1xBet Wheel of Luck: Pragmatic Play's 2023 Custom Game Announcement
On 20 September 2023, Pragmatic Play announced a custom live game show for 1xBet. It was called Wheel of Luck. The supplier said the product adapted its Mega Wheel format. It carried 1xBet branding. No launch day was given. Players would "soon" enjoy the game, the release said.
What Pragmatic Play said about the 1xBet game
The release framed Wheel of Luck as a custom version of a proven format. The supplier also builds dedicated studios and custom tables for operators. The 1xBet version uses that same idea for a game show.
The release tied the launch to a wider deal. The two firms already worked together on live games, slots, bingo and scratch cards. Pragmatic Play called 1xBet an early buyer of its full live suite.
The Mega Wheel format behind the 1xBet branding
Mega Wheel is the source format. Pragmatic Play launched it on 10 November 2020. It called it its first live game show. The supplier said it drew on Big 6 and Money Wheel ideas. A wheel spin decides the result.
The base game uses a wheel with fifty-four numbered segments. Players can back one or more numbers. They can also cover all nine betting spots. If the wheel lands on a backed number, the stake comes back with that number's multiplier.
Each round also picks one symbol at random. It is the Mega Lucky Number. That symbol gets a random Mega Multiplier. Both show up before the wheel stops. The product page advertises a top win of 500 times the bet on the base game.
The show runs with presenters, HD video and several camera angles. At launch, plain wheel results were said to reach 40 times the bet.
Those figures belong to Mega Wheel. The release did not restate them for the 1xBet version.
Dated context: a deal older than the 1xBet wheel
Pragmatic Play put out an earlier 1xBet news item on 29 May 2019. That release covered a dedicated live area in a new studio. It had branded gear, tailored game types and chosen dealing styles.
The 2019 package also offered live promos and tournaments run by the operator. Chief commercial officer Melissa Summerfield spoke for the supplier then. That release said slots, bingo, scratch cards and live games ran through one API.
In the 2023 release, 1xBet's Maria G said the live side began four years earlier. That puts the start around 2019. It lines up with the 2019 dedicated-area news.
