Wheel of Wealth comes in a Special Edition, which we review here, but there is also a classic version for those that prefer it. The theme is related to riches in this case, being a bit of a luxury slot by the looks of it. Among the images which will give you this idea you will find red sports cars, diamonds, gold bars and private jets. The game is created by Microgaming. The wheel of wealth is used in a lot of slots, sometimes being the main theme, other times being just a bonus feature.
The modern version of Wheel of Wealth has the reels and lines to prove it, with 5 for the former and 25 for the latter. There are also scatters, wilds, multipliers and the two bonus features, Reel Bonus and Bonus Wheel. You can win up to $50,000 if you play this game.
Features of Wheel of Wealth Special Edition
The game’s main features include the wild symbol, its multipliers, a scatter and a bonus game which uses its own symbol to get started.
The wild symbol is the one that has the logo of Wheel of Wealth on it. This symbol is useful whenever it lands on a payline where a few matching icons are already in place, so that it can substitute for a missing one and help them create a combo. The usual rules of combos still have to be respected, with symbols arranging from left to right in consecutive order. The wilds apply 2x multipliers and double prizes whenever they manage to use their ability. That multiplier doesn’t apply to the wild’s own prizes, which go up to 10,000x and are offered when you have as many as five symbols on a payline.
The scatter Coin is another feature symbol of Wheel of Wealth. You will get only prizes from it, but it can be quite generous with them. The smallest prize is valued at 2x the bet and is offered when you have two scatters in any position. The biggest one is at 200x the bet and requires five scattered Coins.
Wheel of Wealth Bonus
The Bonus Wheel symbol is the kind that needs to form a combination in order to be of any use to you. You can only trigger the bonus feature when you have 5 Bonus Wheels on an active line.
With just 3 or 4 Bonus Wheels, the result is the start of the Reel Bonus feature, which can either give you up to 2,000 coins, or it can send you to the Wheel of Wealth feature. In Wheel of Wealth, the prizes offered go up to 10,000 coins.
Betting options and jackpots
When you decide on the wager that you will place on one spin of this game, you have to choose how many lines you want to cover (1 to 25) and the number of coins per line (1 to 10). You also pick the denomination of the coins, which is between $0.01 and $0.50. You can end up with a $5 line wager, and a maximum bet of $125.
You’re getting a pretty good top payout in this game, as it offers 10,000x the line bet if you get the right five symbols on an active line. It means 100,000 coins, or $50,000 cash.
Design and symbols
Though you get a lot of fruit symbols among the ones used in this game, they are a lot more polished and beautiful than you would see in 99% of the games that use their image. The rest of the symbols are mostly symbols of wealth. The mix of luxury and fruits works well enough in this case. The background is a simple solid color, nothing there that could enhance the design.
Symbols: Bonus Wheel (bonus), Wheel of Wealth Logo (wild, 10,000x), Gold Coin (200x the bet, scatter), Private Jet (750x), Red Car (500x), Diamond (300x), Gold Bars (250x), Money (200x), Melon (100x), Orange (90x), Lime (80x), Apple (70x), Grape (60x) and Cherries (50x).
Is It Worth Playing?
The theme might not be particularly inspiring, but the game makes sure that it offers good prizes and the features aren’t bad either. I’d play it again, and I suggest you give it a chance as well.
This Wheel of Wealth Special Edition slot is offered by all online casinos with Microgaming software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
