Wheel Bonus gave me a heart attack at the pub last night
Mate the Wheel Bonus on that IGT machine is my fav thing at the pub, I swear the reel does the slow crawl when you're anywhere near the big wedges 😂 had a slap on Wheel of Fortune last Friday arvo and the whole bar went quiet while it ticked past the progressive. Nearly chucked my schooner.
And yeah the RTP thing gets me too, it's set per venue so the same pokie can play totally different from one pub to the next. No wonder some machines feel dead and others are firing. Reckon the TV show theme does half the work, gets everyone watching when the wheel spins 🎡🔥
Pure theatre for sure, my heart was doing triple time last night. Only problem is the theatre costs more than my bank can afford 🤣 deposited the last of it lol
One more spin, promise.
Half the bar's slowed its own breathing while that wheel crawls, I reckon it's pure theatre. IGT knows exactly what they're doing with that bonus 😉 ah well, we grind on.
The wheel crawl on Wheel of Fortune gets me every time too 😅 reckon it's half theatre but my heart doesn't care, still nearly dies when it ticks past a progressive.
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Gave the Wheel of Fortune a slap at my local a few weeks back, same crawl past the progressive, and I swear the fella next to me was leaning so far forward his beer went flat before the thing stopped 😄
The old girls like Queen of the Nile never had this sort of drama, they just paid you and got on with it. But yeah, half theatre on the wheel for sure. What I've noticed is it does that slow tick no matter where the pointer lands, you only remember the times it crawls past the big wedge. Funny thing about the venue machines, the RTP gets set by the venue itself within whatever the state minimum allows, so two pubs can run the same cabinet feeling completely different. Worth remembering next time the bar goes quiet 😉
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Ha, FreoDad that beer going flat bit got me 😂 I'm still learning bonuses so the wheel crawl proper does my head in, nearly dropped my drink on it too.

That flat beer bit got a laugh out of me FreoDad 😄 My spin at the club the other week the fella next to me actually stood up for the last few ticks of the wheel, hands on hips like it'd listen. What gets me on Wheel of Fortune is how the ticks get louder near the big wedges, or maybe that's just me. You young fellas Cairns_South, wait till it skips the progressive wedge by one and watch your heart sink anyway 😉
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
@MissFortuneWin99 hands on hips like the wheel owed him rent 😂 did he actually win anything or just a win on paper? The ticks near the big wedges are 100% louder, I reckon they do it on purpose.
Show me the withdrawal first 😏
The ticks getting louder is real, reckon IGT does it on purpose 😂 my Wheel Bonus at the club stopped one wedge off the grand and I nearly threw me hat 🔥🎰
@SlotQueen88 haha he actually got paid, landed on the A$50 wedge after all that drama 😂 reckons the ticks ramp up near the big wedges too and I believe it, my Wheel Bonus spins go dead quiet right before a dud 💀 Still my favourite wheel game though, nothing beats the ticks firing up 🔥🎰
One slot, one love 🎰
MissFortuneWin99 the tick sound getting louder is real, I noticed it too 😅 Though reckon half of that's me leaning into the screen at my local. Wheel of Fortune gets me every time.
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏

Those loud ticks are so distracting when I play Wheel of Fortune. Do those sounds even mean anything for the actual winning amounts or the odds? 🤔
New here, soaking it up.
@BrizzieTrue the ticks mean nothing, mate. Every wedge has the same odds no matter how loud it gets, the sound's just theatre to get you leaning forward. Same trick as near-miss music on pokies. Fun to listen to, useless for predicting anything.

The hit is close, I can feel it.
Nah the ticks are 100% louder near the big wedges, everyone at my local reckons the same. Last Friday on Wheel Bonus I was one wedge off the grand too and the whole bank of blokes went quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Missed it by that much, still got the mini and paid for me carton so can't complain too hard 😂
SpinToWin_Club I feel your pain mate, that hat throw is fully justified. It's my all-time favourite machine though, keeps dragging me back even after it robs me blind.Anyone who reckons the wheel doesn't have a personality hasn't stood in front of one for a few Fridays 🔥💰
One slot, one love 🎰
