[bonustable num=6 orderby=’_as_rating’ tag=’Play’n GO’ version=’2′ ]Derby Wheel slot features
The gameplay offers 2 major bonus features in its grid with 3 reels and 3 rows. Starting with the Scatter symbols its major features include the Fortune Wheel, Horse Racing, and Big Wheel. Depending on your luck, one of these major features is randomly awarded once you trigger the bonus game.
Scatter Symbol
Derby Wheel doesn’t have a Wild symbol on its paytable so its bonus features are centered on the Scatter symbol only. This Scatter symbol shows up as the Jockey on a horse against the Derby Wheel. This special symbol triggers all bonus features in the game. Thus, it is the most important symbol on the grid that can help you land bigger wins.
Fortune Wheel
As mentioned above, the bonus game starts once you land at least 3 Scatter symbols on the same spin. These Scatter symbols activate the Fortune Wheel feature which is divided between 2 segments. These segments include the Horse Racing and Big Wheel features. Once the Fortune Wheel stops spinning at one of these 2 segments. Thus, one of these features is randomly triggered on each round:
Horse Racing
Once this feature is triggered, you can choose up to 3 horses. Each horse in the race awards a different amount of prize to the winners. All prizes in this feature are multiplied if you choose multiple horses and finish in the same order. Depending on where you place your bet, these are the possible outcomes of each match and their prizes:
- Trifecta (high volatility) = pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd horse in the exact order and get a reward worth 2,800x your stake
- Exacta (medium volatility) = pick the 1st and 2nd horse in exact order and get a reward worth 1,800x your stake
- Win (low volatility) = pick the winning horse and get a reward worth 800x your bet
- No Bet (guaranteed payout) = skip the race and get a 50x the stake reward
Whether you opt to join the race or not, this feature still awards at least 40x your stake.
Big Wheel
The Big Wheel is the second bonus feature that is triggered through the Fortune Wheel. This feature gives players 1 chance to spin the Big Wheel for a chance to win the Multipliers. This feature can either lead you to the Horse Racing feature if you land in the Horse Racing segment or pay you directly.
Derby Wheel RTP, volatility and prizes
Surprisingly, Derby Wheel has 5 pay lines only compared to other Play’n GO slots we reviewed. Thus, it also requires a very low minimum bet per spin which is set at £0.05 only. Each pay line pays 3 to 5 matching symbols per spin. For high rollers, Derby Wheel’s betting range is set up to a maximum of £100 per spin.
It is also available in various RTP ratings from 96.20% down to 94%, 91%, 87%, or 84%. This means that you can play this slot with various return ratings depending on the casino operator’s preference. Moreover, this slot has medium-high volatility with 7 out of 10 ratings. Thus, expect some dry spells throughout the game.
But the wait can be worth a shot once you hit the biggest jackpot worth up to 2,800x the stake. Its regular symbols include the classic Cherries, Lemons, Plums, BARs, and Lucky 7s that pay 1x to 5x the stake.
Conclusion
Derby Wheel proved that it is possible to enjoy slot and horse racing at the same time. It’s also a plus point that this slot has a great 3D design enhanced by the bright neon lights. Thus, Derby Wheel offers an interesting gaming experience mixed with a game show element. However, it’s not the game for you if you’re looking for jaw-dropping rewards and Bonus Spins. Aside from its impressive looks, Derby Wheel is still very basic compared to other Play’n GO slots.
