Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches Slot Review

Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

This Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches slot is played on a 5 reel, 4 row machine that’s made up of 30 paylines. Winning combinations are created by landing 3 or more matching symbols or wilds from left to right on any of those 30 paylines, starting from reel 1.

You can play at stake levels of between 75p and £150 per spin. There’s an autoplay option if required too. This lets you run up to 50 autospins, complete with adjustable win and loss stop limits.

The Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches RTP is 96.15% which is just above the norm. The volatility is in the medium range, so it offers a balanced range of payouts. The max win is £1,000.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – based on the game show  

Like other games in the series, the Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches slot is based on the Wheel of Fortune game show. There’s flashy, high def look to the visuals. The design is just as brash as you’d expect. Likewise, the bouncy soundtrack and the inane shouts from the audience. Subtle this isn’t.

Set against a velvety red backdrop, the reels are made up of A to 10 royals, a silver brooch, an ornate ring and a shimmering ruby. These 3 symbols all pay 2.67 x stake if you manage to land a 5-of-a-kind combination.  There’s also a wild that can land anywhere apart from reel 1

There’s also an assortment of treasure chests and scatters which trigger the game’s features. Look out too for gold coins which come with a cash value attached. These become active when the Ca$hLink Deluxe feature is in play (more info below).

IGT has created versions of Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches for smartphones and tablets as well as desktop devices. The simple design and straightforward gameplay suit the small screen rather well. The Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches mobile slot is a perfectly playable one.

Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches Bonus Features

There are 3 features on offer in Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches. Complementing the free spins and the wheel bonus is the Ca$hLink Deluxe feature which awards coin scatter prizes and also offers a chance to scoop one of 5 potential jackpot prizes.

Ca$hLink Deluxe feature

The Ca$hLink Deluxe feature can trigger on any spin where the Treasure Chest appears on reel 5 and there are no Wheel of Fortune coin scatters on reel 1.

All the coin scatters on display on that spin come with a cash value attached. These are then added together to give you a total prize. You could also reveal a coin which awards the Mini, Minor, Major, Mega or Grand Jackpot prize. These offer the following prizes:

• Mini Jackpot: 8.33 x stake
• Minor Jackpot: 25 x stake
• Major Jackpot: 41.66 x stake
• Mega Jackpot: 83.33 x stake
• Grand Jackpot: 150 x stake

Wheel Bonus feature

The Wheel Bonus feature triggers when you land a Wheel of Fortune Coin scatter symbol on reel 1 and the Treasure Chest on reel 5. First, the Ca$hLink value is established by adding together all the values from the coin scatters on show. The wheel then spins.

If a pointer lands on a 5x, 10x or 20x segments, the value of the Ca$hLink is boosted by that amount. You can land more than 1 pointer multiplier on a single spin. If that happens, the values of the multipliers are added togethers. You can also land a jackpot prize if the pointer stops on a jackpot segment during the Wheel Bonus. This is worth £1,000.

Free Spins Bonus feature

Landing the Free Spins Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 activates the game’s Free Spins Bonus feature. Your reward here is 10 free spins. Retriggers are possible too, offering a maximum of 200 free spins.

You can also trigger the Ca$hLink Deluxe feature from within the free spins. Just like in standard play, the value of all the coin scatters is awarded if you manage to trigger the Ca$hLink.

Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches Review Summary – disappointing 

The Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches slot is a brash, flashy and rather in your face type of game, in terms of theme and design at least. I’ve seen similar features in plenty of other slots but the combination of scatter coin collects, free spins and a spin the wheel the bonus which offers a shot at landing a potential jackpot prize is a decent one.

It certainly won’t be for everyone but if your TV viewing includes the classic gameshow, Wheel of Fortune: Ruby Riches is one to consider. That said, the high minimum stake of 75p a spin will put most players off.

However, the Wheel of Fortune Megaways slot (which was produced with Big Time Gaming) is much better as it offers a familiar format and 80,150 x stake max wins. You can also check out IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Lucky Coins on Stage.
