Wheel of Fortune Slots Enhanced with a New Video and Special
Bonuses
The Wheel of Fortune Slots, which are based the television
game show “Wheel of Fortune”, one of the most popular game
shows ever on television, were a big hit the minute they
were introduced to the playing public. Now, IGT, the slot
machine’s manufacturer, is launching several new versions
of the game complete with video and special bonuses.
The new video slot, IGT’s “Special Edition”, is sure to attract a lot of players
with its upgraded graphics, enhanced stereo sound, and actual video clips of
TV show hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White guiding players through the action of
the game. No doubt, the new features only serve to distract players from the
fact that they are really still playing with just an ordinary slot machine. The
slots are five-reel, fifteen-line games allowing bets of up to 75 coins per spin.
The new bonus round features included with the new Wheel of Fortune slots include
the Triple Action Wheel. With the regular slots, players that got a bonus round
were allowed to spin the wheel again and whatever slot number the wheel landed
on was multiplied by whatever the player’s bet was (in other words, if the wheel
landed on a five the player received five times her bet, if the wheel landed
on a ten, the player would receive ten time her bet etc). With the new game,
the player is given the opportunity to solve actual word puzzles associated with
red, yellow, and blue pointers above the wheel. If the player gets all three
correct, she will then get all three multipliers that the pointers landed on.
Money Spin is the other bonus feature appearing with the
new Wheel of Fortune slots. With this bonus a player can
spin the wheel and either get a bonus slot and continue as
usual or she might get a bonus amount and a second spin of
the wheel to add to her winnings. If the player is really
lucky, she might receive the bonus and launch a completely
separate version of the game that features six reels, four
rows, and twenty pay lines. In this version of the game,
players can really see the money come in.
