Wheel of Fortune Pinball Machine Overview
Stern released this game in October 2007 to celebrate the show’s 25th year. Dennis Nordman and Keith Johnson designed it, with Lonnie Ropp on mechanics. It uses Stern’s S.A.M. electronics and a dot-matrix display.
The game plays like the TV show. You start by spinning the wheel on the playfield to build points and prizes in your Prize Bank. Then you hit the three bobblehead contestants to collect consonants and vowels. Solve the puzzle on the display to collect your prizes. The bobbleheads are based on real Stern staff.
The layout is not standard. Two rollover lanes sit between the flippers, and each outlane is split in two. Lit lanes can give you a Super Spin or a free spin.
