Golden Penny x1000: Super Wheel

Golden Penny x1000: Super Wheel Slot Review

A grinning leprechaun leans in from the side of the reels, gold coin pinched between two fingers, while a giant pastel prize wheel rises behind the grid like a fairground carousel. That wheel never actually spins the reels for you: Playson have named the game after its most decorative part, and the real business gets done quietly below it, in cascades and multipliers.

It runs on a 6×4 grid with wins by symbol count, multipliers climbing to x1000, and a Super Free Spins round where only the big multipliers land. If you’ve played Playson’s Clover Smash, you’ll know the lush cartoon territory here: saturated greens, warm gold, and a sunlit forest path. The money sits in the free spins, not the fairground above them.

Base Game & Features

The base game is a cluster-style setup with a twist on how wins are measured. Any eight or more identical symbols anywhere on the grid form a winning combination, and it’s the total number of matching symbols that sets the value of the win, not where they sit.

A nine-symbol win always pays more than an eight-symbol win of the same symbol, position irrelevant. That single rule changes how you watch the drops: a cascade isn’t just a chance at another win, it’s a chance at a bigger tier of the win you already have.

Winning symbols then collapse and disappear, and the remaining symbols fall to fill the empty cells. New symbols drop in from above, and the cascades keep running for as long as new winning combinations form. One spin can chain several paid wins, each one sitting in a higher tier than the last if the drops fall kindly.

The paytable is short and top-heavy. Two symbols carry all the published values, in three tiers by count:

• Horseshoe – 50x for 12+ symbols
• Horseshoe – 10x for 10-11 symbols
• Horseshoe – 5x for 8-9 symbols
• Harp – 20x for 12+ symbols
• Harp – 5x for 10-11 symbols
• Harp – 2x for 8-9 symbols

The gap between tiers is steep. A full dozen horseshoes pays ten times what ten of them manage, so the difference between a good cascade and a great one is usually the last two symbols. The harp follows the same shape one step down, doubling from 2x to 20x as the count climbs from eight to twelve.

Multiplier symbols land on the reels during play, and they’re where the game gets its name. They apply to the wins they take part in, and in a cascade sequence they stack with the growing symbol counts, which is the mechanism that gives modest-looking drops a route to a serious multiple.

The base game’s multipliers come in a wide spread of values, from the modest end of the scale to some very serious numbers:

• x3 – entry-level multiplier
• x5 and x8 – mid-range values
• x10 and x20 – where a cascade starts to matter
• x50 – the top of the base game’s observed range
• x250 – the largest multiplier the base game shows

Then there’s the wheel itself. When the Super Wheel Feature is activated, the wheel spins and stops on one of its segments, and the symbols taking part in the winning combination collapse, setting the cascade running in the usual way. The round then resolves entirely through those cascades: symbols fall, new ones drop in, and the sequence pays out until no fresh combination forms.

Its segments cover a lot of ground:

• 15x
• 25x
• 50x
• 250x
• 1000x
• SUPER – the route to Super Free Spins

What the game is plain about is that the wheel is a graphic presentation for entertainment purposes. The multipliers attached to it are real enough in their effect, but the spinning spectacle is dressing, and anyone expecting a wheel bonus with its own rules will be looking at the wrong thing.

Golden Penny x1000: Super Wheel Bonus Features

The headline bonus is the Super Free Spins round, reached through the Super Wheel Feature landing on its SUPER segment. Once the round is running, the reel set changes character completely: the low-end multipliers are gone, and only the high-value ones land.

That’s the whole appeal of the round in one sentence. Every multiplier on the reels is a big one, so the floor of any Super Free Spins win is a ten-times multiplier, and the ceiling is the full x1000.

The full set of values that can appear:

• x10 and x12 – the round’s entry point
• x15, x20 and x25 – the middle of the ladder
• x30 and x50 – where a single win gets serious
• x100 and x250 – the upper tier
• x500 and x1000 – the top of the range

Combined with the cascade system, a lucky sequence of drops can multiply on top of multiplies, which is where the game’s serious money lives. The x1000 multiplier is the game’s ceiling, the largest single number it puts its name to anywhere.

A BUY BONUS button sits in the interface for players who’d rather skip the base game entirely and go straight at the feature. No firm price list is quoted for it, so there’s nothing to report on value beyond the fact that the option exists. What the button buys is the feature itself, and the feature it buys is the one described above, so the decision rests on how much the round is worth to you rather than on any tiered pricing.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.1/10

Time with this one is mostly spent watching cascades build, waiting for the multipliers to arrive, and the leprechaun grinning through all of it. The reason to pick it up is the free spins: that round is built properly, and the decision to let only the big multipliers land gives every drop real weight.

That round is the strength, and it’s a real one. The weakness sits above it. The wheel the game is named after resolves into the same cascades you get everywhere else, so the most eye-catching thing on screen is the least interesting thing in play, and the base game has only two symbols worth quoting to carry you to the feature.

This suits players who like counting symbols and chaining wins, and who don’t need the spectacle to pay for itself. It’s a poorer fit for anyone chasing an actual wheel bonus, because there isn’t one here. The forest is lovely, the gold is genuinely buried in the free spins, and the leprechaun is happy to point at either.
