Price is Right Slots Review - Big Wheel Bonus, Multiplier Wilds & Free Play

Price is Right Slot - Editor's Comment

The Price is Right is one of those TV brands that seems made for a slot machine: bright lights, a studio audience and a big wheel. But the name covers more than one game, and that matters when you are checking RTP or paylines. Always confirm the exact version and its published figures in the game's own rules screen. VegasSlotsOnline BetMGM's game overview

That split is the first thing to get straight. If you are looking for a classic multi-line slot with a game show theme, check the larger video slot version. If you want a compact game built around the Big Wheel, check the smaller version. Neither game is a guaranteed winner, and any RTP figure is a long-run theoretical average, not a prediction for a session.

The appeal here is mostly nostalgic. The larger version uses the familiar pricing game imagery, while the compact version leans into the wheel spin and instant prize levels. Both are straightforward to play, but they are not identical, and treating them as one game would be a mistake.

What We Liked

• The larger video slot version offers a multi-line format that suits players who want a more traditional session structure.
• The compact Big Wheel version is built around a wheel-style bonus that gives the game a clear focal point.
• Both games are mobile-compatible, so they work on phones and tablets.
• The theme is instantly recognisable and the rules are easy to follow.

What is the Price is Right Slot?

The Price is Right slot is a casino game based on the long-running TV game show. There are at least two distinct online versions. The larger version is a multi-reel video slot with a game show theme, and its exact reels, paylines, RTP and betting limits are set out in the game's own rules screen. VegasSlotsOnline

The compact version, often titled The Price Is Right: Big Wheel Bonus, is a smaller slot built around a wheel-style bonus. Its exact reels, paylines, RTP, betting limits and maximum payout are set out in the game's own rules screen, so check those before you play. BetMGM's overview

Both games use the show's branding, but they are separate products from different providers. Always check the game rules screen for the version you are playing, because RTP can vary by jurisdiction.

Price is Right Slot Machine At A Glance

The table below compares the two main versions. It is not a single game, so the figures are listed separately.

The larger version is the more traditional slot, while the compact version is a smaller, faster game with a specific Big Wheel bonus. Any RTP difference between versions does not mean one game will pay out more in a session, but over a very long period a higher theoretical average return would be preferable.

Price is Right Slot RTP, Payout and Volatility

Return to Player, or RTP, is a theoretical average percentage of all money wagered that a game is designed to return to players over millions of spins. It is not a session target and it does not mean you will get a set percentage of your money back in a single sitting. Check the published RTP for the exact version you are playing in its rules screen.

Volatility describes how often and how large the wins tend to be. Medium volatility, as listed for the IGT game, generally means a balance between frequency and size. The Gamecode game's volatility is not stated in the source material, so it is omitted here rather than guessed.

Payouts are determined by the paytable and the random number generator. No strategy can change the outcome of a spin. The maximum payout for the Gamecode game is listed as 8,000 credits plus a Grand Bonus prize at 533.33x your bet. The IGT game's maximum payout is not stated in the source, so it is not included. For a general explanation of how RTP works, see our RTP guide.

How to Play Price is Right

The two versions play differently, so the steps below cover the basics for each. Always check the in-game help screen for the exact rules of the version you are playing.

1. Choose your game. Decide whether you are playing the IGT 5-reel version or the Gamecode 3-reel Big Wheel Bonus version.
2. Set your bet. Each version has its own betting range, so check the in-game rules screen for the minimum and maximum stake before you spin.
3. Spin the reels. Press the spin button. The reels will stop on a random combination.
4. Check for wins. Wins are paid for matching symbols on paylines. The IGT game has 25 paylines; the Gamecode game has 9 fixed paylines.
5. Watch for special symbols. The compact version is built around a wheel-style bonus, and its wild and multiplier behaviour is set out in the game's own rules screen.
6. Collect your winnings. Any credits you win are added to your balance. You can cash out at any time, subject to the casino's terms.

Price is Right Gameplay, Graphics & Sound

The IGT version uses a 5-reel layout with a game show theme. The graphics are bright and colourful, with symbols that reference the show. The sound is likely to include familiar game show cues, though the source does not describe the audio in detail. The game was released in 2019, so its presentation is more traditional than the latest video slots.

The Gamecode version is described as retro-inspired, with flashing lights and high-energy action. It uses a 3x3 grid, which gives it a more compact, arcade-like feel. The Big Wheel Bonus is the centrepiece, and the multiplier wilds add a layer of interest to the base game. Neither game is described as having a complex animated intro or a cinematic soundtrack, so expect a straightforward presentation that focuses on the theme and the bonus feature.

Price is Right Slot Features

The features differ by version. The IGT game has 25 paylines and a medium volatility profile, but the source does not list specific bonus features beyond the base game. The Gamecode game has multiplier wilds and the Big Wheel Bonus. It also lists free spins and autoplay as available features.

It is important not to assume that features from one version apply to the other. For example, the Big Wheel Bonus is specific to the Gamecode title. The IGT game may have its own bonus mechanics, but they are not detailed in the source material used here. Always check the paytable and help screen for the exact features of the game you are playing.

Bonus Features: Wilds, Multipliers, and Free Spins

Multiplier Wilds (Gamecode version)

In The Price Is Right: Big Wheel Bonus, wild symbols can appear with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. When more than one multiplier wild lands, the values multiply together. This can boost payouts on a winning line, but it does not guarantee a win.

Big Wheel Bonus (Gamecode version)

Landing Wheel Bonus symbols on the first and third reels triggers the Big Wheel Bonus. The wheel has 15 instant prize levels, including a Grand Bonus worth 533.33x your bet. The bonus is a single spin of the wheel that awards a cash prize.

Free Spins (Gamecode version)

The Gamecode game lists free spins as a feature. The source does not specify how many free spins are awarded or how they are triggered, so those details are omitted. Check the in-game rules for the exact terms.

Wilds and Multipliers (IGT version)

The IGT version's source material does not list specific wild or multiplier features. It is a 5-reel, 25-payline game with a 96.25% RTP and medium volatility. Any bonus features would be described in the game's own help screen.

Other Price is Right Features

Both games include standard slot controls such as bet adjustment and spin. The Gamecode version also lists autoplay as available. The IGT version's comparison table on VegasSlotsOnline lists autoplay as 'No' and bonus rounds as 'No', though that table may refer to a specific configuration. Always verify the features in the version you are playing.

Neither game is described as having a progressive jackpot. The Gamecode game's Grand Bonus is a fixed prize at 533.33x your bet, not a progressive jackpot. The IGT game's maximum payout is not stated in the source.

Where to Play Price is Right

Availability of The Price is Right slots depends on the casino and your jurisdiction. The IGT game is a widely distributed title, but it is not available at every casino. The Gamecode version is listed on BetMGM's casino blog, which suggests it is available at BetMGM in some markets. That does not mean it is available in Ireland or that BetMGM is licensed to operate in Ireland.

If you are in Ireland, check whether the casino holds a licence from the relevant authority. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is the new regulator, and you can read more in our GRAI licensing guide. Do not use VPNs or other methods to access casinos that are not licensed for your location. For a list of casinos we have reviewed, see our Irish casino reviews.
