Wheel Of Fortune 2006
Spun-off into a Saturday night program, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,' screening from 1990-1991.
Tony Barber was appointed host in July 1996, as part of a major re-vamp for the show, in an attempt to boost ratings and attract a younger audience. However, the plan backfired, ratings slumped, boycotting and hate-mail campaigns ensued. Tony 'resigned' at the end of that year (at least that's what the press releases said), and Rob Elliott became the new host at the start of the 1997 season. Adriana Xenides was absent for seven months (November 1996-June 1997, Tony's final month, and Rob's first shows) due to illness. Guest hostesses took the show through to the end of 1996. Until she returned in 1997, Kerrie Friend was guest hostess (amid speculation that she would gain the job permanently). Adriana undertook another indefintite sick leave period in 1999, with Sophie Falkiner filling in. Adriana officially resigned during this absence, and Sophie gained the job full-time.
As part of a revamp, including a move from the 5.30pm to 5pm timeslot and the inclusion of a new 'touch screen' letterboard, Rob Elliott was sacked in late 2003 and Steve Oemcke was appointed host (see articles below). Steve's stint as host lasted until the show was 'rested' in late 2004. The show began to air again in 2006 with new hosts, but this version only lasted for ~6 months

Premise
Three contestants take turns to spin a large roulette-style wheel containing spaces with varying amounts of money values. They then attempt to solve a word puzzle by guessing a letter that may be in it. Correct guesses result in the amount 'spun up' being added to the contestants' score. Incorrect ones terminate that contestant's control of the game, and play passes to the next one.The wheel also contains 'Bankrupt', 'Lose a Turn', 'Free Spin', and special prize spaces. Contestants who solve the puzzles are able to 'spend' their score in the prize shop.

The magic of the Las Vegas casinos is not that there you can win a lot of money. The magic is that how exactly you can win a lot of money. For example, you can bet on a roulette a million dollars for red and win a million dollars. Not bad, but you can bet one dollar on the slot and also win a million-dollar jackpot. Of course, jackpot odds are much lower. So, the more pleasant is the prize!
Another story with a huge jackpot hit in slots of Las Vegas. And not one story, but two at once! It became known that at once two players in different places played on the Wheel of Fortune slot and both hit the big jackpot. One of the lucky ones who played in the establishment of Arizona, Charlie's Decatur, bet a dollar and hit the jackpot in the amount of $1,670,000. Great luck! The second win happened at the casino Wynn Las Vegas on the famous boulevard, where the player bet 25 cents, got into the bonus game Triple Hot Ice and won $343,000.

A lot of money, by the way. And the casino owners are very happy for the players. Why? They do have to part with big money, don't they? No, they don't. Such huge winnings are the best advertising for casinos, and it does not matter, real slots or slots in online casinos. Big winnings news stimulates players to play even more, even more often. All are firmly convinced that if someone is lucky with a dollar bet, then they will be lucky too. It often happens: players are inspired by someone's success, they play more and quite unexpectedly win. It is well known that the overwhelming majority of jackpots are hit by beginners, but not by professional players who spend years at gaming tables and slots.
By the way, the progressive jackpot is very convenient for the casino advertising campaign. The matter is that the winning pool of the progressive jackpot for months and sometimes for years is formed by the players themselves by contributing a certain percentage from each of their bets and from each of their losses. So, in essence, the casino does not lose its money. The accumulated amount is redistributed from the pockets of millions of players into the pocket of the one. There is some poetic justice in this story!
