Wheel of Fortuno and Progressive Jackpot

The second act of this creepy magic show is the Wheel of Fortuno where you can win the progressive jackpot. Operators can activate a must-drop value after it reaches a minimum balance. At this point a timer starts and the jackpot is guaranteed to hit before the countdown ends. Your bet size is directly relative to the chance of winning the jackpot.

A Dr Fortuno wild landing on a reel in the base game will nudge to fill the reel when it appears only in partial view and if it can improve or create a win. The Wheel of Fortuno will appear after the win is evaluated. It will not trigger on a losing spin even if Dr Fortuno lands in full view.

The wheel contains 12 segments, each marked with a prize. You will get one spin on the wheel for each Dr Fortuno wild that landed on the triggering spin.

• Jackpot Chance: The jackpot wedge is unlocked.
• The Jackpot: You win the Progressive Jackpot when you land on the wedge after it has been unlocked.
• Cash Prizes: You get coin wins from 1x to 5x your bet.
• Extra Spins: You get 2 extra spins on the wheel every time you land on the wedge.
• Bet Multiplier: The win from the triggering spin and any potential coin wins from the bonus game are multiplied by up to x5.

For a chance to win the jackpot, you will need to land first on the Jackpot Chance segment. Unlocking the wedge will replace it with the Jackpot wedge and award +1 spin on the wheel. The bonus game ends when you run out of spins or hit the jackpot. All prizes from the wheel including the win from the triggering spin are added and paid in one amount.

Final Verdict

To be honest, Dr Fortuno feels a little like a cousin, brother or sister to Baron Samedi. The mechanics are to a good part the same while the gameplay and volatility are similar too. Overall, an entertaining game as the features hit often enough to avoid boredom. Winning the jackpot won’t be easy but we estimate it to reach mid-five-figure sums before it is triggered. Not too shabby.
