Wheel of Fortune Slot

True to the name of the game, there are lucrative bonus features in the form of wheel spins that may be worth a fortune. This IGT slot will not disappoint for variety and entertainment, and has the potential for big payouts to boost your bankroll.  

Slot Theme

WHEEL... OF... FORTUNE! These three words are iconic and are the war cry of the most popular American daytime television game show of the same name. These words are also a cry that you will want to hear during your game play, as it represents the entry into the feature bonus round.

The set is a golden studio set screen, with the reels neatly nestled on it. Remember the days that you would watch game shows and sit in hope that contestants would win it big? Well its your turn, and you are the contestant today, so hold your thumbs and spin to win.

Symbols and Soundtrack

Normal game play renders no music, and all that you hear are the effects built in for the reel spinner, and a brief interlude when wins are won. But, the moment you enter the spin feature the old TV show soundtrack is blasted, and you can almost imagine the cameras around you as you participate live on the biggest game show in the world.

The lower symbols are a bit misplaced in this slot, with fruits such as melons, strawberries, oranges, and grapes. The higher paying symbols are however aptly installed as prizes one would want to win on the game show. The thematic icons include: single gold bar, double gold bar, cruise ship, diamond ring, and a spinning wheel.

The ‘wild’ symbol for the game is a golden screen set with the words “wild” printed on it. This symbol will substitute for all standard symbols, and doubles the payout on any winning combo that it helps complete.

The scatter symbol is the bonus wheel icon which only ever appears in reels 1, 2, and 3. This scatter is instrumental in triggering the ‘Wheel Bonus’ feature.

Bonus Features

Aside from the bonus multiplier function of the ‘wild’ symbol, this slot has two more out of the ordinary features:

Wheel Bonus Spin Feature

Should you land three bonus scatters, the “Wheel of Fortune” war cry will resound. You will be zipped away to another screen, where you will be positioned before a big spinning wheel. By spinning the wheel you could land initial wins from 135 coins up to whatever the progressive jackpots are holding. There are three progressive jackpots for this game, each represented by a different colour on the wheel.

After each spin, you will be given the option to spin again, but each spin thereafter will accrue more and more black ‘bankruptcy’ slices (which will replace win amounts) onto the wheel. Should you land on a bankruptcy’ slice, you will loose all wins accrued in the feature. The more you spin, the greater the chance of losing everything, but the higher the chance of hitting the jackpot.

Bonus Jackpot Symbol

This symbol will appear randomly on the reels every now and then. The colour and amount displayed on the symbol differs from time to time. Each time it appears it increases the progressive jackpot of the same colour, at the top left of the screen by the amount of credits shown on the icon. This will play in your favour once you trigger the ‘Wheel Bonus’, as it will increase your potential jackpot win amount up for grabs.

Summary

If you are sick and tired of just watching game shows, and actually wan to take part in one, then take a gamble and play this slot by IGT today. The features offered pave way for a decent potential haul of cash, and the festivities of the game will have you singing in unison: “WHEEL... OF... FORTUNE!”
