Wheel of Fortune Cash Link Reels

This latest entry in the long-running Wheel of Fortune franchise is a mechanical stepper game on the DiamondRS Premium Wheel cabinet, linked to a wide-area progressive resetting at $1 million. The base games are the IGT classics Double Diamond and Double Gold.

The base game is a three-reel, nine-line stepper. The reels include the familiar multiplying wild symbols, the third-reel “Spin” symbol that activates the bonus wheel, and yellow coin symbols bearing cash-on-reels awards.

The game includes a “bet up” feature that awards additional pointers on the bonus wheel as wagers increase, up to five pointers for the maximum bet.

Slices on the wheel include the Minor and Major jackpots, static awards of $500 and $1,000, respectively, and the top Grand jackpot. A random “Ultra Link” progressive reset feature boosts the top wide-area progressive award to $1.125 million-plus.

The bonus wheel also includes “Cash Link” slices displaying multipliers of 5X, 7X and 10X. Landing two cash-on-reels symbols with the “Spin” symbol activates the Cash Link feature. The multipliers on the wheel increase the values of the coin symbols.

With the maximum five active pointers, all the Cash Link multipliers can land, providing a combined multiplier of 22X to the coin awards—plus two credit awards on the wheel.

The game features a player-selectable, multi-denomination setup, which is a first for Wheel of Fortune stepper themes.
