Wheel of Wishes Slot Review — RTP, Features & Where to Play

Wheel of Wishes

Alchemy Gaming · 2020

A 5×3 Arabian fantasy slot from Alchemy Gaming with 10 fixed paylines on the WowPot progressive jackpot network. Two or more scatters trigger a single Power Spin where the three middle reels collapse into one giant 3×3 symbol block — if the Jackpot Bonus Scatter fills that block, a guaranteed spin of the Wheel of Wishes jackpot wheel follows. Power Mode converts every spin into a Power Spin. WowPot seeds at €2M; largest recorded hit: €38.4M.

About the game

Wheel of Wishes is Alchemy Gaming's February 2020 Arabian fantasy slot, distributed through Games Global on the WowPot four-tier progressive jackpot network. The 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines features a genie lamp, purple amulets, treasure chests and golden scarabs against a sand-dune palace backdrop. Stacked Wild symbols substitute for all pay symbols and pay 50× bet for five of a kind.

The Power Spin mechanic is the gateway to the jackpot. Landing two or more Bonus Wheel scatter symbols on any spin awards one Power Spin — the three middle reels (2, 3 and 4) collapse into a single giant 3×3 symbol block displaying one enlarged symbol, while reels 1 and 5 each fill with a stacked high-value symbol. If the enlarged symbol in the 3×3 block is the Jackpot Bonus Scatter, the Wheel of Wishes jackpot wheel activates: players spin a 20-segment wheel that guarantees a payout at one of the four WowPot tiers. The WowPot segment (one of 20) seeds at €2M and can grow to record-breaking totals — the largest hit was €38.4M in December 2023.

Power Mode is an optional buy feature that converts every spin into a Power Spin for 10× the normal stake, dramatically accelerating jackpot exposure. Standard play RTP is 93.34%; Power Mode RTP is 92.24%.

Frequently asked questions

How do Power Spins work?

Landing 2 or more Bonus Wheel scatters anywhere on a standard spin awards one Power Spin. Reels 2, 3 and 4 merge into a single 3×3 enlarged symbol zone. If the Jackpot Bonus Scatter fills that zone, the Wheel of Wishes jackpot wheel activates.

What is Power Mode?

An optional feature that makes every spin a Power Spin at a cost of 10× the base stake. This increases the rate at which the jackpot wheel can trigger. Power Mode has a slightly lower RTP of 92.24% vs the standard game's 93.34%.

Is winning the WowPot jackpot guaranteed once the wheel spins?

No — the wheel guarantees a win at one of the four jackpot tiers (Mini, Minor, Major, WowPot), but which tier depends on which segment the wheel lands on. The WowPot segment is one of 20, making it the rarest outcome.

What is the RTP?

93.34% in standard play (including 5.30% jackpot contribution). Power Mode RTP is 92.24%.

Is this slot legal to play in Ontario?

Yes — provided you play at an iGaming Ontario / AGCO-licensed operator. The casinos listed above are Ontario-licensed. Playing on unregulated international sites from within Ontario is not legal and offers no consumer protections.
