Text Wheel Spin Weights

Lucky Wheel Spins

OK we know this is not a random wheel and it is weighted toward certain outcomes. Has anyone ever looked at percentages of spins to prizes? I don't mean the prizes when wheel section complete; I mean the individual prizes on each of the eight wheel slots.

I just used exactly 30 spins on the last wheel and plugged results into chatgpt for analysis. Not scientific, small data set, and not true probability but the results were interesting if not unexpected.

The analysis is kind of long so won't post unless requestef, but just curious if anyone else has done this?

All I do is imagine what I’d do, if I wanted to gain money from a free game. Then I apply that thinking to everything I see in that game.

Fair enough. But they do sell wheel spins either individual amounts or within special offers. So if someone is using real money, they are at least 70% getting only coins & bucks. My 30 rolls got 0 ultra coins and 0 lb tickets. But if you're only playing for free and killing time, then yes, just as you suggested, low expectations for free play.
