Wheel of Fortune is a pinball machine based on the American game show of the same name. Its software was never finished due to poor sales and programmer Keith Johnson being laid off from Stern Pinball, and as a result there are lots of unused assets and game rules.

Unused Music

The game has Trip Multiball modes which are started by either solving Prize Puzzles or winning "Trip" wedges off the Wheel. Each Trip Multiball takes place in a different location with its own music and display effects. The latest 5.0 revision has four Trip Multiballs: Chicago, Nashville, Africa, and Australia. Unused music tracks reveal that seven more - Sturgis, Hawaii, Jamaica, Las Vegas, Spain, the Pacific Northwest, and Area 51 - were planned.

Of these Trip Multiballs, only Spain has two unique tracks instead of one.

Sturgis Trip Multiball

Hawaii Trip Multiball

Jamaica Trip Multiball

Las Vegas Trip Multiball

Spain Trip Multiball

Pacific Northwest Trip Multiball

Area 51 Trip Multiball
