The giant wheel concept is good ... the fact two people can fit in comfortable chairs in a great idea.

Trust me ... I really want to play the game.

However, the bonus round does not pay. If you are playing a 1-cent machine, you have to pony up 40 extra cents per spin, for the priveledge of trying to win the top prize of $100.00. It just gets worse --- an extra 80 cents per spin for a chance to win $200.00. When you paying $1.60 a spin, a $20 bill is just not lasting long.

The game itself is just a coin guzzler. If you are forking over the loot for the bonus reel, the game itself should pay back medium amounts with more frequency. IGT needs to get better test groups to understand whether they are making a fun game. Fact is, IGT is losing floor space as Aristocrat and WMS gaming gobble it up. IGT needs to stop "killing" their successful franchises, by putting out thoughtless sequels like "Texas Tina", "Super Sally's Shrimpmania" --- and how about exploiting successful games such as The Munsters (if not a sequal, the same game mechanics)?
