BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, will celebrate Wheel of Fortune’s 8000th episode during the legendary game show’s “Big Money Week” scheduled to air May 20-24. For the first time in the history of the wildly successful syndicated game show, there will be a Nightly Progressive Jackpot sponsored by BetMGM that will be added to whatever a contestant wins if they solve the show’s Bonus Puzzle.
During game play, there will also be a BetMGM-branded “Double Jackpot” wedge on the famous Wheel giving contestants who earn the opportunity to add double the Nightly Progressive Jackpot to their total if they win the Bonus Round.
“BetMGM is honored to join Wheel of Fortune during this milestone week and be a part of a game show that has earned a place in American television history. ‘Big Money Week’ is a great collaboration, giving contestants and viewers at home the opportunity to experience the excitement of a progressive jackpot,” said BetMGM’s CEO Adam Greenblatt.
Sony Pictures Television and BetMGM have come together to integrate BetMGM branding into Wheel of Fortune’s “Big Money Week” featuring on-set placements including:
Co-branded graphics displayed in the center monitor
In-show displays of BetMGM’s logo on host Pat Sajak’s monitor

A BetMGM jackpot ticker appearing above the puzzle board during each episode.
