Review: Mega Wheels by Air Dice

Launched in 2017 by Finnish developer Air Dice, Mega Wheels has quickly established itself as one of the most popular dice games in Belgium. This game combines strategy, chance and attractive bonuses.

Game mechanics: simplicity and strategy

Mega Wheels is played on four 3×3 grids. On each turn, the player receives a column of three dice, which must be placed in one of the grids. The aim is to line up identical dice horizontally or diagonally to collect points. A minimum of 100 points is required to win.

Special combinations, such as filling a grid with nine identical dice (called ‘9 Alike’), offer additional bonuses of 200 points. What’s more, lining up winning combinations on several grids can multiply your winnings up to twofold.

Bonus Wheel: a decisive spin

By obtaining three bonus symbols in a row, the player gains access to the Bonus Wheel. This wheel offers a variety of rewards: cash prizes, extra points, mystery games, ExtraPot or the progressive jackpot.

Players can refuse up to four times the reward obtained to try their luck again. However, on the fifth attempt, the reward is automatically awarded, even if it was previously refused.

Cashback Wheel: a second chance

Mega Wheels is also introducing the Cashback Wheel. For every spin without a win, the player receives one credit. Once they have accumulated 30 credits, they can spin this wheel to obtain extra points or mystery games. It’s important to note that the credits are linked to the bet level; changing the bet resets the accumulated credits.

Mystery games

Mystery games in Mega Wheels are bonus mini-games triggered via the Bonus Wheel or Cashback Wheel. When players come across this option, they access a special sequence where each win has the maximum value. 

Accessibility and user experience

The game is accessible with stakes ranging from €0.25 to €25 per spin, adapting to different budgets. It has an RTP of 97% and average volatility. It is also optimised for mobile devices, offering a smooth experience on smartphones and tablets. 

Mega Wheels, more than just a dice game

Mega Wheels doesn’t just reproduce the classic mechanics of online dice games: it reinvents them. With its multiple levels of strategy, engaging bonus features such as the Bonus Wheel and Cashback Wheel, and accessibility to all player profiles, it offers an immersive, dynamic and potentially highly lucrative experience.

Its success in Belgium is no accident. It is based on a skilful balance between chance and tactical choices, while rewarding perseverance. All in all, Mega Wheels has established itself as a benchmark in the world of modern dice games.

The answer to the question ‘should you try it?’ is a resounding yes.

Final score: 4.8/10
