Wheel of Chance - 5 Reel
here’s a screenshot of the game . . .
the game itself is a 20 payline slot. there are, of course, five reels on this version of the slot.
the symbols are nifty, with the letters A, E, I, O, and U on the reels instead of the more common A, K, Q, J and T. hey, any step away from the herd is nice. the rest of the symbols are cars and money, and a few vacation symbols. One is a man in a beach chair with drink, a suitcase and beachball, and a cruise ship symbol.
there is a scatter symbol on the machine, which i guess i could describe as the scatter Vanna White. this symbol also unlocks the free spins function on the machine. 3 or more scatter symbols will trigger a free spin round, and the scatter wins themselves are multiplied. check out the paytable to see what i mean.
there is a wild symbol as well, the diamond symbol.
there is also a bonus round symbol, that appears on the second and fourth paylines. if you land two of them, it will unlock the bonus round, and some spins on the wheel of chance.
the game has some flashy-ness to it. when you land a winning combo, the symbols kindof come to life, like they do on the age of discovery slot machine. i really like it!
while playing the game, i did unlock the bonus screen, so i have a shot of that . . .
while playing the slot, there are a couple of things i found that i appreciate. you can bet any number of paylines by just pressing the number on the screen. the good thing about that is that i can just push the number 15, and play 15 paylines. i don’t need to press the “bet one” button fifteen times!
it also has some autoplay functions. you can do things like set the number of spins, speed up or slow down the time between spins, and set stopping points so you can savor the really nice wins.
here’s a shot of the paytable for the slot . . .
i wish they showed the paylines on the paytable page, like microgaming does, but i guess you can’t have everything.
the bonus game:
it’s a spin on the wheel of chance, which really resembles the wheel of fortune. on the first spin there is nothing but different winning amounts. when the wheel stops, you win whatever is printed on that slice of the wheel.
once you win, you get the chance to keep your winnings, or take a respin. the catch - some of the slices on the wheel have been replaced with black “bust” values, and if you land on them, you lose whatever you may have won previously.
so, there really is a game-within-a-game on this slot, and none of it requires any special knowledge. that, to me, is good fun.
i’ve been playing this game at english harbour. if you’re interested in playing, i suggest you take a spin on this wheel of chance bonus game before heading to the casino. it’ll give you a crack at some extra bonus cash.
