One of the first live games of Pragmatic Play!

For the first time since its creation, Pragmatic Play is releasing its first live game called the "Mega Wheel". The latter, with its very simple principle, can be very volatile. On a 54-segment wheel, 9 different numbers are randomly placed. At the beginning of each round, a multiplier and a number will be displayed. If you hit the right number and get the highest multiplier, then you can win the jackpot!

The principle of the game

The principle of the Mega Wheel is very simple to understand. A wheel is present in the middle of a sublime room, whose design has been worked out by the Pragmatic Play teams. Throughout the day, a presenter takes turns to animate this live game. The principle is simple. A wheel made up of 54 segments will be turned at the beginning of each game by the presenter. To the left of the presenter is a screen. This screen will display a number as well as a multiplier.

Before each round starts, you have a few seconds to place your bets. As you can see in the following picture, the bets are very easy to understand and perfectly explained by the provider.

Depending on the number you bet, you will win the right amount. If you bet on the number that appears on the screen, your final bet will be multiplied by the number on the screen. The available multipliers can increase your starting bet up to a maximum of 500 times. To play this game live, you will be able to place between a minimum of €0.10 and a maximum of €1,000 per round on a single number. However, you are not limited to a €1,000 bet. You can bet on as many numbers as you wish, but you cannot bet more than €1,000 on any one number.

The distribution of multiplier numbers

The Mega Wheel is made up of 54 segments divided as follows:

  • The 1: present 20 times on the wheel. 20/54 x 100 = 37. You have a 37% chance of hitting the number 1. If you hit the number 1, your final win will be multiplied by 1 + your starting bet will be added to your final win. However, your final winnings may be different if the number 1 appears on the screen and the number 1 is multiplied. Your final win will then be equal to the value of your multiplier.

  • The 2: present 13 times on the wheel. 13/54 x 100 = 24. You have a 24% chance of getting the number 2. If you fall on this number, your starting bet will be multiplied by 2. On top of that, you will get your starting bet back. Just like the number 1, if the number 2 appears on the screen, then the final win will be equal to its multiplier.

  • The 5: present 7 times on the wheel. 5/54 x 100 = 9.2. You have a 9.2% chance of falling on the number 5 during a throw. Your final win will be multiplied by 5 and your starting bet will be added to your balance. Just like 1 and 2, your final win can have a different multiplier if it appears on the wheel.

  • The 8: present 4 times on the wheel. 4/54 x 100 = 7.4. You have a 7.4% chance of falling on the number 8. It multiplies your starting bet by 8. Your starting bet is added to your final winnings, which may be different if it appears on the screen.

  • The 10: present 4 times on the wheel. 4/54 x 100 = 7.4. Like the number 8, you also have a 7.4% chance of falling on the number 10. This segment multiplies your starting win by 10 and your bet is also added to your balance. Just like the other segments, its value can be changed if it appears on the screen.

  • The 15th: present twice on the wheel. 2/54 x 100 = 3.7. You have a 3.7% chance of falling on the number 15 during a throw. It multiplies your starting bet by 15 and your starting bet is put back into your balance. It can be changed if it appears on the screen.

  • The 20: present 2 times on the wheel. 2/54 x 100 = 3.7. Just like number 15, you have a 3.7% chance of falling on number 20. This segment multiplies your starting bet by 20. Your starting bet is added to the final win. Like the other segments, the number 20 may also appear on the screen.

  • The 30th: present 1 time on the wheel. 1/54 x 100 = 1,8. You have a 1.8% chance of falling on the number 30. This number allows you to win 30 times your starting bet. Your starting bet is added to your final winnings which can be different if the number 30 appears on the screen.

  • The 40: present 1 time on the wheel. 1/54 x 100 = 1,8. Like the 30, you have a 1.8% chance of getting the number 40 on a wheel throw. This is the segment that pays the most on this wheel. If you hit this number, then your starting bet is multiplied by 40. Your bet is added to your winnings. Just like the other segments, segment 40 can be subject to a multiplier.

The Mega Multiplier

The Mega Multiplier is a function that is activated as soon as the presenter starts to turn the wheel. On a screen to the left of the presenter, a number on the wheel will be displayed. Above this, a multiplier of up to x500 will also be displayed.

It is very important to note that the final multiplier of your gain will be x20 and not 10 x 20. Thus, for €1 of your stake, you can win €20 (+ the sum of your stake, i.e. €21 in total).

In the following picture, you can see that the multiplied number is 10 and that this number can win you 20 times your starting bet if you fall on it.

The RTP of this wheel

With an explosive potential, this Mega Wheel nevertheless promises a rather high RTP (return to player) since it is 96.51%. This RTP, similar to other live games with roughly similar volatility, puts Pragmatic Play's latest toy in the middle range.

Is it possible to play Mega Wheel on a mobile phone?

If you have an Android or IOS mobile phone, then you will be able to play this game live. Like some online casinos, all live games are perfectly suited to the mobile version. So whether you're on public transport or in a place where you want to play the game, you'll be able to make your wish come true.

Our opinion about Pragmatic Play's Mega Wheel game

For a first realization of a live game, Pragmatic Play did it right with the Mega Wheel. Even if the game is very strongly inspired by the Dream Catcher, the multiplying ball, just like the Mega Ball, can make you win the jackpot. In addition, the colours chosen are very pleasant and the layout of the bets is very clear.

In short, the Mega Wheel is a great success for Pragmatic Play, which has taken inspiration from the best of the live game market to bring out its own gem. However, just like a Dream Catcher, the principle is a bit tricky at the beginning, but can very quickly become redundant.

The facilitators are very cheerful and will provide you with very high quality sessions.

Even if the potential of this live game is very great (it is possible to win up to 500 000€), the principle of the game remains the same and can sometimes be very redundant. Moreover, compared to other live games, the potential is not that high.
