Game Overview
Upon Evolution Gaming initially acquiring NetEnt in 2020, many of us expected big things, but instead, the once great provider almost went on complete radio silence, and what was once a studio that pumped out the games turned into a shadow of itself with an output that practically went to zero. Thankfully, for fans of NetEnt, in 2024, this trend changed, and from recent memory, this is the most slots I’ve seen the developer release in quick succession for a long time. The latest of these to slide off the iGaming conveyor belt is Big Money Wheel, a 6-reel slot with 1,024 ways to win, an RTP of 96.07%, and a maximum win of 12,026x the bet.
There really is a Vegas style feel to Big Money Wheel with the audio and gameplay, so that begs the question, will the two features of the game be all bark and no bite, which is what I often use to describe those flashy-looking slots you find on the famous strip? The first of the bonus rounds is a hold and respin feature, with a new spin awarded each time a new cash symbol lands. Then, we have the main bonus feature, which again begins with a hold and respin game, but once you eventually run out of respins, the big wheel will spin to award some prize enhancements.
Could this magical wheel hold prizes that puts you in with a chance of hitting that super jackpot max win? Find out and take our free Big Money Wheel demo slot for some test spins. It’s available to play below.
Big Money Wheel Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
When I first saw the title of this online slot game, it immediately made me think of the Wheel of Fortune and the other similar free online slots we have here at Demoslot. So, if you dream of spinning a wheel and hitting it big, then Blueprint Gaming’s Mega Bars Fortune Wheel demo is a good option to try, along with Big Time Gaming’s Wheel of Fortune Megaways slot, which probably isn’t one of their better releases, but does have some fun aspects to it once you trigger the feature.
Before you head off and spin the life out of those suggestions, stick around for a bit longer first, as it’s time to learn more about what Big Wheel can offer over at the pays section. It’s not bad news, to be fair, with the top spot of the paytable held by the Trumpet, which is worth 50x the bet for a six of a kind win. The Violin follows at 37.5x, with the Stilettos next at 25x, whilst the Record finishes off the premium pays with a return of 12.5x for a full line of six. It’s business as usual at the lower end of the scale where the industry favourite royal symbols can be found, with the Ace and King sharing rewards of 3x and the Queen and Jack with equal payouts of 1.5x if six match on a payline. There is the inclusion of a Wild symbol that lands on reels 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the main game and will substitute for all regular symbols in the game.
Whether you’ve entered this game with virtual pockets bursting full of coins, or you’re in need of a win to resurrect your bankroll, you’ll find a suitable stake to play at on Big Money Wheel with the minimum bet size starting at €0.20, and the max bet on the game reaching €40.
Big Money Wheel Slot Base Game
There’s an unorthodox reel matrix in play on Big Money Wheel, with a 2x2x4x4x4 set-up creating 1,204 ways to win. Matching symbols from the leftmost reel first along at least three of the reels will award the corresponding payout from the paytable.
Colossal Symbols
A colossal Coin (2×2) and colossal scatter symbol can appear on reels 1 and 2. However, it should be noted that these are the only reels the scatter can land on.
Respin
In the main game, Coin symbols with random multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x10, or x25 can appear anywhere on the reels. Colossal Coin symbols with random multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x10, x25, x50, or x100 can also appear on reels 1-2. During the main game, any colossal Coin symbol appearing on the reels with at least one other Coin symbol activates 1 Re-Spin. If at least one Coin symbol appears on the reels during Re-Spins, another Re-Spin is awarded.
Big Money Wheel Slot Bonus Features
In the main game, a colossal Scatter symbol appearing on reels 1 and 2 activates free spins on a 4-reel, 6-row play area.
Free Spins Feature
The starting number of free spins in the bonus round is 3. Coin symbols and Mystery symbols appearing on the reels reset the number of free spins to 3. All symbols remain on the reels until the end of free spins.
When the Free Spins counter reaches 0, and there is at least one Mystery symbol on the reels, the Big Money Wheel feature is activated. The Big Money Wheel feature spins the wheel once, where Multiplier, Double, and Triple rewards can be won. The probability of each reward varies, and the number of occurrences on the wheel is proportional to the probability.
- Multiplier: Awards the Mystery symbols on the reels a x5, x10, x25, x50, x100, x250, x500, or x1000 multiplier.
- Double: Awards a second spin on the wheel and multiplies the Mystery symbol multiplier by 2.
- Triple: Awards a second spin on the wheel and multiplies the Mystery symbol multiplier by 3.
Bonus Buy
Activating free spins costs 90x the bet for 1 guaranteed mystery symbol at the start of the bonus, and 150x the bet for free spins with 3 guaranteed mystery symbols.
Pros
- Quite a neat and tidy design.
- Good value wins on the paytable.
Cons
- The majority of the bonus rounds I played were shockingly bad.
Big Money Wheel Slot Review Final Thoughts
I initially had high hopes for Big Money Wheel but after enduring a base game that lacked any excitement whatsoever, and two bonus rounds both failed to deliver an ounce of potential, this one was quickly packed away into the "wont' be bothering with that one again' pile.
