Microgaming New Wheel of Wishes Progressive Slot & News of Upcoming Tarzan Adventure
Make a date in your diary – February 11th, because this is the day the brand-new Microgaming powered progressive jackpot slot is set to go live across the network and it’s packed with winning opportunities. Developed by Alchemy Gaming exclusively for the Isle of Man based software provider, the latest addition to their growing portfolio of games is set to be a thriller.
The captivating Wheel of Wishes video slot features 5-rels and 10 win lines, as well as enticing features and potentially life-changing jackpots. Immersive gameplay is guaranteed with a dazzling soundtrack and stunning graphics. Set against the sands of Arabia with genie lamps and mystical symbols, you could just find that your wishes really do come true.
Packed into the 5x reel engine are stacked wilds which race along the reels hoping to land. Scatters unlock the coveted power spin which transform reels one and five into identical high-paying stacked symbols. Giant symbols then form across the centre reels affording players the chance to land a full matching reel set – aka, huge win potential.
Should you be lucky enough to land a colossal 3×3 symbol in the centre grid during the power spin, you’ll be awarded the Wheel of Wishes Jackpot Bonus – this guarantees a chance to win one of the four jackpots; mini, minor, major or the newly reformed WowPot (starts at €2m).
