Wheel of Wishes Details 
Wheel of Wishes is set in a desert, you can almost feel the sand between your toes. This low volatility jackpot slot machine game has an Arabic theme that comes straight from a fairy tale book with a background that ranges from golden desert dunes to a treasure chest bursting at the seams. An energetic soundtrack in the style of “Arabian Nights” completes the desert atmosphere.
The reels are rather simple, but in contrast, vivid symbols spinning over them. The main attraction of this slot is jackpot games, with wilds, a power spins mode and a jackpot wheel that will help you get closer to the massive cash prizes. It’s worth saying that the Wheel of Wishes slot machine is compatible with all the latest mobile devices.
Graphics. How good the game looks visually:
The design follows the rudimentary look that Microgaming has introduced in recent years. A simple desert scene on a sunny day with some rock formations in the background. Arabic symbols dominate the reels, while the giant Wheel of Wishes hides the secret of winning the large jackpots.
Sound. Background noise and music:
The Wheel of Wishes slot machine has some mesmerizing sound and music effects. I didn’t find it too monotonous and was able to play for a good 2 hours, which says something about the slot, as most slots get a bit boring after an hour after I have muted the sound.
Gameplay. In other words how easy the slot is to play/learn, fun factor, originality:
One of the main concerns when playing a progressive jackpot is the amount of the bet. As is usually the case with jackpot slots, the game is about that bigger bets have a greater chance of triggering the jackpot game. Taking that into account, bets start at 20c per round and can be increased to €20, both the stakes and the changes can be further increased by the power mode function, which we describe below.
Once the bets are set, players click spin to bring the 5-reel, 3-row game to life. The reels are crossed by 10 paylines, with three or more matching symbols causing a payout. Low payout symbols are four colored card colors plus a random pink circle that is thrown in for fun. The bonuses are better, consisting of a purple amulet, blue potions, a green and gold book and a chest full of treasures. At the top of the table is the mythical ghost lamp, which returns 10 times the stake for five of a kind. The joker is better and offers 50 times the bet for a full line, as well as the replacement for any symbol except the scatter.
Interaction. Does the player just press the spin button continuously?

Luck factor. Chances of winning, free spins:
When it comes to numbers, there is only one that drives most players – the jackpot! But let’s look at the statistics that describe the slot machine. First, RTP is on the low side, but not uncommon for this type of slot machine. In the standard mode, it is 94.34%, or 92.21% when the power mode is active. In both cases, the progressive jackpot contributions are included. The volatility is not only low, but officially ’very low’ according to the developer. This means that it takes patience to get anywhere, especially since there are so few functions on board.
Wheel of Wishes Bonus feature 
The landing of 2 wheel spreads triggers the power spins mode. The grid turns into a single, giant 3×3 reel that contains premium symbols and the wheel symbol, which gives you the ability to spin the Wheel of Wishes if you manage to get it in the middle of the reels. As soon as you land the symbol, the Wheel of Wishes appears, divided into 20 colored segments, with a single, golden segment that contains the maximum jackpot price. You will get an attempt to spin the wheel and are guaranteed to win one of the following four progressive jackpot prizes:
- WowPot – starts at $2 million
- Major – starts at $50k
- Minor- starts at $100
- Mini – starts at $10
Min bet 0.10 – Max bet 25.
Wheel of Wishes Power Mode / Power Spins
Did you notice a Power Mode button in the game window? It allows players to activate the Power Spins side bet, where each spin uses huge mega symbols and offers the chance of winning the jackpot. This dramatically increases the chances of the players triggering the progressive bonus. The player’s stake increases 10 times on this side bet. Players can choose to only play in this mode. This feature is activated by placing a side bet, and the increased trigger frequency of the jackpot bonus makes this a perfect game for players who want to get the top prize.
