Grand Wheel is a Red Tiger slot released on 21 February 2017: three reels, one row and a single payline, with cherries, lemons, oranges, grapes, bells and sevens on its paytable strip. Its only special symbol is the Wheel Bonus. One or two on the payline spin for a stake multiplier prize, and three award the Grand Wheel, worth 15x to 1000x the stake. Red Tiger rates it medium volatility, with a hit frequency of 10.40%.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as Red Tiger publishes it.

How Grand Wheel plays
Grand Wheel has the shape of a three-reel fruit machine, which Red Tiger calls "a classic arcade-style slot". It has one play line and stakes of €0.10 to €50.00. The strip above the reels lists each three-of-a-kind beside its multiplier, then the Wheel Bonus prizes for one, two and three symbols.
The help calls the Wheel Bonus a scatter, yet every prize it describes needs the symbol on the payline. There is no free spins round and no feature buy.
What each result pays
Red Tiger's symbol values are stake multipliers, so with one payline x3 is three times the total stake. The last column shows two example stakes.
| On the payline | Pays | Stated in | Example: R1 / R5 stake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three cherries | x3 | Paytable strip | R3 / R15 |
| Three lemons | x5 | Paytable strip | R5 / R25 |
| Three oranges | x8 | Paytable strip | R8 / R40 |
| Three bunches of grapes | x18 | Paytable strip | R18 / R90 |
| Three bells | x38 | Paytable strip | R38 / R190 |
| Three sevens | x88 | Paytable strip | R88 / R440 |
| One Wheel Bonus | 1x to 38x | The help | R1 to R38 / R5 to R190 |
| Two Wheel Bonus symbols | 8x to 50x in total | The help | R8 to R50 / R40 to R250 |
| Three Wheel Bonus symbols, the Grand Wheel | 15x to 1000x | The help | R15 to R1,000 / R75 to R5,000 |
One or two Wheel Bonus symbols
Each Wheel Bonus on the payline "will spin to reveal a stake multiplier prize", between 1x and 38x for a single one. When two land, their multipliers are added up before being applied to the stake, for a total of 8x to 50x.
Two single wheels at their tops would make 76x, yet the pair's total stops at 50x. So a second symbol lifts the lowest prize from 1x to 8x and the highest from 38x to 50x. The help gives no odds for any value on a wheel.
Three symbols: the Grand Wheel, 15x to 1000x
Three Wheel Bonus symbols on the payline, one on each reel, award the Grand Wheel, with "wins between 15x and 1000x stake". Red Tiger says this wheel is "hidden high above the reels". On a R1 stake that is R15 to R1,000.
Red Tiger lists the maximum payout as 1,000 x bet, and the intro screen reads "WIN UP TO 1000x!". Both match the top of the Grand Wheel. It is the studio's figure, not a promise.
How the wheel prizes compare with the symbol lines
The symbol lines and the wheel prizes overlap more than their names suggest. The top of a single wheel, 38x, equals three bells. Two wheels start at 8x, level with three oranges, and stop at 50x, below three sevens at x88. The Grand Wheel starts at 15x, under three grapes at x18.
So three sevens pay more than any one- or two-wheel result, and the Grand Wheel beats every symbol line only when it lands above 88x.
A 10.40% hit frequency, and two sites with different figures
At Red Tiger's hit frequency of 10.40%, about one spin in ten pays. Taking each spin on its own, ten spins in a row pass without a win about one time in three, and the average paying spin returns about 9.25 times the stake.
Red Tiger's page gives an RTP of 96.20% and Evolution's games site 95.13%, without explaining the gap. If your casino's game help shows an RTP, read that number.
The volatility labels differ too: MEDIUM on Red Tiger's badge, "Low / Mid" on Evolution's site.
Grand Wheel RTP and volatility

Pros, cons and verdict
- One payline: each spin is read off a single line
- One Wheel Bonus on the payline already pays 1x to 38x the stake
- Every wheel's range is published: 1x-38x, 8x-50x and 15x-1000x
- Red Tiger publishes a hit frequency, 10.40%, and a top payout, 1,000x
- About nine spins in ten pay nothing
- The Grand Wheel can pay as little as 15x, less than three grapes at x18
- No free spins round and no feature buy
Grand Wheel keeps the reels plain and lets the number of Wheel Bonus symbols on the payline set the prize range: 1x to 38x for one, 8x to 50x for two, 15x to 1000x for three. With about one paying spin in ten, long runs of losing spins come with the game, so pick a stake in rand that can carry them.
Grand Wheel FAQ
How do you trigger the Grand Wheel?
Land three Wheel Bonus symbols on the payline, one on each reel. The Grand Wheel then pays between 15x and 1000x the stake, or R15 to R1,000 on a R1 stake.
What is Grand Wheel's RTP?
96.20% on Red Tiger's own game page, the figure in the facts panel. Evolution's games site lists 95.13%. If a casino's copy of the game shows an RTP in its help, go by that number.
What top payout does Red Tiger list for Grand Wheel?
1,000 times the bet, matching "WIN UP TO 1000x!" on the intro screen and the top of the Grand Wheel. It is the studio's figure, not a promise: R1,000 on a R1 stake.
Does Grand Wheel have free spins or a bonus buy?
No. The help describes only the Wheel Bonus and the Grand Wheel, and there is no feature buy. Apart from the six three-symbol lines on the strip, every prize comes from a wheel.
