Lawsuit claims IGT Wheel of Fortune slots like rigged roulette

The well-known Wheel of Fortune slots are accused of "systematically defrauding casino patrons out of their hard-earned money" in a recent class-action lawsuit filed in a federal court in Nevada.

According to the plaintiffs, the slot machine and its different spin-offs "deceive" players into thinking they have an equal chance of landing on any of its segments with their bonus-wheel game, which is based on the popular game show. This is because, according to the complaint, it looks to be a genuinely mechanical spinning wheel, like a roulette wheel.
