Wheel of Fortune Slot Review

The Wheel of Fortune online slot by IGT is based on the classic television game show where players compete to win cash and prizes. This will sound familiar to many online slot players who will be pleased to hear that the prizes only appear on the reels – it is just cold hard cash that you are playing to win.

Wheel of Fortune – the show – was created in America in 1975 and still runs on an almost daily basis to this day. IGT have made a habit over recent years of snapping up licences to all of the major game shows on US television and then converting them into excellent slots that appeal to fans of the show and of slots in general. Wheel of Fortune is absolutely no different, with players finding various Contestants on the reels, together with some of the more common large prizes such as the Sports Car symbol and the Cruise.

Gameplay and Prizes

The standard reel based gameplay on Wheel of Fortune will be extremely familiar to a large number of players – indeed everyone who has ever played a licenced IGT slot in the past will know exactly what they are looking out for. There are fifteen win lines with each capable of holding a stake of between $0.01 and $5 for a maximum bet per spin of $75. The largest reel based prize is an impressive 1,000 coins, paid out for spinning in five Wheel of Fortune logos on a single win line.

Features and Bonuses

As with most licenced IGT slots, the bonuses, features and special symbols are where the slot really shines. First up is the Wild symbol, which will no doubt be familiar as it does nothing other than filling in potential wins with just one symbol missing. There is also the Super Wild symbol which does the same thing but also offers a multiplier. When it appears as part of a winning combination, it expands to offer the player the choice of five envelopes. Each contains a multiplier, ranging between two times and five times the original value.

The Triple Action Bonus symbol is the scatter and unlocks the main Triple Action Frenzy bonus round. Three or more symbols grant access and the player then has a shot at the game inspired by the show. They are presented with three word puzzles and must choose letters to fill in the gaps. Successfully choosing letters adds to the prize multiplier and players that successfully solve their puzzles move on to the cash round. The player wins whatever prize appears on the cash wheel.

The Triple Action Frenzy bonus round is what really sets Wheel of Fortune apart from other online slots and is a lot of fun. You can try it now for free here at Mr Gamez.
