Abstract
A slot machine is configured to have a main game comprising a multi-reel payline mechanical reel or video reel slot arrangement with at least five reels and five or more paylines and a secondary event game comprising a rotating wheel bonus game. Whenever the player achieves a combination of symbols on the main game that awards the player with the secondary event game, the number of spins provided to the player to play the secondary event rotating wheel game is based on the number of paylines that the player has played on the main game or by the number of credits wagered on each payline. Alternatively, the number of spins awarded to the player on the secondary event game can be determined by the symbol combinations achieved by the player on the main game. All spins of the rotating wheel bonus game are winning spins.
