Reels of Wheels
About this machine
Reels of Wheels and Reels of Wheels Horsepower have been two of our top performing games. These originally launched on Ainsworth’s Wide Boy cabinet and is now available on our newest A-STAR Dual. Players aim to collect three (or more) scatter symbols triggering the Reels of Wheels Feature. Five corresponding wheels appear above the reels and spin to reveal guaranteed special symbols as well as multiplier wins. Free games is then played out with these guaranteed symbols.

Where Reels of Wheels sits in Ainsworth's range
Reels of Wheels is part of Ainsworth's Reels of Wheels line, which runs to 4 documented titles. Manufacturers ship a hit as a family rather than one box, so entries in a series share branding and often a bonus structure while carrying different maths.
It is listed on the A Star Dual cabinet. The cabinet is the hardware — screen geometry, button deck, chair and speakers — and the same title is frequently released on more than one, which is why a game can look and feel different at two properties.
Ainsworth lists it as a progressive. That does not make it a wide-area jackpot: most progressives build from play on that machine or that bank of machines inside one property, and reset locally. The wide-area systems — the ones where a meter is shared across dozens of casinos — are a much smaller, separately licensed set.
What's the RTP of Reels of Wheels?
There isn't one number — and any site quoting you a single figure is describing a different product.
Manufacturers ship the same title in multiple par versions, commonly spanning roughly 85% to 96%. The casino chooses which one to install, and that choice is not disclosed on the machine. Nevada regulation only sets a floor: every wager must theoretically return at least 75%.
What regulators actually publish is hold percentage — realised performance after player behaviour, aggregated by region and denomination. It is never broken out by game title. So the honest answer for any land-based machine is a range plus an unknown configuration, not a single figure.
Figures quoted elsewhere for this title are almost always taken from its online version, which is a different product with a different maths model.
Where to play
We don't yet have verified floor placements for this machine. Our casino cross-reference covers 442 properties, but only through IGT's public linked-progressive data — which doesn't reach Ainsworth titles. We would rather show nothing than guess.
Rest of the Reels of Wheels line
All 4 Reels of Wheels machines →4 titles carry this branding. They share artwork and usually a bonus structure, but each ships its own maths.
