There is a new member of the Wheel of Fortune family, called Elegant Emeralds. Playable from $0.75 per spin, the 2022 release may seem to boast a bit dated visuals but, on the other hand, it is packed with additional features, which will please action junkies. Apart from the standard Free Spins feature, there are several other extras that you will benefit from.
Ca$hLink 2 feature will deliver the values of Coins and jackpots that appear on the reels. There are 5 different jackpots you can collect. As for the Wheel Bonus, it will allow you to spin the Wheel and pocket jackpots, instant wins, or win multipliers. Free spins come with Nudging Wilds and Nudging Coins, which cover entire reels. With a maximum possible win of 80,000x the bet, Wheel of Fortune: Elegant Emeralds comes with an RTP that goes between 89.90% and 96.15%.
The visuals in the IGT product are far from perfect but are crisp and clean, and the reels run as smoothly as possible. The grid is set on a green background, simply to fit the theme. The Emerald is the top-paying regular icon, followed by the Emerald Ring, The Emerald Fish, and playing cards. Wild will substitute for all regular icons, and the Scatter triggers free spins. Gold Coins, Wheels, and Treasure Chests also appear on the reels and help you trigger other features.
Even though the rules of the game may seem a bit complicated in the beginning, everything will become clear in a short period of time. The slot is played on a 5x4 grid and benefits from 30 fixed paylines. The 2022 release pays left to right, starting from the far-left reel. Land at least three matching icons on a line to win a payout.
Every spin will cost you 75 coins. The coin denomination can be changed, so you can wager as low as $0.75 and as high as $30 per single spin. Autoplay offers up to 50 automatic spins to players who prefer when a machine does all the hard work.
Wilds appear on all reels but the first in the base game. As for the Free Spins feature, you will find Wilds only on the three central reels. There are two types of Treasure Chest. Both of them appear on the 5th reel.
When one of them appears on the last reel, and the Wheel does not appear on the first reel, the Ca$sLink 2 feature is triggered. All Cash values that appear on the Coins and Wheels on other reels will end up on your balance. Also, you may pocket one of five jackpots, if they appear on the reels.
When a Wheel lands on reel 1 and the Treasure Chest with a Spin appears on reel 5, the Wheel Bonus is triggered. Spin the Wheel and win jackpots, win multipliers, and instant wins. Depending on the bet level, players will get more pointers on the Wheel, meaning that they get multiple prizes.
Scatters land on reels 1, 3, and 5. and trigger 10 free spins. During the feature, all Coins and Wilds that appear trigger the Nudging Coin and Wild feature. Coins and Wilds may nudge to cover entire reels.
Land a closed Treasure Chest on the last reel during freebies and you will trigger the Ca$hLink 2 feature. All values from Coins on the reels will be collected. Free spins can be retriggered.
Even though the visuals appear dated, the game can still be played on smaller screens. The quality of the IGT title is excellent and will provide you with the same gaming experience both on desktops and on handheld gadgets.
