The spin game is unfair

Never hold a grudge...... there are so many things that are much more fun to hold......

:wink:

3 spins, all lights.

Well I finally got claus co after purchasing another 20 coins. All I have left is the Yetti.

I should have just gone to Vegas

I will gladly pay donuts for them right now. Because this "chance" is a bunch of BS.
I just spun the wheel 40 times. I have a 3/10 chance of hitting the cash. I just hit cash 38 times.
So ya ill pay for the donuts to get the last 2 items I have left. Granted I got all the snowmen, plow king and all the other items minus yetti and Claus co. and no lie one spin the pointer was toggleing between yetti and cash, I said finally!! Nope it gave me cash!
This thing is a joke, and I NEVER complain about this game, but this Is junk.

This just happened to me. Arrow pointing at the yeti, yet I was awarded $1000 dollars. I took a pic. I could send it to EA, but I doubt there's anything they could do. Oh well.

Update: After the yeti incident I decided to purchase ten tokens. First spin was cash and I was starting to regret it. Well the following spins were: snowplow homer, yeti(woohoo), Helter shelter, Lisa snow man, homer snowman, grandpa snowman, cash, crabapple facade, cash.

Very happy right now.

I was starting to get annoyed with it today. But I got a token from a gift bag AND spun to win Claus Co. My face :shock: Too bad it's in my B game.

Other question, my B game was started in July, so I have nothing. And in that game I've found 2 spin tokens in gift bags whereas game A, with all the lights, has found no extra tokens. It's like, my games know which game I need to win more stuff in and are compensating with extra coins. Anyone else have this happening?

I'm was over 15000 gift cards when I got my first coin from a bag this morning. Then during my lunch sweep for presents I received another. So the first 4 days nothing, then suddenly 2 today. Won lights for willies shack and cash.

I would love to see the wheel odds breakdown as it would give us a hint as to how many donuts we need to get everything. But my current theory is the game only let's you land on one of 20 positions, 10 which are the middle of the segment, 10 on the edge. As others have observed, any edge landing automatically goes to the lesser of the two options. So with 3 moneies, and this being the lowers, the odds of getting it is not 30% but 45%, or almost one time in 2! This is why in my 2 spins today I not only got two worthless monies, the dial landed on exactly the same segment both times, in the middle of the money just after the yeti! Grrr.

I spent 150 donuts on 30 spins and cleared all the prizes with 5 spins left.



a word about "fair" and "chance"........

A coin is exactly 50/50 chance for heads and tails. If you were to toss 99 heads on the trot, the chance of the next toss being a head is still exactly 50/50!

stats have no memory.

A coin has two equal sides. This wheel is like rolling a six sided die with one side that is 100% smaller than the others. Also, the game does have a limited memory because it replaces prizes with garbage. While your chances of landing on that spot do not change, your chances of earning garbage as opposed to something good actually diminish with every win. Thats a serious problem.

Also, to the people talking about probability...unless you take that data mined information as fact, you have to throw a lot of coins at the game to take a decent sample. If you do that (100+ coins) the uneven distribution becomes ridiculously obvious.

I see no evidence posted that suggests uneven distribution. There are as many "I have done really well" posters as "I was screwed" posters while if the wheel was indeed rigged big time, then evrryonewould be saying "I was screwed"

ok..... it is biased. But..... we are not seeing that bias here...... and any statistician will tell you that posts on a forum are mostly boasts from those doing well, and those doing badly.

thus we can assume that, since good reports at least equal bad reports, there is no significant skew in the distribuition.

I could be totally wrong and as evidence mounts the true pattern will reveal itself...... but I do not think that the evidence supports it yet.
