This variant of the classic Quick Hit Platinum adds the bonus feature of a roof-mounted wheel spin
Quick Hit Platinum + (Bally, 2016?)
Review by: C. M0use
A variant of Quick Hit Platinum that makes the bonus feature a wheel spin mounted on top of the cabinet instead of the top-mounted second video screen or marquee the other games have. Which means you have to tilt your head back if you want to watch it play out, which I found annoying (probably not great if you have any neck issues either).
But like its forebear it’s still definitely of the “smaller but more frequent” wins school of low volatility among the Quick Hit games, especially if you’re low rolling (a 30 cent minimum bet to cover all lines, ranging up to 1.50 max with the standard configuration). I think the idea is to tempt you into betting bigger, as the wheel’s grand prize is only 15x your wager.
Of course the real money is in the Quick Hit scatter symbols that count anywhere on the playfield, as is almost always true with these games. Just 3x returns your bet, and 4x is 5x your wager, which is another big contributor to the feeling of low volatility.
The original Quick Hit Plat is one I look for on casino floors, but you don’t see a whole lot (because they don’t tend to care for 30 cent bet games that are low volatility). I’ll definitely consider playing this one lacking other options but the awkward wheel spin bonus puts me off.
