How to Play Mega Wheel

Numbers & wheel segments

The Mega Wheel is dived into 54 segments in different colours with the following 9 numbers: 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40.
So the numbers split across segments is as follows:

  • 1 appears 20 times with a payout of 1:1
  • 2 appears 13 times with a payout of 2:1
  • 5 appears 7 times with a payout of 5:1
  • 8 appears 4 times with a payout of 8:1
  • 10 appears 4 times with a payout of 10:1
  • 15 appears 2 times with a payout of 15:1
  • 20 appears 2 times with a payout of 20:1
  • 30 appears 1 time with a payout of 30:1
  • 40 appears 1 times with a payout of 40:1

If you for example bet R20 on number 8 and the wheel stops on this segment you will get you bet multiplied x8 which results in a R160 payout for you (R20 x8 = R160).

Different numbers are available more often than others on the wheel which is also reflected in the respective payouts. Therefore, the less frequent numbers 30 and 40 pay out the most.

Multipliers

Mega Wheel offers multipliers up to 500 times. While this is the maximum in reality the multipliers are different for the various number segments:

  • Number 1 has a maximum multiplier of 100x
  • 2 has a multiplier of max. 200x
  • Numbers 5, 8 as well as 10 have max. multipliers of 250x
  • 15, 20, 30 and also 40 have the biggest maximum multiplier of 500x

Betting options

Playing Mega Wheel is very easy, and hence betting is straightforward.
Firstly, the aim of the game is to predict the number of the segment the wheel is going to stop after spinning. So you have 15 seconds to place your bet(s) in between spins.

In total you have 9 betting options available: you can bet on any of the 9 single numbers, pick more than just one number or or bet on all numbers. So with ‘Bet on All’ you cover all 9 possible bets with just 1 click.

Does Mega Wheel sound so far very familiar? It is pretty close to Dreamcatcher but has one special extra: With every spin and every round one number on the wheel is randomly selected to be the Mega Lucky Number. Therefore this multiplier can boost your winnings up to 500 time your bet value.

While Evolution Live Games are on the forefront and have set the benchmark in this area Mega Wheel is the first venture by Pragmatic Play into game show content and we think it is definitely a good one.
