Game overview
Wheel of Fortune is a slot game developed by International Game Technology (IGT) and is widely recognised for its iconic bonus wheel mechanic. Originally launched in land-based casinos, the game has been adapted for digital platforms while maintaining its core design.
The base game operates on fixed paylines with symbols representing various thematic elements. Standard line wins form the core gameplay, while the signature Wheel of Fortune bonus feature is triggered by specific symbol combinations.
During the bonus feature, a large wheel is spun to award multipliers, free spins or jackpot prizes. This mechanic concentrates a portion of the game’s potential outcomes into feature rounds, adding variability and excitement without altering the underlying probability model.
Wheel of Fortune is generally classified as a medium-to-high volatility slot. Base game outcomes occur with moderate frequency, while bonus rounds introduce higher variability. These characteristics are governed by the game’s internal mathematical model.
From a technical perspective, the game uses a random number generator (RNG) to ensure that all spin outcomes and feature events are independent and determined within fixed rules.
