The set up is a rather familiar one by now - played using 6-reels, each reel may randomly generate between 2-7 symbols on each spin to produce up to 117,649 ways to win when fully expanded. Naturally, thrills, visuals and audio undergo a transformation when free spins are triggered. Anyone planning to relive the extravagance of the 70s or 80s will need to tone down their expectations a notch or two. The symbols are pretty plain, as is the backing track which includes a bit of random casino ambience. That's not necessarily BTG's fault though, since they have simply recreated the show in its modern incarnation which is far more tasteful than earlier seasons. There is a touch of glitz from the pink and purple neon, but on the whole, it is quite restrained. However, Big Time Gaming has adopted a slightly reserved approach.

It might have been tempting with a show as glamourous as Wheel of Fortune to design something over the top bursting forth glitter from every direction.

Continuing on that tradition, IGT has now teamed up with Big Time Gaming to give us Wheel of Fortune Megaways, thus adding the successful Megaways mechanic to the equation. Over the years, developer IGT has released several slot machine versions of the mega-popular TV-show - both physical and online. The show debuted back in 1975, churning through a host of big-name presenters oozing charm through perma-smiles and leggy ladies whose job it was to reveal letters. It's got a bit of everything, - puzzle-solving, random spins of the wheel, and of course, shopping.

Dubbed 'America's Show', Wheel of Fortune is a game show that glorifies consumer culture like nothing else and feels like it's been around forever.
