IGT (S2000) Wheel of Hottie Slot Machine AKA (Wheel Hottie) (Extremely Rare)
- This was the slot machine that really wasnt supposed to be make. However very few ere made for a few casinos! No other company is likely to have this rare slot machine!
Wheel Hottie (sometimes written Wheel Hottie) is a relatively obscure older land-based video slot, not a widely documented or currently produced title. It dates to roughly the late 2000s–early 2010s era and is now considered rare.
It was spotted and played in a 2024 video at Coushatta Casino Resort in Louisiana, where two machines sat side by side. Players recalled it being more common about 15 years earlier, including at the Las Vegas airport. It is frequently compared to a similar game called Red Hottie.
Gameplay and features
From available footage and descriptions:
It is a video slot (not a classic three-reel stepper) with a prominent bonus wheel.
The main trigger is landing a wheel symbol, which starts a spin of the bonus wheel for credit prizes.
The wheel displays various credit values. Landing certain higher values awards an extra spin of the wheel.
More Information
IGT S2000 (Barcrest-style cabinet), a 3-reel stepper from roughly 15+ years ago.
“Wheel of Hottie” / “Wheel Hottie” is an obscure older IGT title, not one of the current Wheel of Fortune cabinets (DiamondRS Premium Wheel, PeakSlant, Rise, Trio, etc.). Players and footage describe it as a companion/variant to the better-known Red Hottie game—same era, similar “Hottie” branding, wheel bonus on top, and the same hard-to-trigger bonus feel. It was once common enough to appear in places like the Las Vegas airport but is now rare on casino floors.
Red Hottie listings confirm the S2000 / Barcrest platform (3 reels, typically 1 payline, coin or coinless). Wheel Hottie follows the same hardware family with an added top-box wheel.
Approximate dimensions (S2000 upright with top box)
Exact published specs for this specific theme are scarce. These are the standard IGT S2000 upright measurements that apply to Red Hottie and similar wheel-top games:
Dimensions
- Width: 21.25" (cabinet body) to ~26.5–27" (with handle/speakers)
- Depth: 16" at the base, ~20.75–22" overall
- Height: ~48.
- 5–54" for the main cabinet + top box; add 4–6" for a candle/light. Wheel-top versions are taller than a plain S2000 (some Wheel of Fortune S2000 examples reach ~61–71" with the topper).
- Weight: typically 200–260 lbs
These match multiple S2000 / Barcrest sales listings and IGT product drawings from that generation. A machine with a physical wheel topper will sit at the taller end of the range.
There is a separate “special bonus game” or buy-the-bonus option that costs extra (described as expensive and not used in the recorded session).
Base-game betting in the video was at the $3 level (three credits at $1 denomination). Line pays occur alongside the wheel feature.
The bonus is described as not easy to trigger, similar to Red Hottie.
The machine has relatively quiet sound compared with many modern slots.
Theme and availability
The name “Hottie” points to a sexy or pin-up style theme common in some older casino slots, though detailed artwork descriptions are scarce. It is not an online slot and does not appear in current major manufacturer catalogs (IGT, Bally/Light & Wonder, Aristocrat, Everi, etc.) under that exact title. Surviving units are uncommon and typically found only in certain regional casinos that keep older inventory.
It is distinct from better-known “hot” or wheel games such as IGT’s Wheel of Fortune series, Everi’s Smokin’ Hot Stuff Wicked Wheel, or various online Hot Wheel / Hot Spin titles. Those have far more documentation and wider placement. Wheel Hottie remains a niche, nostalgia-driven find for slot enthusiasts hunting rare older machines
