4 Supercharged Clovers: Super Wheel Slot Review

A neon fruit machine sitting inside a giant prize wheel, and the wheel is the whole idea: every bonus round opens with a spin of it before a single respin gets played.

Underneath that it is a hold and win. Five reels, three rows, five fixed paylines, cherries and lemons and a fat gold bell. Gold clovers land carrying cash values and pay nothing whatsoever in the main game, which sounds harsh until the bonus arrives and the board turns almost entirely to clovers. The round is capped at 15,000x, and five jackpot plaques run down the left rail from MINI at 15x up to SUPER at 10,000x.

This is the fourth Supercharged title and a straight sequel to the clover hold and win Playson put out in February. Same three coloured feature clovers, same expanding bonus board. The wheel is the new part, and it is a better addition than most sequels bother with.

Irish luck plugged into the mains. The 5x3 grid sits inside an enormous chrome-rimmed wheel that fills the frame, everything lit by crackling blue lightning against near black, gold 5x, 10x and MAJOR segments arcing across the top and heaps of gold clover coins piled along the rim. Symbols are classic bar-top fruit in heavy gloss: plum, lemon, orange, cherries, grapes, watermelon, a fat gold bell, a yellow BAR plaque, and a red 7 doing wild duty.

The clovers carry the identity. A diamond-cut Super Clover throwing white light, three neon feature clovers in pink, blue and green captioned MULTI, COLLECT and MYSTERY, and gold clovers with their cash value stamped across the petals. Five jackpot plaques stack down the left rail, SUPER at the top, MINI at the bottom, rescaling as the stake moves. One honest gripe about all that chrome: the wheel turning behind the reels during normal play is scenery and nothing else, which the game admits outright, and the main game loses a bit of its charge once that lands.

The main game is a waiting room. Five paylines across fifteen cells means most spins return nothing or a fraction of the stake, and with the wild locked out of reel 1 the better line hits get shaved before they can form. Four low fruit on a line pays 3x. That is the texture of it.

Then the bonus lands and it is a different game entirely. The wheel resolves first, so the round opens with its award already on the board and at least six symbols down, and from there the tension moves to the respin counter emptying while gold clovers drop into the gaps. Rounds running Multi feel best, because the frames pile up in plain sight and the round visibly builds. Collect on its own resolves fast and often flatly.

Volatility is unrated: nothing in the game puts a number on it, and Playson has not published one. The one clue it carries is that the 15,000x ceiling comes up about once in ten billion rounds, which puts the top prize in lottery territory even though nothing says much about the everyday swing. One practical annoyance, and it will grate: a full Super Bonus takes a dozen or more manual spin presses to play out.

The wheel earns the sequel. Bolting a guaranteed twelve-segment spin onto the front of every bonus is a small change with a large effect, and a MAJOR off that wheel refunds a 100x buy before the respins even start. Everything around it is standard Playson hold and win, built well and built before.

The price of admission is the honest problem. 95.70% sits below where this genre usually lands, and the bonus buy at 100x of total bet is steep enough that a couple of flat rounds bite. Playson also keeps the buy and Extra Bet RTPs to itself, which is common enough and still not good. The single meaningful upgrade over the February game is the wheel, and that is probably enough.
