Wheel of Wishes slot: Get exclusive access to the game now!

There's some big news for progressive jackpot slot fans eagerly awaiting the release of the Wheel of Wishes slot from Alchemy Gaming, as part of their deal with Microgaming.

The good news is that we now have an official release date for the slot, which has been confirmed to be available on general release as of the 11^th February 2020.

So that means it is now under a month until many slot players will be able to have their first official taste of this brand new slot, but there is good news for a small and select group of players and that is that if you are a member of Jackpot City Casino, Spin Casino, or Royal Vegas Casino, then you have special dispensation to play the Wheel of Wishes slot early!

These casinos are now offering players the chance to play the game for a few weeks exclusively, before it goes on general release. Not only is this a coup for those casinos, but it is also a positive thing for Alchemy Gaming and Microgaming as they will then be able to gauge from the play on the slot on the site, just how their new creation is performing and perhaps crucially, whether it is performing as expected.

Not everyone can sign up with these casinos as they are restricted geographically as to who can sign up for them *. So for many punters such as those from the United Kingdom and a few others regions will have to wait to get to play the new slot on February 11^th. However, given that the Wheel of Wishes slot is going to establish a long list of firsts for a progressive jackpot slot, it is certainly going to be a slot worth waiting for.

We'll have all the latest news on the Wheel of Wishes, so keep checking MegaMoolah.com for information.

Wheel of Wishes slot lists of firsts

So what are the things that the Wheel of Wishes slot will be the first to offer to customers when it goes on general release on the 11^th February? We have provided you with a detailed list of what makes this slot so special when compared to other similar games.

• First 2 Million seeded Wowpot Jackpot prize

We all know that the Mega Moolah slot was the first game from Microgaming to offer a seeded jackpot prize of a million. Sure, other games, such as Major Millions, could see their progressive jackpots grow from a smaller amount to over a million in time (as has happened at the time of writing coincidentally), but Mega Moolah was the first game to guarantee at least a million to the top progressive prize winner each time.

The new Wheel of Wishes progressive however will have double that amount of seed money in the top progressive jackpot prize pool, the Wowpot. Seeded at 2 million, it is going to be hugely interesting to see how often this jackpot is paid out over the first 12 months of operation to see whether this is a jackpot that could, potentially, challenge the largest ever wins on a progressive jackpot slot in history.

• Huge secondary Major Jackpot

It is tempting to think that the 2 million guaranteed in the Wowpot jackpot is the only big thing about the Wheel of Wishes slot but it is not and that is because the next biggest jackpot prize, the Major Jackpot is to be seeded at a massive 50,000 each time it is won in full.

To put that amount in perspective, the Mega Moolah Major jackpot prize is seeded at 10,000. Therefore the second biggest jackpot prize on the Wheel of Wishes slot is going to be five times larger than the seed amount for Mega Moolah.

This means that rather than just one jackpot prize that could see you land a life-changing amount of money, the chances are that if the Major jackpot on Wheel of Wishes slot can grow for a while, we are likely to see regular prizes of well over 50,000 and perhaps well over 100,000. That is an exciting prospect for slots players.

• Free Play available

One of the biggest issues players had with Mega Moolah was the fact that every spin on the slot had to be a paid spin. You could not find a free to play version of the Mega Moolah slot anywhere online (despite it being one of the most searched for items for slots players). That still holds true today where every spin on the Mega Moolah slot is a real spin and could be a winner.

However, Wheel of Wishes has been designed so that there is a free-to-play version of the slot available to trial (and if you search around for it online, it is relatively easy to find a demo version to play).

One word of caution here is to say that while there may be a demo version of the slot available online, this doesn't necessarily mean it is set up exactly the same as the slot you will play for real money. The demo version may be tweaked so that you can preview some of the features of the slot more easily.

This is of course great news for players that want to see what the Wheel of Wishes slot looks, sounds and plays like before they decide to spend any of their own cash playing the game.

• Bonus Spins can be offered by casinos

In the past casinos, such as those on the Casino Rewards network could only offer bonus spins on the Mega Moolah slot by handing over bonus cash to players, which the players then used on the game, which is because the casinos could not credit bonus spins solely for Mega Moolah to a players account.

However, with Wheel of Wishes, casinos are now able to hand over bonus spins to players, which could make a significant difference when it comes to the sign up offers available over the coming months. As such, it is a good idea to keep your eyes peeled on these offers to see if any Wheel of Wishes specific offers are made available, perhaps with just such the bonus spins mentioned here.

• Low starting bet for spins and wider price range for spins

The minimum starting bet to trigger the progressive jackpot prize on the Mega Moolah slot was 0.25 and that is a very low price for a progressive jackpot game. However, Wheel of Wishes promises to be even better value for money for lower stakes punters with the new game offering spins from just 0.10 per spin.

However, the good news is that the upper limit for betting on the Wheel of Wishes slot has been increased to 25.00, which is great news for those mid to higher stakes players who prefer to bet more per spin, to increase their chances of triggering the jackpot prize. Which brings us neatly onto another new feature on the slot.

• Power Mode

The key to unlocking the progressive jackpot prizes on the Wheel of Wishes slot is triggering the Power Mode. In the base game, you need to land two of the Power Spin scatter symbols anywhere across the reels to trigger one Power Mode spin, in which you could land a shot at the Jackpot Bonus game.

However, if you are prepared to bet 10x your standard stake, you can activate Power Mode on every spin and thus, every spin you play could be the one that triggers the Jackpot Bonus game, or which could see you win a decent amount of cash from the bonus feature.

By giving the players the option to play in Power Mode or Standard Mode, Wheel of Wishes takes Progressive Slot jackpot gaming to a new level, offering players a choice of ways to play the game, based primarily on how much they want to spend per spin.

With so many exciting new features, it is not difficult to see why so many people are eagerly awaiting the launch of Wheel of Wishes. Will you be one of the first to play this exciting new Microgaming progressive?
