Wheel of Fortune Slot Machine Bonus Round

The spinning of the reels on the Wheel of Fortune slot machine game is not the source of the excitement. The excitement comes from the bonus round, when you get to spin the big wheel above the game.

When you hit the bonus feature the bells on the machine go off, and the machine broadcasts the audience shouting out the word "Wheel..of...Fortune!" Rest assured that other slot players and casino-goers will stop to watch the action at this point, too. Everyone loves to see a player hit a big progressive jackpot, and the jackpots on the Wheel of Fortune often exceed the six figure mark.

Spinning the Wheel of Fortune is one of two ways to win the big progressive jackpot. You can also win by landing on a combination of five big spin wheels in a row on the actual slot machine component of the game. The LCD screen above the machines displays the amount of the progressive jackpot constanlty.

Online Wheel of Fortune Slots

Wheel of Fortune slot machines online are only available at WagerWorks powered casinos, like Virgin Games. (WagerWorks holds the online license for all of the IGT developed slot machine games.) Unfortunately, if you're a player in the USA, WagerWorks won't accept real-money play from you. They cater almost exclusively to UK customers.

These games are available at Microgaming and Vegas Technology powered casinos, and are almost identical in terms of gameplay to the Wheel of Fortune slot machines found in casinos. The main difference is the lack of Pat Sajak, Vanna White, and the specific Wheel of Fortune sound effects.

Online Wheel of Fortune slot machine type games are available in denominations ranging from a penny a spin up to $10 a spin. Online jackpots on these games sometimes reach as high as $150,000.
