NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 2, 2008 -- WorldWinner has launched an online cash competition version of television's top rated syndicated show, Wheel of Fortune. WorldWinner (www.worldwinner.com), the leader in online game competitions, unveiled its adaptation of Wheel of Fortune through an agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products. Also available on GSN.com and WheelofFortune.com, Wheel of Fortune enables fans to experience the thrill of spinning the wheel, buying a vowel, and solving the puzzle in a variety of categories, just like its TV counterpart.

"Our agreement with Sony Pictures Consumer Products and our relationship with GSN have proven that there's great synergy between online cash tournament games and television game shows. We're thrilled to work with a group of people that are exceptionally skilled at bringing to life games in both of those mediums," said Peter Blacklow, president of WorldWinner. "I know our players can't wait for their chance to spin the wheel, and I'm pleased that we're able to bring them another fun, challenging TV-to-online game adaptation."

"We are thrilled that WorldWinner was able to create a true-to-TV version of Wheel of Fortune for our combined online audiences," said Gregory Economos, Sr. Vice President, Business Affairs & Operations, Sony Pictures Consumer Products.

"Our long and successful broadcast run has proven that Wheel of Fortune fans are passionate about the game, and we believe we'll find additional loyal, generation-spanning players through GSN and WorldWinner."

The online version of Wheel of Fortune was made available to WorldWinner's top-scoring Premier Club in advance for testing and approval. The game received an overwhelmingly positive response for being true to the original TV show format. And after its debut week of play on WorldWinner, Wheel of Fortune immediately became one of the site's top ten games.

Wheel of Fortune enjoys a significant online following through its Wheel Watchers Club, and today's announcement will allow those dedicated fans to test their puzzle-solving skills online at www.worldwinner.com and through WorldWinner's partner sites, which include AOL Games, GSN.com, MSN Games and Pogo.com. Cash competitions will also be available via the Wheel of Fortune Web site at www.wheeloffortune.com.
