Wheel of Wonders

Expanding Reels

Not to confuse with Wheel of Wishes, which is a completely different game, the Wheel of Wonders slot is played with a 6×3 reel and 729 ways at the start. There are 11 symbols, three of which (the high pay ones) will also award for just 2-of-a-kind. They can also appear stacked, including Sargon Wild.

Whenever wins are created, the symbols implode. This will unlock a random number of new Additional Positions on the rows above, and allow for new symbols to drop in for another chance of a win. Each time this happens, the number of payways is recalculated.

Once you fill up a row, you get one Ancient Wheel Feature.

Ancient Wheel Feature

Complete rows of Additional Positions to secure yourself a wheel bonus when the winning spree stops before you unlock all three rows. There are three Ancient Wheel Feature prizes:

• Bet Multiplier – 1x-5,000x
• Total Multiplier – x2-x20
• Base Game Features – one of four instant bonuses.

Let’s take a look at the four possible features in more detail.

Base Game Features

These features are a nice addition to the multipliers mentioned above and can actually change the course of the game for the better:

• Embellish – converts the lowest symbol visible into a higher symbol which is on the screen
• Renovate – low symbols get converted to random Mid or High symbols (not all the same)
• Restore – awards up to 7 Additional Positions with extra symbols
• Transmute – adds random Wilds.

That’s all good, however, the real game begins when all three rows get unlocked and when the Wheel of Wonders feature gets triggered.

Wheel of Wonders Free Spins with 46,656 Ways

Once all three new rows become unlocked and the wins stop, the game will award a multiplier wheel. Even this wheel has three levels, so the bonus can start with a multiplier of 2x-20x!

Just five spins seems like a ridiculous amount, but thanks to the guaranteed 46,656 ways to win, each spin is highly leveraged and can lead to re-triggers. In fact, there are three types of Free Spins Re-triggers, depending on how many times in a row you win:

• Bronze Re-trigger – Win 5 or more times, get +2 spins and extra multiplier.
• Silver Re-trigger – Win 9 or more times, get +3 spins and extra multiplier.
• Gold Re-trigger – Win 15 or more times, get +5 free spins and extra multiplier.

This is where the bonus gets very interesting. – That extra multiplier can also go all the way up to 20x; and there is no limit to how many times you can re-trigger the Free Spins!

As we come back down to earth, the feature is understandably not easy to trigger and does not always pay well. But thanks to the Ancient Wheels, the journey through the base game is not as dull as some MegaWays slots out there.
