Get ready for your TV debut, with MegaJackpots Wheel of Fortune on Air! This is part of IGT’s immensely popular MegaJackpots series, which brings you the same great gameplay but also includes a chance to win one of their huge progressive jackpots. Before we get into all that though, let’s first take a look at the paytable and visuals.
Design and Layout
Considering what the game is based on, it isn't hard to guess what the visuals are like in this title. The reel set is quite standard, containing all the symbols, which are depicted well. The background looks like a television studio set in space, with lavish purple dominating the pallet and a starry sky atop it all. The titular Wheel can be found to the left of the reels, with the various benefits you can win from it detailed on the segments in view. There's an audience effect that constantly plays as a backing track, with each win you land drawing rapturous applause.
Bonus Feature
Wheel of Fortune Feature
Now, this wouldn’t be a Wheel of Fortune game if the titular wheel didn’t make an appearance at some point. This isn’t just a cameo either, the device takes centre stage in this slot game. This triggers when you land three or more of the game’s scatter symbol anywhere in view on the reels. This will start a minigame where you must spin the Wheel of Fortune. The more scatter symbols you land, the better bonuses you will have a chance to win. The minimum amount will get you access to the normal wheel, four grant a spin with the Super Wheel, while five will award a spin with the Ultra Wheel.
The wheel is comprised of various segments that will either grant prize multipliers or one of four bonus features:
• Mystery Transform Bonus – depending on the wheel’s level, 6, 11 or 14 new mystery symbols will be added to the reels which will then convert into one specific one. This means a greater chance of landing wins.
• Wild Reel Bonus- This will turn 3, 4 or 5 of the reels completely wild. If you get five of the reels to become wild, then you will receive a 600x your stake payout.
• Re-spin Bonus – You will be granted 3, 4 or 5 re-spins, with the scatter symbols that triggered the round turning into sticky wilds. Additionally, any extra wilds you land for the duration of the re-spins will turn sticky as well.
• Multiplier Bonus- A take multiplier will be applied, worth 10x, in the first wheel level, 50x for the Super Wheel, while the Ultra Wheel will award a very tasty 250x.
MegaJackpots
This bonus is triggered when the Wheel of Fortune bonus lands on the MegaJackpots segment. The wheel will then show 24 unopened envelopes, with a different number of the MegaJackpots hidden depending on the Wheel level; one for the first, two for the second and three for the third. If you land an envelope with the symbol in, then you will be awarded the game’s progressive jackpot.

Malcolm Says…
Just like Lucky, I love a good bonus feature, especially when it offers a variety of benefits. IGT have made a very smart move making the Wheel of Fortune itself the centre of attention, with the show’s premise perfect for the slot’s bonus mechanic. It can be proper useful too, and the unpredictable nature of what you’ll get keeps the gameplay feeling fresh.
Whilst players don’t normally play slots for the jackpots, as actually landing one is very rare, their presence is always appreciated. The great thing about its use in this slot is that it is integrated into the Wheel, making it very much a background effect so you never feel like you’re playing for it. All in all, we think this is a cracking addition to the MegaJackpots line-up, with fully licensed visuals and a well-executed bonus round.
