INTRODUCTION
Pragmatic Play’s Mega Wheel takes us back to the traditional formula set by Dreamcatcher many years ago. Evolution’s lucky wheel titles have gone the route of complex special features, which are not everyone’s cup of tea. The developer offers those punters something simpler, while still providing a cash prize up to 500:1. The visual quality is excellent, provided your internet can handle it.
If you play it carefully and get lucky, your expected RTP will be 96.51%. It does not have standard side bets. Instead, every spin has a chance of awarding an increased reward on standard wheel segments you play.
HOW TO PLAY MEGA WHEEL
Mega Wheel is played on a colourful, fifty-four segment wheel. There are nine different numbers on a said wheel: one, two, five, eight, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty and forty. Our goal as players is to predict what number will be drawn by the wheel, and bet accordingly. You get a brief betting period where you get to decide what numbers you want to play.
You can decide to set different coin values to different bets. This is something we suggest you do, as not all bets appear as often. The number one appears in twenty segments, which means it has the highest chance to be won. Meanwhile, numbers thirty and forty only appear once on the fifty-four segment wheel. If you want to play it safe, you would place smaller bets on rarer numbers.
EXTRA FEATURES
As we already mentioned, Pragmatic Play decided to go the simpler route with this release. This means there is only one special feature available in Mega Wheel: multipliers! When a multiplier will appear, and by how much it will increase a payout are both random. However, the developers did add a maximum multiplier value.
| Number | Number of segments | Maximum multiplier | Win probability |
| 1 | |||
| 2 | 200x | 24.07% | |
| 5 | 12.96% | ||
| 8 | 7.40% | ||
| 10 | 7.40% | ||
| 15 | 3.70% | ||
| 20 | 3.70% | ||
| 30 | 1.85% | ||
| 1.85% |
As you can see in the table above, the rarer a number is, the better its win multiplier can be. This is something you should keep in mind when thinking about what numbers to play. Furthermore, remember that you are not guaranteed to receive the maximum multiplier. You could get a smaller one, even if you are playing the rarest numbers.
PAYOUTS
Thankfully, there is no bonus bet you have to play in order to be eligible for multipliers. This means every spin of the wheel has a chance to bring you a 500x payout. Assuming you played those numbers, of course! Outside of multipliers, all numbers grant their face value as a payout. This means number one is worth 1:1, two is worth 2:1, and so on. The top non-multiplier prize is 40:1, granted by betting on the number forty.
what we like
