Spinner Wheel is ridiculous...

I disagree, I won 4 good prizes with 10 spins (Plough King, Helter Shelter, Xmas Krabbapel building and Xmas Skinner house). One more spin after that got the skyscraper. It's luck, y'know?

I know it comes down to luck, but it kind of screws over those of us who've spent donuts on stuff from last year's Christmas items, for instance the snowmen. I'd already had the snowmen from last year, and wasted several spins to get things I already had.

Also, luck is one thing, but the chance of getting cash (that really no high level, long term players need), is crap, merely because the chance is so ludicrously high, despite it appearing as only a 30% chance. It's dishonest, simply put. The honest approach, at least given my experience with the wheel, would be to place 8 cash prizes, 1 gift card prize, and 1 actually wanted prize (the buildings, character, skins).

You get a spin a day, thats 27 spins or more, y spend donuts?

Because I assure you, 27 spins won't be anywhere near enough chances to get what I wanted, which were the Plow King Barney skin, the Ice Goddess decoration, the Skinner Christmas House skin, and the Helter Shelter and Clausco buildings. I literally needed 84 spins to land on those. The vast majority were useless cash prizes, and about 15-20% were gift card prizes, with a few landing on snowmen of the Simpsons family I already had.

RNG isn't it?
I'm very limited on donuts tho, so I'm going to (TRY) to hold off spending any for spins and use my 1 free one per day and hope I get good stuff out of that.

Good luck, I hope you have much better luck than I did.

If you have 100 friends and visit them daily you will clock up the 30,000 gift cards for all the individual prizes in under 10 days.

From there every 1000 gift cards you get more spin tokens (not sure how many)

Even if it's just one for every extra 1000 gift cards, you could easily get 3 per day from visiting 100 friends, so for the last ~18 days of the event that's 54 free spins, plus the 27 from one per day is 81 free spins... So yeah I won't be spending donuts on tokens

Good luck, but personally I don't have either the time or patience to visit 100 friends everyday for the next 27 days.
