5 Reel Wheel of Chance Slots
The wheel of chance – it’s that proverbial object that symbolizes our lot in life, how we’re sometimes up and sometimes down and that, no matter how much we try to escape it, our fate is ultimately left up to chance. Of course, you can take the wheel of chance figuratively or literally. If you choose to take the latter interpretation, then you probably can’t get any more literal than the 5 Reel Wheel of Chance Slots. People play this video slots game as much for the Wheel of chance bonus game as the slots game itself. Indeed, if not for the bonus game, this video slots game would scarcely be set apart from other slots machines. Its interface is pretty simple and would be understandable even for newbies to the game of slots. The color scheme is nothing special, just a dark blue background with colorful accents. The symbols, too, are also rather typical. There are pictures of the things you’d relate with a life of luxury such as a car, a yacht, a beach ball, a beautiful woman, a man, and a wad of cash. The remaining symbols are all high level playing cards. The sound effects are quite engaging although, again, nothing special.
The Basics
- This video slots game, as implied by its title, is a five-reel slots machine.
- It has 20 paylines in all.
- Its betting range is pretty narrow, with the minimum being 1 cent and the maximum being 10 cents.
- The jackpot, however, is pretty good at $160,000.
- And of course, there’s also the Bonus Jackpot, which is at $144,000.
The Symbols
Like other slots games, 5-reel Wheel of Chance has a couple of symbols that will help boost your game. One of them is the Wild Symbol, which is represented by a picture of a Diamond. As usual, you can exchange this symbol for any other symbol in the game in order to form a winning combination except for the Scatter Symbol. The Scatter Symbol is used to award free spins.
The Bonus
Like I said, the special thing about this game is its bonus feature, which is the Wheel of Chance. The game is activated if you get 2 Wheel Symbols anywhere on your reels. Basically, what you’ll do is spin the wheel and wait for it to stop. Different amounts are written all over the wheel. And whichever amount the pointer stops at will be added to your prize. Spin again, and your prize increases once more. However, if the wheel stops at BUST, your winnings will be forfeit and you will only get the consolation prize. Theoretically, you get an unlimited amount of spins. However, after each spin, the chances of getting BUST will increase, as some of the prizes will be replaced with BUST. So, you can either get greedy and keep spinning, which is a win big or win nothing at all, or play safe and stop while you have a decent amount.
