing content for its many Wheel of Fortune Slots games. When walking through casinos, I still marvel in the brilliance of the many Wheel of Fortune games and the excitement that the familiar siren of ‘WHEEL-OF-FORTUNE!’ creates,” Vanna White, Wheel of Fortune Hostess and Entertainment Icon, said.
“Wheel of Fortune Slots are a hallmark of IGT’s gaming, lottery and PlayDigital product portfolios and have transformed the entire gaming industry on the merit of tremendous performance, vast player affinity, colossal jackpots and quality entertainment. Through the skilled work of thousands of talented IGT employees around the world and our collaborative partnership with Sony Pictures Television, IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Slots has become a pop culture icon that has helped fuel our customers’ success for 25 years,” Renato Ascoli, IGT CEO Global Gaming, said.

FDJ Announces its First Bond Issue
La Française des Jeux (FDJ), one of Europe’s leading betting and gaming operators, will meet investors over the next days with a view to launching its first bond issue, subject to market conditions.
FDJ recall that, on 7 November, Moody’s assigned the Group a long-term credit rating of Baa1 – stable outlook.
With a total value of €1.5 billion, in 3 tranches with maturity of 6, 9 and 12 years, the bond issue would be used to refinance most of the €2 billion bridging loan, drawn on 7 October to finance the acquisition of Kindred shares for nearly €2.5 billion. The bonds will be listed on the Euronext regulated market in Paris.
Furthermore, FDJ is finalising a €400 million syndicated loan with top-tier French and international banks, which will be repaid over 5 years. This financing is also intended to repay the bridging loan which will be settled with Group’s cash.
