What is Wheel Of Fortune about?

Wheel of Fortune is an American gaming show first started in 1975, which basically follows the rule of hangman.

It made its Australian debut on 21 July 1981 and after changing hands and locations it ended on 27 June 2008.

Contestants solve word puzzles to ultimately spin the giant Wheel of Fortune to win “life-changing cash” and prizes.

It will be interesting to see what the new version will include with bonus games like mystery rounds and mystery wedges previously added in.
