With huge wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 and big money wheels, this Wild Wheel Big Money mobile slot is true to its name.
Well almost true. ‘Big Money’ is probably stretching it a little bit; if you do manage to get the wild wheel covering all three centre reels, you’ll probably get around 50x your bet.
More is definitely possible, but this isn’t the hardest hitting game – certainly not as much as Push Gaming’s own Blaze of Ra slot.
But that’s ok. This doesn’t have to give you earth-shattering wins all the time, just a dash of hope every once in a while to keep you spinning, which is exactly what it does.
The sounds are fun enough, but this Wild Wheel Big Money slot game lacks personality on it’s 20 paylines with generic money symbols.
We are talking piggy banks, unmarked gold coins, wads of green dollars, gold bars and a suitcase full of cash. A mafia toddler in training dream symbols.
Which is a shame as Push Gaming have always been very good at making good looking phone games; just look at the beautiful Dragon Sisters slot and the colourful Tiki Tumble slot.
As mentioned, there are stacks of wilds on 3 reels, and with a little nudge from the game, usually, end up landing to cover the whole reel.
Which is great, but it’s only when you find all three that things get interesting. Not because you get 3 wild reels, but because you trigger the wheel of fortune bonus games.
Here you spin a wheel and get either instant cash or free spins. You can gamble your wins 3 times before you have to take the final decision of the wheel.
If you don’t like playing the gambling game, this Wild Wheel Big Money slot will actually tell you whether your best strategy is to take the amount on screen or gamble it. So there’s that.
The free spins are what you want, ultimately, because you get 3 conjoined reels on every spin showing the exact same symbol – just like in the Medusa 2 free spin games.
The problem is that getting more than 8 is impossible, even if by some miracle you manage to upgrade the wheel to show bigger prizes.
Mostly you walk away with about 10x your bet, which isn’t that bad considering the feature triggers fairly often.
It’s not really that wild and a fairly safe game to play; if you really want wild then the Wild Neon slot is where you want to head.

Stacked Nudging Wilds: Reel 2, 3 and 4 come with stacks of wild that are 3-row highs. These are easy to spot because put together they create one big massive wheel.
The thing is, these are basically expanded wilds but with another name, as whenever they partially land on screen then will always nudge to cover the reel they are on.
These can replace other symbols in a win.
Wild Wheel: If you land all three reels wild, not only will you usually get a fairly decent win, but you'll also trigger the wheel of fortune bonus.
There are three wheels in total, and you spin to win either instant cash, free spins, or an upgrade to the next wheel.
You rarely get to the purple wheel, so don't try too hard - generally try for about 8 free spins if you can catch them.
3 times you can spin the wheel and either take the prize on show, or leave it behind and spin again. By the third time, you have to take the prize.
Free Spins and Locking Reels: If you trigger the free spins during the wheel of fortune bonus you'll play those spins, for free.
But you also get 3 reels always locking into place and showing the exact same symbols - basically like the Twin Spin touch game.
Do we think that this Wild Wheel Big Money slot on mobile will be remembered for years to come? Probably not.
In fact, we suspect it won't remember past the month after it's release, but if you do come across it you might be pleasantly surprised.
Sure, the graphics are nothing to shout about, but those wild reels are effective and the wheel of bonus keeps the gambling thrill going with it's take it or leave it feature.
A decent Push Gaming slot machine that is fun enough - much like their better themed Peter and the Lost Boys slot review.
