Reel of Fortune

The Reel of Fortune video slot from Rival is clearly based on two of the most popular slots of all time - Wheel of Fortune and the Price is Right. The name of the game has us expecting a wheel of fortune style game but it is more like the Price is Right in terms of theme and bonus games.

The game uses the popular 5 reel, 20 line format. It has a top jackpot of 1500 credits or 15000 credits at maximum bet. You also have two bonus games with the Curtain Bonus and the Plunko Bonus where you always win at least something when you hit either bonus.

On the reels you have various game show type symbols such as golf clubs, televisions, washing machines, RV's, cars and boats. Unlike most video slots these days there is no wild symbol on Reel of Fortune so for the best jackpots you have to line up five of the same symbols.

The top jackpot of 1500 coins is won by lining up five RV's. The 1500 coin payout is based on one coin per line so if you are playing the maximum of ten you win a nice 15000 coins or between $150 and $1500 depending on the coin size that you choose to play in. Coin sizes range from 1c to 10c.

There are quite a few good mid level pays on Reel of Fortune including 1000 coins for five cars, 800 coins for five boats and several ways to hit for 500 and 400 coins with the lower paying symbols.

The two bonus games offer some big jackpots and both are activated by the scatters. To win the Curtain Bonus you need to get three or more of the Curtain scatter symbols anywhere on the screen. You then move on to the second screen stage where you have three curtains (Screenshot).

Behind two of the curtains are prizes and behind the other is a donkey. You get to keep picking a winning until you reveal the donkey. Bonus pays seem to range from 1400 to about 3000 coins at max bet.

The Plunko Bonus is clearly based on the Plinko Bonus which is found on the Price is Right video slots. You win a shot at the Plunko bonus by getting three or more of the Plunko scatters anywhere on the reels. Once won you move on to another second screen stage (Screenshot).

You click the start button to release the ball which starts falling down the screen. At the halfway point you can choose to nudge the ball one way or another. When the ball reaches the bottom of the screen it land in one of the win spots. You win the amount that your ball lands on up to 10000 credits.

Reel of Fortune is sure to be a hit with players if the success of the Wheel or Fortune and Price is Right slots is anything to go by. If you like playing those games in Vegas then you will like Reel of Fortune online.
