About Wheel of Wealth
Microgaming is the software developer for this traditional three reel slot, and as they are one of the best developers in the world, we are expecting something special. It is a three coin – one pay-line slot that takes us back to the times of the one-armed-bandit. If these are the types of slots you know well and loved, then this could quite honestly be the perfect game to play. It offers a top prize of 5000 coins when making a maximum bet.
Special Features
Traditional three reels slots do not normally offer a whole lot of special features, but this has a few little twists to help keep players entertained as well as winning. Being a classic game, classic icons are used, and these consist of cherries, single yellow bars, double green bars, and triple red bars. The Wheel of Wealth icon is the highest paying symbol, plus it acts as a wild, which is highly unusual in this playing genre.
Being wild, this substitutes for all other icons except the trigger for bonus game, and we shall get to that a little later. If one drops onto the pay-line it offers a two times multiplier, if two drop onto the pay-line, then this is doubled to a multiple of four times the wager.
It is such a simple game to play that the coin line is fixed at one, and the maximum wager is 3.00. Players may bet one, two, or three coins, and there is not auto-spin feature, so, to play we are compelled to work this slot. Game-play is smooth, fast, and we have no complaints there, while ambient sounds certainly made this writer feel as though we were playing in a penny arcade.
Bonus Feature
As we said previously there is not normally a bonus game in a three reel slot, however we are now playing these games online, so, times have really changed. We have seen a few classic slots with bonus games – sometimes more than one – and Wheel of Wealth has a bonus game too. This not too surprisingly is based on a wheel of fortune type of game.
When the “Spin” icon drops onto the line in the third reel, then the bonus game activates. But it pays to remember that this will only take place when a third coin has been wagered. A wheel of fortune loads to the scree, the player is invited to take a spin, and wherever the wheel chooses to stop, offers a prize amount that is added into the win.
