Wheel of Fortune on tour Review

Being one of the top-notch providers in the gambling market, IGT, has a proven track record of keeping up with trends and creating adaptive and memorable online games that will delight you with either out-of-the-box gameplay or payouts. It’s worth saying that they also carefully consider visual details, so players feel as immersed as possible in the story of a particular game. Some of their most popular games include Siberian Storm, Cleopatra, Pixies of the Forest and, of course, Wheel of Fortune on Tour. The latter belongs to the notorious Wheel of Fortune game series, which took inspiration from the popular TV show, where viewers were asked to spin a wheel that guaranteed them a certain win. In the Wheel of Fortune on Tour slot, you will not only spin the Wheel but try to drive as long as possible across the expanses of America!

Perhaps the slot does not look ultra-modern, but the developer's attention to detail still overshadows some graphical flaws. As soon as the game loads, you will see a 5x3 grid, which is located in the background of the windshield of the bus you are driving. The theme is reminiscent of the Las Vegas aesthetic with its vibrant nightlife, bright lights and palm trees.

All game symbols also allude to either the attributes of a bus journey, or the sights to which your path leads. You will be playing with 30 fixed paylines, automatically linked to 50 coins. Accordingly, you can only change the coin value, which ranges from 1 to 500 credits. So, the minimum total bet starts at 50 and goes up to 25,000 credits. The game does not have a turbo mode, but you can still choose the standard auto-spin option (from 10 to 50).

You don't have to worry about your bus missing the winnings - you'll get them often enough, as the Wheel of Fortune on Tour slot is designed on a medium volatility math model. Another positive news is the Return to Player rate of 96.6%, which means it is above the industry average and even above the standard RTP of this particular provider.

Wheel of Fortune on Tour Slot Features

Before we delve into the analysis of all the bonuses, we want to draw your attention to the fact that the game can seriously discourage a beginner with its abundance of features. Even if you are an experienced player, there is a chance that you will have to read all the instructions twice before you understand what's what. The nuance is that many bonuses are interconnected. However, even if you're more of a fan of classic slots with 1-2 bonus features (or none at all), we recommend that you give this game a chance since not only will you not get bored here, but you will most likely take gifts from this American journey.

As we mentioned earlier, all the symbols are related to US landmarks and the tourist bus ride. The low-value symbols consist of keys, a road map, and a "Route 66" road sign, and they pay 150 credits for 5 symbols on a payline. The medium-value symbol category is represented by the White House, Liberty Bell, and Mount Rushmore icons, which pay 250 credits for a combination of 5 identical symbols. The most valuable symbols are Hollywood Star and Wheel of Fortune (wild) which will pay you 1,250 and 2,500 credits for 5-of-a-kind.

Remember that the final payout amount depends on the coin value you choose.

During the game, not only you will hope for combinations of the most profitable symbols and wilds, but also for scatters (the yellow bus). They only appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. For each scatter, you are given 1 unit of fuel. After collecting 10 units, you will have one full jerrycan. Each jerrycan is used to move the bus around the map, which you can see if you click on the map icon in the top left corner. This is called the Level Up Plus Feature.

The more jerrycans you collect, the further you can move on the map, respectively, the more bonuses will become available to you.

The Level Up Plus Feature conditionally consists of 7 Tiers, each of which offers you more and more opportunities and winnings. We will briefly describe the bonuses of each Tier you are up to unlock (you can find out about the bonuses available to you using the map icon with an "i" in the upper right corner of the screen).

• Tier 1 - this is where you start when first playing the game
• Tier 2 - payback boost, 3 free spins (each round, a random symbol obtains wild properties)
• Tier 3 - payback boost, expanded awards (your chances for top prizes are tripled)
• Tier 4 - payback boost, the Letter Board Picker Feature (each letter from the WHEEL OF FORTUNE board guarantees a prize, either additional letter picks or multipliers up to x5)
• Tier 5 - payback boost, Multiplier Wedge (your extra spin from the Bonus Wheel will be multiplied by x2-x5)
• Tier 6 - Spin to Win Feature (you’ll see the new Bonus Wheel that only offers credit prizes from 1,500 to 20,000 credits)
• Tier 7 - Bonus Trigger Boost (at any spin, you are guaranteed with a mystery bonus feature)

The Level Up Plus Feature described above is directly related to the On Tour Bonus Feature. If the first function is responsible for progressing and unlocking features, then the On Tour Bonus feature is the key to activating these features. As soon as you get 3 scatters on the same spin, the On Tour Bonus feature will trigger, after which the bus will finally start moving for the number of jerrycans that you managed to collect.

Then, the Bonus Wheel will appear in front of you, offering both credits and features that are available to you (depending on what Tier you have). Cash rewards start at 300 credits and go up to 10,000. Recall once again that any credit value from this Wheel is additionally multiplied by the coin value you choose to play with.

In addition to all this riot of bonuses, boosters and multipliers, players have a good chance of getting big winnings directly in the main game, before the activation of the On Tour Bonus. At any point in the game, after a random spin, the Wheelmobile Wilds Feature can be activated.

The only caveat is that there should not be a scatter on the 1st reel. So, as soon as the feature is activated, the yellow bus will drive onto the grid and leave 1-4 wilds behind, guaranteeing you a win as the wild is still the most valuable symbol in this slot.

Review Summary

It seems to us that, this time, the provider has given all the best - not every game can offer such an abundance of functions. The travel theme is thought out to the smallest detail, as the symbols represent the journey through the States, while the main bonus feature allows you to track your progress. The Bonus Wheel is generous not only with cash payouts but also with additional features. Extremely valuable wilds will tirelessly help you in the main game - all this, taking into account the average volatility and 96.6% RTP, simply cannot leave you without pleasant winnings!

On the other hand, the game is quite noisy and loud, and you won't be able to relax much in it, because your jerrycans are filling up, as a result of which more and more bonuses are unlocked. On the one hand, it sounds cool, but not all are fans of such craziness. Therefore, if you're a fan of more soothing, classic games, you might want to hold off on this American tour.

Pros

• RTP of 96.6% is above average
• Wilds are the most expensive symbols (pay up to 2,500 credits), and scatters are responsible for triggering several bonus features
• The Wheelmobile Wilds Feature awards up to 4 wilds at random spin
• Plenty of features - thanks to the Bonus Wheel, which is triggered during the On Tour Bonus Feature

Cons

• That lot of bonuses is not everyone’s cup of tea
• No turbo mode
