Wheel of Amp Review
Partnering developer, is a somewhat volatile developer. Their visual presentation is usually top notch, but the math model is always a bit of a gamble. Testing Wheel of Amp therefore felt a bit like hitting a jackpot. Both the steampunk theme, the core features and the math model come together to create a compelling, yet highly unusual, video slot experience.
A visual ode to the art of engineering in the early 20th century, the game takes time to build momentum, like a puffing old locomotive rolling out from the station. Step by step you expand the grid, increase paylines and unlock premium symbols, until the sucker is cranked up to maximum capacity. The Amp Wheel triggers fairly often to help you, but the volatile nature of this game, combined with the “handicap” you start out with, requires a certain mindset from the player.
Wheel of Amp Slot Features
Everything centers around the Amp Wheel feature in this game, and you need to land 3 wheel scatters anywhere in sight to trigger it. There are no wild symbols to benefit from, so you are truly at the Wheel’s mercy here. The initial 10-segment Wheel will award either a 10x Win Boost Multiplier, 10 Free Spins or Step Change (8 out of 10 segments initially).
The Step Change segments look like light bulbs, and 4 of them reveal a high value symbol, while the remaining 4 will expand the reel set. The premium symbols are unlocked in chronological order, starting with the lowest value velocipede, and ending on the top paying locomotive symbol worth 10x for 5 on a payline.
If the Amp Wheel awards a reel expansion, you first get 1 extra reel, then an extra row nex time, then a new reel followed by a new row. This can increase the original 3x3 setup to a 5x5 grid at the most, also increasing the number of win ways from 9 up to 25. Each time you are awarded a Step Change, that Amp Wheel segment is replaced by a Win Boost multiplier on the next trigger.
Speaking of, the Win Boost Multiplier will apply to your next spin only, and the initial Amp Wheel comes with a single 10x multiplier segment. However, as you unlock premium symbols and expand the reel set, you convert the Wheel segments progressively into multiplier segments of 6x, 5x, 3x and 2x.
Finally, the Amp Wheel Free Spins segment awards 10 free spins, and you can trigger the Amp Wheel during the bonus round also. In fact, it triggers more frequently, and you can win 5 extra free spins from it, as well as Win Boost Multipliers that remain in play for the duration of the feature. The Multiplier even follows you back into the base game, boosting any winnings on your first spin.
The 200 Spins Wheel of Amp Slot Experience
We had plenty of Wheel Scatter teasers before we finally landed the 3 we needed. This happens at 1:40 into the almost 5 minute long highlights video. We got the 10 free spins right away, and managed to retrigger the feature with 5 extra spins almost right away. We unlocked a premium symbol before that though, and you can see how we fared by hitting the play button.
Review Summary
The visually pleasing steampunk theme meshes perfectly with the core mechanics of the gameplay in Wheel of Amp, and is showing themselves from their best side here. Progressively unlocking premium symbols, as well as reels, rows and win ways, gives you a sense of mastery and achievement as you play. Of course, this requires a certain commitment, and impatient players looking for a cheap thrill should probably look elsewhere.
It’s not really as hard as one might think to get this thing to fire on all cylinders, and we certainly enjoyed the Zeppelin ride getting there. The bonus round is loaded up with extra Amp Wheel scatters, and a sticky 10x multiplier boost can lead to solid total payouts up to 7,303x your stake. A certain player segment will probably reject this concept up front, but engineering enthusiasts and those who simply enjoy a slow-boiling, yet tense ride, can look forward to a rewarding experience here.
