How shady is the big wheel?
All I can think about is Young Lister from Red Dwarf saying that everything's "totally shady". But "totally" wasn't an option :(

Yeah very shady. Mine landed on the Ice god but awarded me dollars. I can't figure out how to post pictures here but if someone can help me out with that I'll gladly share the proof. I've now spent 500 donuts on that stupid wheel. I got everything but Ice god (which was cheated away from me) the Yeti (which is what I badly want) and the shelter. Reported this to EA with the picture but they haven't responded. Anyhow, Merry Christmas.
Same thing happened to me, don't worry I have evidence :wink:
I'll go find my picture.
Edit: found it
If you want to post pictures here, download imgur or imgupr or something similar. It allows you to upload pics from your camera roll and copy the IMG code, you paste it here and you should have a picture :-)
Took me like 40 tries to get them all
Wait....Crusty is the host of this spin game...does that say anything at all? He steals jokes, well known as "shady"...... Hmmm.DJDK-ec wrote:
Your question should be: How misleading is the wheel, in making you think each section has the odds of 10% each (which a real wheel would be, especially since all 10 sections are the same size)?
If you look at the true odds posted by spAnser (I think), then you would realise it is just like a homer buddah. = crapy odds for something good.
Exactly. Apparently I'm an idiot for stating as such without having hacked the game and data mined the files to discover the actual odds.- You know what? I've actually had great luck with the wheel. I didn't play last winter, so with what I got I am really happy...On 32 spins I got everything but the Yeti, blue house Christmas lights and the Indian God snowman thing.
On my free spin today I got the ClausCo Building! So if I get nothing else from the rest of my free rolls, I'm happy regardless. Getting all of those items for 150 donuts? That is a steal. I would've spent way more purchasing those things if they were for sale. Even though I would have forgone purchasing the snowmen, although I did enjoy the episode they were in (when Bart steals the video game he wanted and Marge buys him a lame golf game). - So far, out of my 2 spins, it appears to be rigged. I had a 20% and 30% chance of getting something I already had, and that's what I got both times. The odds were in my favor twice to get something new, but it didn't happen. Guess I'll wait and see.

Apparently, I have been extremely lucky as well (knock on wood) because I got the Ice God on my first spin yesterday, got a 2nd coin from a gift present, which landed my the Krabappel Apts lights, and then Mr. Plow skin for Homer on my coin today. The Mr. Plow skin was actually the item I wanted the most. I was playing when it was available last year, but didn't have anywhere close to enough donuts. I am very happy with the wheel and I haven't spent any donuts on it either.- 100% shady

Oh what a joke!! I'm outraged for you! :lol: I can deal with my rip off because if it had landed where it should have, I only would have received gift cards, but you missed on on a good prize!- If your complaining that the wheel is too shady don't pay donuts for it. No ones forcing you to spend money on the tokens.

That's exactly what happened to me! Soooo frustrating! :evil:- I've actually had great luck so far. I didn't play last year so I was happy for all the lights, but I also got Mr Plow and Plow King as well as almost all of the snowmen and Claus Co.
Bought 20 tokens with donuts, but as soon as some of the prizes turned into money and gift cards I stopped. Now I'm just gonna try my luck with the free tokens, because it's def not worth spending donuts on in-game money! Especially when I have 20+ FREE chances left to get the last prizes.
