Wheel of Fortune Slot

The Wheel of Fortune is a motif that's featured on many things in the last thousand years, from the tarot card which represents a free-wheeler on a journey through life, to its most amusing incarnation as the hairy wheel of Justice on the classic TV show, Vic Reeves Big Night In. However, the most popular incarnation of this circular luck machine has no doubt been the Wheel of Fortune quiz game on TV, where players spin a reel and answer questions to win some of the great prizes the show has to offer. With the Wheel now being associated in people's minds with winning and gambling it was only going to be a matter of time before someone themed a slot game around this symbol of auspice, so let's take a deeper look at the three reel affair that is The Wheel of Fortune slot game.

Firstly don't be deceived by the Wheel of Fortunes basic looking layout. The three reel, five pay line set up gives players a chance to put in the max bet that most slot experts say you should always place, without needing the massive bank-roll demanded by some of the five reel slots. Graphically this slot is very well put together with a fast, responsive game mechanism that experienced slot players will simply love as there's very little time wasted between spins, giving the game a fast paced action feel. In the top right hand corner of the main screen you'll notice three jackpot counters, coded by colour. These jackpot counters increment whenever you stop the appropriate coloured counter anywhere in view on the games three reels. You can then go on to win any one of these jackpots in the Wheel of Fortune's bonus game.

The bonus game on this compact online slot is activated by stopping in three Wheel of Fortune symbols on any active pay line, which takes you through to a secondary screen where you'll get a chance to spin that legendary wheel that gives this slot game its name. In this great bonus game you spin the wheel and then you receive an award based on where the wheel stops, with the award differing in accordance with where the wheel stops. There are yellow, orange and red stops on the wheel and each one of these will award the appropriate jackpot award which hopefully you've hyped up during the normal spin game. Beware however, as every time you win, your winning stop, together with 3 others will change into bankrupt stops. Hit a bankrupt stop and you'll lose everything you've worked so hard to gain, although you won't walk away with empty pocket as you're awarded a small consolation amount which you can take into the double or nothing gamble wheel game. Experienced slot jockeys will realise that the Wheel of Fortune bonus is a single virtual reel game, but don't think that makes the wins on offer any less real.

The second bonus game as we've mentioned is a double or nothing reel. You can bet your consolation amount from the bonus game on this completely fair wheel where you've got a 50/50 chance of doubling your money or losing it all. You can bet it all up to five times give you a chance to increase that consolation stake 32 times.
