Additional notes on Wheel of Fortune 4D

  • Many inexperienced APs will play this just like Golden Egypt, meaning they play when there are at least two dollar symbols in the first three reels. Other APs play when there is one dollar symbol in each of the first three reels. Neither of these scenarios are +EV. Compared to Golden Egypt, Wheel of Fortune 4D has more of the game’s payout spread across the wheel bonus (which triggers very frequently) and massive wide-area progressive jackpot. Therefore, the line hits with the wilds just aren’t as lucrative. I’ve logged hundreds of sessions and have good data confirming this. Other experienced APs I am friends with have reached the same conclusion.

  • These machines tend to get a lot of action in casinos, so it’s actually very common to find left-behind active wilds.

  • The wheel bonus happens very frequently in the game, and as such, the payout is usually not spectacular.

  • When checking the machine, I recommend tapping the volume button once on the bet pad to silence the game (Vanna White does a lot of talking that draws attention). I also like to use the slider to turn down the 4D effects all the way.

Just because you can’t play this like Golden Egypt, doesn’t mean this isn’t a good advantage game—finding left-behind wilds is extremely common.
