Game Overview
Wheel of Fortune is one of BetGames most popular game shows, and that’s hardly surprising, as players can bet on 25 different outcomes. The RTP of the game falls in line with other live titles released by the developer and comes in at 95%, whilst hitting the best win in Wheel of Fortune will award an 18x stake return.
The wheel comprises 19 segments with numbers 1 to 18, which are a mix of dark grey, black and red colours, while the nineteenth segment is a grey Special Cup. In between each round, you have 40 seconds to place your bets on one of the 25 betting options, and then the wheel will spin. That is about all there is to it. There are no bonus rounds or special features, and although the presenter presses a button to spin the wheel, BetGames Wheel of Fortune does not use RNGs.
One of the reasons this live dealer game show has made it here on Demoslot for review is that you can play it completely free of charge. Just hit the Wheel of Fortune demo game below, and you’ll have unlimited credits at your disposal.
Theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Wheel of Fortune is set on a bright stage in a dedicated studio with orange, yellow, white and an assortment of other colours flashing on the studio floor. With the gameplay, a host is commentating on the action and making small talk; however, on the demo version, unfortunately there is no live community chat option.
As for the gameplay, Wheel of Fortune is very similar to BetGames Classic Wheel, which is also available for demo play here on Demoslot. Honestly, when I compare the two, I really don’t see much difference. I would suggest trying both the Classic Wheel and Wheel of Fortune titles, which basically come with the same betting options, but they are set in different studios with slightly different themes.
Min-max bets are €1.00 – €100.00 per betting option, and you can choose to bet on multiple numbers, the cup and other betting options simultaneously, so the overall max bet with all bets combined can get relatively high and is capped at €50,000.
- Bet on any single number 1 to 18, or the Cup pays 18x your bet, essentially giving you 19 betting options.
- Bet on the wheel stopping on black, grey or red for 3x your bet.
- Bet on the number the wheel stops being 1 to 6, 7 to 12 or 13 to 18 for 3x your bet
How to Play Wheel of Fortune
In many ways, BetGames Wheel of Fortune is a glorified version of roulette, but with 1 to 18 numbers as straight-up bets, and the cup is the zero. The payouts are similar, too, as a straight-up bet pays 35:1, while on this game, it pays roughly half at 18:1, which makes sense as there are half the numbers of a roulette wheel. You can also treat the colour bets and the number range bets as dozens and columns from roulette simply because if the wheel hits the grey cup, you don’t win, which is the same as hitting the zero in Roulette, also resulting in all dozens and columns becoming non-winning bets.
Using roulette strategies while playing this game show is definitely worth a try. Betting is also as simple as playing roulette as you select your chip size, which in this case is 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100, then select the betting option you want to stake. Keep doing this for each betting option until the 40-second timer ends. All you need to do then is watch the wheel spin and see if you get lucky.
Other features that can help strategists like myself are the historical numbers at the top of the screen, accompanied by a small graph symbol. If you select the graph, the game gives you stats for all betting options going back through the past 500 spins.
Pros
- Extremely easy to learn how to play the game.
- Perfect for those looking for low-risk / low-variance bets.
- Non-RNG game giving you natural results.
Cons
- The 18x max win per betting option is low compared to other live Wheel of Fortune games.
- Individual RTPs for each betting option are not apparent.
Wheel of Fortune Review Final Thoughts
Compared to competing live dealer Wheel of Fortune games like Crazy Time or Monopoly live, which can net you wins worth 20,000x to 50,000x your bet, BetGames Wheel of Fortune 18x max win is relatively low. This game is more for those looking for a low to medium-variance game show that offers alternative betting options versus competing games of its type created by live dealer software providers like Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech, and co. In my opinion, the gameplay is refreshing simply because it offers low-risk betting options and what I would call side bets, such as having the option to bet on number ranges and colours on top of betting directly on the numbered wheel segments.
