This version of the Wheel of Chance slot machine is a basic three reel slot that has a single payline going across the middle of the three reels. It's a pretty good example of a "classic" slot machine.

There are plenty of symbols on the reels, and a couple of cool features on this slot machine. You'll find cherries, bars, diamonds, the familiar red sevens, and a bonus wheel.
The cherries are the friendliest symbol on the reels. Finding even one cherry on the payline results in a winner, so even if the first two reels land on an empty space, all hope is not lost for the spin. I like slots where you have at least a chance at your money back by landing that "rescue' symbol at the end.
The bars can be combined to land some basic winning combinations, and the sevens and diamonds kick in for some of the better paying combos. The diamonds are a powerful symbol because they can be a Wild symbol as well, depending on the number of coins you've wagered on the spin.
The Coins:
The machine will let you set the coin size you'd like to use for wagering. At English Harbour the coins can be set as low as a dime, or as high as $10 each.
This version of the Wheel of Chance slot is a three coin game, so you can - and should - wager three coins per spin. Unlike a lot of slots, there is no payout advantage to wagering max coins on this game. It's not like they've incread the payout for landing the big winner if you're playing three coins instead of two. but, they've done something else to encourage you to play max coins.
Wagering the third coin turns the diamond symbol into a WILD Symbol - actually into a multiplying WILD symbol. So, you can then use diamonds to substitute for other symbols to help land winning combinations. And, the value of those winners will be double if you use one wild symbol to create them, and multiplied by four if you use TWO wild symbols to create them.
That's quite a bit of power you'll get for wagering that extra coin - so play max bet on this machine!
Also - wagering the third coin on this game adds the "Bonus" symbol to the reels. And since the Bonus Game is why we're playing this machine, we pretty much have to play all three coins on this game.

The Bonus Game is the big fun of this slot. A "Wheel of Chance" appears, and players get the opportunity to spin the wheel and when it stops players earn the number of credits on the wheel. After the first spin some winning slices of the wheel are replaced with "Bust" symbols.
Players can keep spinning and add to their winnings until they decide to stop and claim their prize, or until the hit a Bust symbol. Each time a player respins and wins more credits, more slices of the wheel are replaced with Bust symbols, so it gets harder the farther you go into the Bonus Game.
If you bust out, and I have more than once, you get a consolation prize for your efforts.
This slot takes a little of the flavor of the Wheel of Fortune Slot games and puts it togehter in an online slot machine that U.S. players can enjoy.
