Wheels of Fortune

Wheels of Fortune have been a prominent feature of Megapolis ever since the original Wheel of Fortune's debut on December 18, 2012.

In the original Wheels of Fortune, a player would spend three Megabucks to spin a roulette wheel and receive one of six potential prizes of rare and unique Buildings. (In a repeated Wheel of Fortune, the price was reduced to two or even one for a brief time as short as 24 hours.) The player's goal is to keep spinning the roulette until all six Buildings have been collected. At this time, the player will receive the Reward Building, which is usually significant and powerful.

Do-overs are indefinitely allowed unless the player cannot afford another spin. A player is likely to collect more than one copy of a Building. Buildings could also be received from Neighbors, at which point, the player does not need to spin to obtain the copies of the received Buildings. Once the Reward Building has been placed in-game, additional copies can be bought for a fee of seven Megabucks each.

While the essential principles of Wheels of Fortune still apply to Ultrapolis, there is some variation. Instead of spinning a virtual wheel, a player will be given a D6 (that is, a six-sided die). Each Building will have an assigned number, and whenever the player rolls the number of a Building they are given it as a prize. The cost to do this has not been determined; however, developers believe it will be around U$50. Once all the prizes have been collected at least once, the player will receive the Reward Building for free, and may buy additional copies (the price has not been permanently determined).

Unlike in the Megapolis version, if a player obtains six or more copies of a Building, they may exchange five copies for one copy of another Building that has not already been obtained. Bad Luck Games staff felt this was fair because a player would have potentially spent U$300 on a single Building, thus, U$250 of that can go to obtaining another Building that could earn them the Reward Building.

In Ultrapolis terms, the Wheels of Fortune cards are all Foils, and the Reward Building is a Platinum Card.
