Carnival Cruise Line and International Gaming Technology (IGT) have partnered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the IGT Wheel of Fortune slot machines, featured aboard all Carnival ships and in casinos worldwide.
Carnival and IGT will reward players with free cruises and giveaways throughout 2016. The brands are also partnering with Wheel of Fortune on a first-ever Carnival Cruise Line-themed week featuring an exciting viewer sweepstakes.
During 2016, Carnival and IGT’s partner casinos will give away hundreds of free cruises on Carnival Magic. The winners will participate in the onboard Spin N Sail slot tournament featuring the IGT Wheel of Fortune slot machines exclusively during an eight-day Caribbean cruise aboard Carnival Magic from Port Canaveral, FL, in November 2016. The $200,000 prize pool, provided by IGT, includes a $100,000 grand prize to be taken home by one lucky winner. IGT customers across the U.S. and Canada will host qualifying events where winning players are awarded a free cruise for two and an entry into the grand finale $200,000 tournament.
Throughout 2016, Carnival will also host a number of Wheel of Fortune-themed events across the fleet that will include special branded items and on-board activities and games every sailing, including the popular Wheel of Fortune scratch-off game where guests can win up to $30,000. Additionally, each sailing will feature a Wheel of Fortune prize wheel offering a wide range of prizes, everything from Carnival logo items and Casino Cash to entry into the $200,000 Spin N Sail slot tournament.
The 20th anniversary Wheel of Fortune slot festivities will also include a “Spin & Sail Week” with five Carnival Cruise Line-themed shows airing this spring on the game show that inspired the slot machine. “Spin & Sail Week” airing March 21-25, 2016, will feature a custom, tropical-themed set with high-definition Carnival ship images and footage. Contestants will be able to win Carnival cruises to a variety of destinations, including the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska.
In preparation for the broadcast, Pat Sajak, Vanna White and the Wheel of Fortune crew went on location to shoot customized segments aboard a Carnival Cruise Line ship.
