Wheel Of Fortune Megaways

No matter if you belong to younger or older generations, you have surely heard of the Wheel of Fortune, as it is one of the most popular, as well as one of the longest-running TV shows in America, created long back in 1975!

Due to its phenomenon and popularity, the devs in the online gambling world have created dozens of online games inspired by this show, but the IGT giant has teamed up with Big Time Gaming to create their own franchise incorporating one of the most popular Megaways mechanics! (read here)

Let's spin the wheel and grab the biggest prize of 80150x the stake!

Theme and Symbols

This quiz-themed online game is inspired by a special kind of competition where the contestants compete against one another solving word puzzles, as well as a huge wheel of fortune that can be spun and hopefully award some amazing cash prizes!

Upon loading the slot, you will be transported into an authentic TV studio, representing a background for the reels, full of luxury and blingy details!

When it comes to symbols, you will see A to 9 royals, as well as gold rings, speedboats, cars and private jets.

The famous assistant, Vanna White in a blue dress represents the Wild symbol.

Overall, though this online game does not boast a completely modern look, that's not expected from a slot machine inspired by the show that is the first-time broadcast in the last century.

Betting Options and Other Functions

This branded-themed release comes with high volatility, while an RTP comes with an above-average percentage of 96.46%, but, more importantly...

...the game comes with the minimum number of 64 bet ways, going to a maximum of 117,649!

The action is played across a 6-reel layout with varying numbers of rows going from 2 to 7.

But, before you start participating in an authentic TV show, you should set your bets that start at $0.2 and go up to $100 per spin, which will appeal to all types of players, even more so because there is a pretty good maximum payout of 80150x your total stake!

When it comes to symbols, the most rewarding regular symbol is the diamond ring, paying up to 25x your total stake, while, on the lower side, we get familiar 9 to A royals.

Special Features

Wheel of Fortune Megaways really justifies the name, as it can potentially get you a pretty head-spinning fortune thanks to its pack of special features that includes Wild Megastacks, Free Spins, and Expanding Reels.

Let's start with the special Wild symbol that will not only substitute for all regular symbols, but it will also transform into a Wild Megastack when it lands.

During the base game, as many as 3 reels can be randomly completely covered in 7 positions-high wilds, while in free spins up to 2 reels may feature 10 wilds each!

Speaking of the Free Spins feature, you will need at least three Scatter symbols anywhere across the reels to trigger it and get between 12 and 18 extra spins!

But, here's the kicker!

Before the bonus round begins, you will get to spin the Wheel of Fortune and determine the starting number of Megaways that can go as high as 117649!

Now, the Expansion symbol is the star of the free spins since, whenever it lands, it will be replaced by two new symbols that will increase the number of symbols in that reel by one – up to 10 positions high at the most. 

When a reel reaches the maximum height, the wheel will spin once again and award up to 12 additional free spins!

If you manage to get all 6 reels to reach 10 rows high, then...

...you will get a staggering 1 million Megaways, which is where the potential of a maximum 80150x the stake can be won!

Conclusion

Wheel of Fortune Megaways is the second BTG online release to be based on a quiz show after Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Megaways.

This branded-themed online game from IGT slot list features visuals that might not be as modern or detailed as someone might wish them to be, but they are just good enough providing they are here to display the authentic look of the original show.

More importantly, it boasts a great best odds number, an interesting set of features and an impressive maximum prize of 80150x the stake!
