It is always easy to be drawn to games that are based off of something that is very familiar to us. We have all seen the Wheel of Fortune TV show and it is a fun game that is light-hearted and easy to play. Luckily the same can be said about the slot game that carries its name, with it being a great experience with much fun to be had.

That famous spinning wheel is in attendance and anyone familiar with the TV show will be able to jump straight into this online slot machine. It is certainly a trip down memory lane when you play Wheel of Fortune, but we were glad to see that the nostalgia gives way to a solid online slot experience, that is very much worthy of its illustrious name.

The Game

This game like its namesake on television is very simple to understand and play, while the design and game play is simple but effective. What you have is a 5 reel, 5 line online slot that is all about getting that ultimate bonus experience; a spin on the wheel.

The look of the whole game is magnificent. The colours are bright and vibrant while graphically the WagerWorks software does an amazing job. It may be expected by such a famous brand but it is good to see a quality product has been developed and they have not just traded off the name.

After making your wager you will spin the reels in the hope of landing either 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols. Of course you will be hoping to match certain symbols to claim cash prizes, but the reason we are all here, and the thing we all want is a chance to get onto the mighty wheel.

Wheel Bonus Round

If you are lucky enough to get on to the Wheel of Fortune you will be asked to spin it very much like the TV show. The wheel will come to a stop on the prize that you have won, you will then be offered the chance to walk away or increase your winnings by having another spin. Be warned that on any spin you may land on the bankrupt slot, although even then you still have the chance to win big.

Double or Nothing

If you land on a bankrupt slot you will be awarded a consolation prize. You will then be able to gamble this consolation on a double or nothing wheel.

Summary

The only downside to the Wheel of Fortune is that there is no progressive jackpot, although we found the accumulator prizes to be more than adequate. What will keep the gamers flocking back to this game are the great bonus rounds that are exhilarating and tense, and of course it is always nice to play something we have seen countless times on the television.

Wheel of Fortune deserves its reputation as one of the best online slot games, and with so much fun to be had we can see it remaining a cult favourite for many years to come.
