Wheel Of Fortune Is Adding A New Bonus Round Worth Up To $500,000, But With A Catch

Vanna White stands in front of the board during the bonus round on Wheel of Fortune.

The game of Wheel of Fortune hasn’t changed much in the past 40-plus years it’s been on the air, with its strong premise making it one of the best game shows of all time. However, different elements have been added over time to keep things fresh, including the Million-Dollar Wedge and the Toss-Up rounds. Now, a new bonus round is about to be introduced that’s worth up to $500,000, but there’s a catch — it will be for one night only.

Wheel of Fortune will kick off a special DraftKings Casino Multiplier Tournament when it airs on the 2025 TV schedule from November 24 to 28. The top three players from the Monday-Thursday episodes will return on Friday and face off in a championship for the chance to compete in a special Toss-Up Bonus Round, where they could win a half-million dollars. Let’s break down how this new bonus round is going to work, per TV Insider.
