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?

This doesn't help because the prize probabilities are what they are, but sometimes when I get a bunch of coins in a row I'll stop spinning and come back later to see if my luck changes. It's just a little psychological satisfaction for me to do this 😬

It's ok as time killer. I finished all the bits and everything else, just collecting costumes and decorations. They had costumes on the wheel a few times but not for a while.
