Viral Spiral

Red Tiger stripped Viral Spiral down to almost nothing: one spinning reel in the middle of a swirling green backdrop, showing a single symbol per spin. That symbol is either a blank placeholder or the Bonus Wheel, so every spin ends in nothing or in the wheel feature. The catalogue lists it as a 3x3 layout with one payline, though in practice the screen has no conventional rows or lines to speak of.

The maths are 95.69% RTP and high volatility, with stakes from 0.10 to 20. The ceiling is 5,000x the bet. Expect a run of empty spins between wheel hits, since the wheel is the only route to a payout.

Once the Bonus Wheel symbol lands, the screen is taken over by a wheel of eight segments: four that lose, three carrying smaller prizes and one golden segment with the biggest prize. The first spin is the friendliest, because the winning segments are drawn wider and give a 75% chance of a prize. Later wheels shrink the winning segments, and the odds fall to 50%.

After a prize segment is hit, the prizes on the wheel all rise, and the player chooses between banking the win and gambling on another spin. A golden hit raises later prizes by more than a smaller one does. Landing on a losing segment ends the feature with nothing. A player can gamble up to three times in total. The wheel pays a minimum of 15x the stake, and the 5,000x maximum is only reachable by hitting the golden segment on every spin.

A nudge feature exists for near misses: when the Bonus Wheel symbol is just out of view on the reel, the reel can be pushed into place to start the feature. Red Tiger also points to a recommended approach for the gamble, which is to take two spins and then collect.
