Wheel Of Fortune Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
When you think of TV gameshows, then the Wheel of Fortune is up there as one of the most iconic games to ever be made in a century. We’ve probably all played some variation of this in our lifetime, whether it be a slot version, a board game or a novelty machine in an amusement arcade. Now comes the turn of Megaways™, where you’re taken to the famous studio to face the bright lights and one of the most instantly recognisable wheels around the world.
Wins within the paytable come in the form of the classic royal cards 9 through to the ace for the lower values, whilst the higher paying symbols are represented by items of luxury, namely the sports car, speed boat, jumbo jet and diamond ring, where 6 of a kind wins can reach up to 25x your stake.
Enjoying the action on this slot can take place for just €0.20 a spin, with the highest possible bet set to come in at €40 a play, although this is yet to be officially confirmed.
Wild Stacks Feature
It’s possible that in both your play on the base game and the free spin bonus, that the Wild Stacks feature may randomly trigger. To be in with a chance of this happening you will need a wild symbol to land on any of the reels, it can then extend to the full length of the reel to give you the chance of hitting more winning combos of symbols.
During action within the base game, it is possible that up to 3 Wild Stacks can land and cover all 7 positions on those reels. Whilst when the free spin bonus is taking place, a maximum of 2 wild stacks can be in play at one time, with these extending to cover 10 positions on those reels.
Wheel Of Fortune Megaways Free Spins Bonus Feature
For the free spin bonus round on Wheel of Fortune Megaways™ to be triggered, 3 or more of the scatter symbols will land in view. The more that land the better though, as we’ve detailed below for you to see.
- 3 Scatters = 12 Free Spins
- 4 Scatters = 14 Free Spins
- 5 Scatters = 16 Free Spins
- 6 Scatters = 18 Free Spins
After your free spin total has been awarded, you then head over to that famous wheel and hit the spin button to decide how many Megaways™ you are going to begin the bonus round with. Of course, here you want the number to be as high as possible and a maximum of 117,649 starting Megaways™ can be awarded here.
Once the reels are spinning in the free spin feature, then it’s all about landing the expansion symbol. This can land on any of the reels, and when it does it will be replaced by two new random symbols and the length of that reel will expand by 1 position. If you can get a reel to expand to its highest possible length of 10 positions, then a re-trigger will occur and the wheel will once again spin to reward you with a random amount of additional free spins.
The ultimate dream scenario is to expand all reels to 10 positions in height. Not only will this result in multiple re-triggers taking place, it will also see the maximum amount of 1,000,000 Megaways™ be brought into play, and with it the potential for some huge wins.
Wheel Of Fortune Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
Fans of Megaways™ Slots are likely to recognise Wheel of Fortune Megaways™ as a follow up to Big Time Gaming’s White Rabbit Megaways™, and the two games certainly do have some things in common. The most obvious trait that they share, is the expanding of the reels in the bonus round, which is where the paying potential in both games is at its highest.
Wheel of Fortunes Megaways™ does offer some additional extras such as the Wild Stacks feature, where wins can be substantial if these appear during the free spins. With them also providing some nice little top ups in the base game too. But what we liked the most, was the wheel coming into play to decide how many paylines you will begin the bonus with, if you hit the maximum here you’re in for a great chance of a huge win.
To conclude, this is a tidy addition to the Megaways™ niche and a good branded game to line up along side Deal or no Deal Megaways™. Give it a try and see if you what you make of this latest blockbuster to be converted to the Megaways™ engine.
