Microgaming Progressive Jackpot Network Adds Wheel of Wishes
In the first 6 months of 2019, Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network (MPJN) paid out €89,879,343 with Mega Moolah the star of the show dishing out a massive €12,328,029.16 jackpot.
While waiting for those elusive figures, progressive jackpot fans will be treated to yet another new addition to the network as Wheel of Wishes joins Microgaming’s PJN on 11 February 2020 courtesy of the Alchemy Gaming development team.
The Wheel of Wishes progressive jackpot slot is a rehash of the already popularly played WowPot which currently pays out an average progressive jackpot of €13,299.13 each month and recorded its largest-ever win on 30 May 2019 which amounted to €27,967.30.
Wheel of Wishes is set to surpass that amount as its Major jackpot win will start with a minimum payout of €2 million making it another potentially life-changing jackpot on the MPJN!
Players will also be treated to another three lower-paying jackpots with the Mini, Minor, and Major ‘Major’ also joining the show. The Major jackpot is still no small fish as this holds a minimum value of €50,000!
The game itself is set in the Arabian deserts with 5 reels, 10 pay lines and an RTP of 93.34%. Players will find themselves engrossed in an exciting slot game where winning often is all part of the parcel of playing the brand-new Wheel of Fortune slot.
Due to its low variance gameplay and a helpful stacked wild symbol, players will regularly link-up Genie lamps, chest full of treasure, mythical books, and potions into 3, 4, and 5 symbol combos while vying for the Wheel of Wishes jackpot bonus hidden in a mythical cave of riches via a Power Spins feature.
Triggering the Power Spins is achieved via two of the much-coveted scatter symbols hitting the reel face giving players stacked symbols across all 5 reels - yet another feature giving players regular wins in the base game!
This feature also spawns a single giant symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4 which will almost certainly bring a series of 4- and 5-symbol combination payouts across multiple reels with mega payouts that have the potential to eclipse even the ‘Mini’ and ‘Minor’ progressive jackpots.
Power Spins are also the key to the four progressive jackpot wins. When the 3x3 Power Spin symbol covers all 9 positions on the centre reels the Wheel of Wishes jackpot bonus games will begin and players are guaranteed to walk away with at least one of the jackpots – it doesn’t get much more exciting than this!
Plus, instead of waiting for the Wheel of Wishes bonus game, players can place a side bet that gives them permanent Power Spins considerably increasing the chances of winning one of the jackpots.
Currently, the MPJN network has created 79 new millionaires and paid out over €1.1 billion in jackpot wins – the Wheel of Fortunes minimum €2 million jackpot is set to add to this amount and help smash both 2019 and 2020’s record-breaking multi-million Euro payouts.
Although right now this all sounds very exciting, we are going to have to hold on to our hats before the latest addition to MPJN arrive as it is set to begin rolling out across Microgaming casinos that use the MPJN network no earlier than 11 February 2020.
