The Wheel of Fear

Theme & Atmosphere

The Wheel of Fear is a horror slot, with hooks, chains, and blood-stained tiles surrounding the grid. The gameboard itself resembles a torture device, with each spin providing plenty of spooky animations and background sounds. So, if you’re faint of heart, you might want to keep the lights on and the volume at a minimum while you play the game. 

Feature Overview

Each win you land across the reels triggers an instant cascade. Winning symbols disappear, and new ones appear in their place. The central position acts as an independent spot, hosting regular and special symbols. Land Multipliers from 1x to 100x and the Unlock symbol in the central position for an instant prize. 

Score at least 5 Unlocked Multipliers to trigger the Wheel Bonus. Here, you get 3 respins, resetting with each new symbol on the reels. Collect 5 Multipliers to unlock an extra position on the Hell Cog for more Multiplier-boosting modifiers: Ghost, Amplifier, Transfusion, Echo, and Surge. 

Technical Specs & Mechanics

The Wheel of Fear slot comes with 5 reels and 5 rows. There are no paylines in the game; instead, it uses a Symbols Pay Anywhere mechanic. You need 7 or more matching icons on the reels to get a payout. The Multipliers only become active in base play if the Unlock symbol appears. 

Bet & Paytable Analysis

You can play The Wheel of Fear slot with bets ranging from 0.20 up to 200 per spin. The Torture Device symbols award the lowest payouts, from 1x to 2x, when 10 or more land across the reels. The character icons offer bigger payouts, awarding 2.5x up to 50x for 10 matches on the screen. In the Wheel Bonus, the Hell Cog modifiers all either award or boost Multipliers. These Multipliers pay up to 100x, and the top payout in the game sits at 15,000x.
