Wheel Of Wishes Slot ᐈ Demo game + Review

Wheel Of Wishes slot review

Microgaming has some mighty popular progressive jackpots under its belt, and this time they’ve partnered up with the independent studio, Alchemy Gaming, to try their luck with another one. Can Wheel of Wishes slot live up to legendary games like Mega Moolah and Major Millions, or will it sink into the sea of mediocrity once the hype is over?

The game plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 ways to win, and you can place bets between 10p and £25 per spin across all platforms and devices. The RTP is set at 93.34 %, which is a bit low for our liking. The game is said to have “very low” volatility, so at least chasing the big jackpots will not take you for too much of a bumpy ride here.

The base game comes with a Power Spin feature that you can also pay to trigger, and this is the key to triggering the jackpot wheel of fortune. The main jackpot starts at £2 million, so big money can certainly be won here. The biggest problem with this game is the somewhat tedious base game, and the fact that you really need to land one of the 2 biggest jackpots to win anything meaningful here.

What symbols are there?

The highest paying regular symbol here is the lamp that can make all your wishes come true, but the wins you can get from the scatter and the wild symbol is a lot higher. Either way, you will need to land between 3 and 5 matching symbols on a payline to win, and here we present you with the paytable for Wheel of Wishes slot:

• Scatter symbol - Pays 500x for 5 anywhere
• Wild symbol - Pays 50x for 5 on a payline
• Genie lamp - Pays 10x for 5 on a payline
• Treasure chest - Pays 7.5x for 5 on a payline
• Book of spells - Pays 5x for 5 on a payline
• Magic potion - Pays 4.5x for 5 on a payline
• Amulet - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline
• Royal symbols - Pay between 2.5x and 2x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The main attraction of this game is the progressive jackpots, but let’s first take a closer look at whatever bonus features you can benefit from in the base game. The wild symbol spells out the word “wild”, so it’s hard to miss.

This symbol pays out quite well in its own respect, and it can also step in for all regular symbols in such a way that your winnings are maximized. In other words, it acts like a wild symbol normally does.

The main bonus feature you can trigger, except for the jackpot feature, is called Power Spin. You will activate this feature when you land at least 2 scatter symbols in the base game. You will now land massive 3x3 symbols on the 3 middle reels, and this greatly increases your chances of triggering the jackpot bonus game.

If you don’t feel like waiting around for the Power Spins to trigger organically, you can always opt to buy the feature. This will cost you deep in the purse, however, as the price is 10x your stake. If you manage to trigger the jackpot game, it might just be worth it though, and you never know before you try.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

To win really big on this game, you need to trigger the jackpot bonus game. You can only trigger the jackpot feature in Power Spin mode, and as we said above, you need to land at least 2 scatters on the same spin (or buy the feature for 10x your stake). Also keep in mind that anything above 2 scatters will give you a nice scatter win up to 500x.

Once in Power Spin mode, you need to land the massive Bonus Wheel symbol fully on the 3 middle reels. This is how you trigger the jackpot bonus game, and the wheel of fortune will then spin to determine which of the 4 progressive jackpots you win (yes, you are guaranteed to win one of them). The 4 jackpots comes with the following seed levels (or starting points, if you wish):

• Mini Jackpot seeds at £10
• Minor Jackpot seeds at £100
• Major Jackpot seeds at £50,000
• Wowpot! seeds at £2,000,000

SlotCatalog verdict

The proclaimed “very low” volatility would have made this a thankful game for a bit of jackpot chasing, was it not for the fact that the RTP of 93.34 % is “very low” too (and even lower in Power Spin mode). Chances of winning anything of significance in the base game is slim to none, so the only thing that keeps you going here is the slim chance of landing the big jackpot.

Pros

• Power spin mode with 3x3 mega symbols
• 4 progressive network jackpots (with guaranteed win)
• Very low volatility

Cons

• RTP of 93.34 % is low (even for a progressive jackpot game)
• Not all that much action in the base game
