Wild Wheel Big Money from Push Gaming: Slot Review - a wheely good time!

This latest release from popular software studio Push Gaming invites players to take part in a wheel of fortune type of game giving you the chance to win huge cash prizes. The theme of this game is rather vague to be honest as it features a big wheel, a golden safe, a piggy bank symbol as well as lots of money symbols such as notes, coins, and briefcases full of cash. So in order to win big in this game then you are going to have to break the golden safe or piggy bank and spin the Wild Wheel in order to land a huge payout on the reels. Let's get spinning!

Wild Wheel Big Money is a 5 reel slot with 20 paylines that includes Nudging Wilds, Free Spins, and a Wild Wheel feature.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is the Wild symbol which is represented by an image of a big colourful wheel. It substitutes for all other symbols in the game and appears in stacks of 3 on the reels. If 1 or 2 Wild symbols land on a reel then the reel will proceed to nudge so that a full stack of 3 Wild symbols lands on the reels to further boost your chances of landing a big win. The highest paying symbol in the game is the Golden Safe as if you happen to land 5 of these symbols on an active payline then you will be celebrating in style with a tremendous 30X your total bet!

When Wild symbols form a 3x3 block of 9 Wild symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 then you will trigger the Wild Wheel feature. Once activated, the Wild Wheel will spin and you will be awarded one of the following when it stops spinning:

• Instant Wins: an instant cash prize is awarded.
• Free Spins: a number of Free Spins is awarded.
• Wheel Upgrade: the wheel is upgraded to the next level of the wheel and spins again.

The wheel will spin 3 times and if you don’t like what you have won then you can reject a prize and spin again thanks to the Take it or Leave it option. You start with the Blue Wheel and you can upgrade the wheel up to 2 more times with each level of the wheel offering Free Spins and Multiplier prizes.

• Blue Wheel: 2 to 15 Free Spins and a 2x to 15X your bet payout.
• Green Wheel: 4 to 15 Free Spins and a 5x to 100X your bet payout.
• Purple Wheel: 10 to 50 Free Spins and a 20x to 1,500X your bet payout.

During Free Spins, you will notice that the 3 reels are locked together. The same symbols on the 3 locked reels will spin together to further increase your chances of reeling in a big win.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are fairly basic to be fair as the game takes place in front of a stylish dark blue background filled with twinkling lights and a big wheel is situated just behind the reels. The symbols are nicely designed and consist of Piggy Banks, Golden Safes, Suitcases filled with cash, Money Notes, Gold Coins, as well as the standard A – J icons. The animations are smooth as symbols move up and down the reels rapidly and dazzle brightly when part of a winning combination. I especially liked when you land a big win the reels which triggers a new screen covered with an array of bright and flashy white lights.

The music is light-hearted and quite bouncy with lots of techno sounds. It ties in really well with the gameplay.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 20 paylines, a fantastic RTP of 96.98%, and a top maximum payout worth 1,500X your original bet.
