Free Spirit Wheel of Wealth Slots
Spin like the wind with Free Spirit Wheel of Wealth, a 3-reel slot machine with 1 payline that was designed and delivered by Microgaming software. The game takes on a American style theme which celebrates to beauty and nobility of wild horses running the plains of the great Midwest while still retaining some degree of traditional charm thanks to a series of classic slot machine icons.
The game plays like a vintage arcade classic too, with no extravagant and newfangled bonus elements to speak of. That said, there are a couple of basic bonus features which will help players to boost their betting balances, such as a wild symbol which will multiply players' wins and a simple wheel of fortune side game.
A slot with classic spirit
If there is one classic image that sums up the spirit of America, then it would be the sight of wild horses running freely through the a landscape of magnificent mountains and tall fir trees. That is exactly what punters can expect when they load up Free Spirit Wheel of Wealth, which has a game screen that features that exact image upon a sunset orange background. There is even a silhouetted image of a soaring eagle, just to give the game that extra feeling of natural freedom.
The game isn't all about running wild through the mountains, however, because it also plays host to a series of truly traditional slot machine symbols. We're talking about single, double and triple BAR icons as well as some lucky number 7s presented in shining chrome for a touch of glitzy glamour.
Traditional yet unconventional
Other than the odd dose of metallic blue, this game isn't going to overawe many spinners out there, especially when it is compared to other slot machines from Microgaming's contemporary catalogue. That is because the slot is rendered completely in two dimensions with no particularly special animations to lift the reels from the game screen. Although, having said that, this game does offer something slightly different from the status quo considering that most games of the same 3-reel format tend to settle for a conventional fruit machine design.
Reels of wealth
As with most 3-reel games out there, Free Spirit Wheel of Wealth is very straightforward to play. All that players have to do is choose whether to play with 1 or 2 coins with the following range of credit options: 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 and 5.00. Doing this will cause the slot machine's paytable (shown alongside the reels on the main game screen) to be highlighted according to the number of coins in play. As you can see in the table below, playing with 2 coins appears to award higher multiplier prizes. However, the multipliers are only applied to one coin, meaning that the majority of the wins give the same prize return in proportion to the overall value of the wagers that are placed. That is except for the game's biggest jackpot win of 5,000x which is awarded when 2 coins are staked and three “Free Spirit” logo icons align.
Spin the wheel for extra wins
Not only does that Free Spirit logo icon offer the slot machine's most lucrative prize return with a 5,000x payout potential, but it will also help players to complete line wins for all other symbols in the paytable above. This wild icon is very useful indeed since it will actually double the value of the standard payout value when one helps to create a winning sequence. If two wilds are involved in a win, then the payout will be quadrupled in size.
That isn't the only way in which punters can boost their wins in Free Spirit Wheel of Wealth. That is because, as the name might well suggest, the slot machine features a special wheel spin bonus game that is triggered whenever a “Spin” icon appears on the 3rd reel. This bonus element is only active whenever 2 coins are in play, but it might just be worth it since it offers extra wins up to 1,000 coins.
Spins with spirit
Perhaps you are a fan of retro slot machines and you are looking for something with a unique and carefree theme to mix things up. Or perhaps you are a seasoned video slot machine who is after a 3-reel game that still throws up some bonus gameplay capabilities. Well, if you fall into any of those brackets then you wouldn't go too wrong with this spirited slot machine by Microgaming.
