"Wheel of Fortune" Holding Auditions In Tacoma Today

Entertaining a lifetime fantasy of meeting Pat Sajak?

If so, you're in luck. "Wheel of Fortune" is coming to town.

The venerable game show's Wheelmobile is headed to the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma today and Thursday from 5-9 p.m. for a contestant search.

One-hour shows will be at 5, 6:30 and 8 p.m. on both days. Applications will be handed out one hour prior to each show. Contestants must be 21 or older. 

Everyone who comes to a Wheelmobile event will receive a color-coded application, which shows which game you are eligible for. All applications will be dropped into a large golden drum on the stage. When the show starts, the host will pick applications at random and call participants up to the stage to play.

Each contestant will do a brief interview and then play a version of the "Wheel of Fortune" Speed-Up Round. All contestants will win a prize, such as show hat or T-shirt.

The show is looking for "good game players" who are energetic, enthusiastic and fun.

"This is your opportunity to shine," a news release from the show urges. "Show us what you've got."

Those selected at the Wheelmobile event will take part in a final round of interviews in the Seattle area within a few months.
