International Game Technology is a seasoned veteran when it comes to pokie machines, as it has secured several large franchises since it launched in the 1980’s. One of these franchises has paid off more than almost any other, and that franchise is Wheel of Fortune.
You cannot walk through a land casino without seeing IGT powered Wheel of Fortune pokie, as these games have proven to be so successful that they have taken a large market share in land casinos. Thus, it is no surprise that we are seeing many varieties of Wheel of Fortune pokies online. Are the games any good, or are they a poor representation of a popular land casino classic?
Read on to find out.
Wheel of Fortune: Triple Action Frenzy was designed by IGT several years ago, and it definitely shows. The game is an accurate representation of the classic game show, but does look dated, especially when you compare the game to recent releases.
Animations are also a bit shallow and limited, offering very little in terms of extra movement. Some symbols do move a bit, but they really aren’t anything special when it comes down to it.
I had fun playing Wheel of Fortune: Triple Action Frenzy, but soon got bored by the lack of features. The game is a 5 reel, 15-payline game that features a Pick’em Bonus as well as Free Spins.
I didn’t hit the bonus rounds very often, which is probably why I got bored so quickly, but when they did hit I ended up scoring some nice wins. Spicing things up a bit is a Gamble Feature, but I felt this mode was a bit long and even that bored me a bit.
I played Wheel of Fortune: Triple Action Frenzy for about 15 minutes before moving on, and ended up losing $30 in that brief period.
Wheel of Fortune: Triple Action Frenzy is a decent game that doesn’t do anything too special. I like the Wheel of Fortune franchise, but wish that IGT could put something out that is more fun than this. I’d go with the other Wheel games before you give this game a try.
