Mega symbols and wheels of fortune kept me on the edge of my seat in IGT’s Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway Powerbucks Online Slot. This tropical holiday-themed title features whimsical postcards as symbols with a palm-lined beach in the background. Oversized symbols dominate the bamboo reels to bring you massive winning chances, while the game’s top jackpot of $250 000rides on the spin of a wheel.

IGT kept the clutter to a minimum in this game. The spin, betting and Autoplay buttons are displayed in vivid blue, while the audio controls and paytable are tucked away at the bottom of the screen.
The 5 fixed jackpot indicators above the reels will change as you adjust your bet and symbols stack up to give you various bonuses.
Big Kahuna Respin
If you land a full stack of the same higher-paying regular symbol on three or more adjacent reels, you will get an instant respin where only higher-paying symbols appear on the reels and a 2x-5x multiplier gives you a winning boost. The stacked symbols will merge to form a Jumbo symbol and you can retrigger this feature twice.
Bonus wheel
If six or more Wheel bonus scatter symbols pop up anywhere on the reels, you will get 1 spin on a bonus wheel.
The wheel segments hold various awards, including the Jackpot Bonus, free spins, cash prizes, or the frenzy modifier. The frenzy segment activated the Pointer Frenzy feature, which activates 2-6 six extra pointers, allowing you to claim multiple prizes and trigger bonus features.
Landing on the Jackpot bonus takes you to a different bonus wheel, where you spin to claim one of the game’s 5 fixed jackpots. The blue, purple, green, silver, or gold jackpots will pay you 20x, 50x, 200x, 500x, or 1000x your bet, respectively.
If the pointer hits the free spins segment, you will receive 10 free spins that you can retrigger for up to 120 free spins if six or more free spins scatter symbols make an appearance.
Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway Powerbucks slot is a game that gets a lot of things right, while other areas could have used some more thought. The controls did feel a little clunky and dated, considering the game’s age and the post-win sequences went on a bit long. I fully enjoyed the game’s beachy atmosphere, and the postcard symbols were a great touch that made me feel a touch of nostalgia. Another plus for this title is how many features it managed to combine. Between the Big Kahuna Respin and the many gifts of the bonus wheel, there was hardly ever a dull moment as I did my best to claim the $250k maximum prize. If the thrill of fixed jackpots is too much for you to resist, you should check out Grand Spinn and Dungeons and Diamonds.
