Silvstedt was also a co-host for the Italian version called La Ruota Della Fortuna (The Wheel of Fortune) that aired on Italia 1 hosted by Enrico Papi from 2007 until 2009.
It was announced that the show will be revived on rival channel M6[2] with comedic magician, theatre director, actor and presenter Éric Antoine as its new host in early 2025.
Produced by Arthur via his production company Satisfy, the series premiered on 27 January, 2025.
Producer Marc Gurnaud said that in order to retain its American aspects, the show had to move along quickly with no pauses or attempts at conversation between the hosts.
These represented cash values, penalty spaces, and strategic elements for use in the game.
If the letter appeared in the puzzle, the hostess revealed all instances of it, and the player was credited with cash.
The €0 space meant a contestant had to guess a letter correctly to continue but won nothing.
Caverne: Used in Round 2, a player who landed on this wedge would have the opportunity to win small prizes, such as electronics, bicycles, etc.
The Caverne space was similar to a blend of the classic shopping for prizes segment combined with the physical game action of the US children's version Wheel 2000.
Note the US version of Wheel of Fortune had a $0 wedge, but this existed only during the first pilot in 1973 (named "Shopper's Bazaar").
In the daily version from 2012, the envelopes contained one car, €2,000, €2,500, €3,000, €4,000, €5,000, €10,000, and the top prize was €30,000 unless the €60,000 wedge was brought into the bonus round.
As is the case in the US version, the player's prize they were playing for was not revealed until after the round ends.
There was also a light display around the puzzle board that alternates between red, yellow, and blue, to indicate what player's turn it was.
Other countries that had their sets similar, although not exactly the same, to the French version include Italy (La Ruota Della Fortuna) until 2009, Turkey (Çarkıfelek) until about 2010, Poland (Koło Fortuny) until 2009, and Portugal (A Roda da Sorte) until 2009.
