Money Wheel
What would happen if you combined the betting style from Blackjack, the spinning disk from wheel of fortune and a number based landing system like in Roulette? The answer, is the new table game from Play N Go, Money Wheel, so far aimed at the Asian markets, we will hopefully see it here soon also.
One advantage of online table games versus their land casino counterparts is that game developers are free to play around with mechanics and deliver you a new table game experience without all the physical hassle and training dealers which would result in the live casino.
Basics
Money Wheel is a vertical wheel of fortune with a four point stopper and a peg at the top – the format is really easy to see, not only that, unlike more complicated table games you have a choice of only 7 symbols on which the wheel can stop, this really lowers the overall volatility!
The symbols pay out as follows:
- Star: 45 to 1
- Joker: 45 to 1
- 20: 20 to 1
- 10: 10 to 1
- 5: 5 to 1
- 3: 3 to 1
- 1: 1 to 1
The fact the numbers on the board correspond to the odds directly for 5 out of the 7 symbols means that you only really need to remember the value of joker symbol (represented by a dragon on he game) and the star, both of which are the hot prizes to be won.
Gameplay
Bets can be placed with chips on the virtual felt table, you place bets on markers just like in Blackjack, then, spin the wheel and wait for the result.
It’s a simple game, even by table game standards, the low variance will appeal to players looking to try a table game for the first time, or who hate the odds of hitting specific numbers in a more traditional game like roulette, high rollers will likely steer well clear.
The chips on display will mark your currency accurately if you play in GBP/USD or Euro, however some currencies such as Swedish Kroner will be utilising a 10x multiplier, so, if you are a player from a country using another currency, take a quick flick at the games paytable to see exactly what will apply to you.
Summary
With a minimum and maximum RTP of 80% and 92%, and an average standing at 88%, it’s clear that hitting the big win isn’t going to happen that often, the game does have its opportunities though, perhaps for slots players looking for an entry into the wonderful world of table games which you don’t find in the casino, like Spingo for example.
The max bet sizing does allow for high rollers to dabble if they wish to play something straightforward and simple, the max bet on the game is forecast to be 500 credits whilst the minimum is just one.
