    I HATE THE WHEEL SO MUCH.

    I don't pay for donuts so I don't come by a spin token very often (a few a day) and the last TEN spins have been money.

    Freaking ridiculous.

    All I want is Mr. Plow and Plow King. I don't even give a crap anymore about the yeti or snowmen.

    I somehow lucked out getting Clause Co. and Helter Shelter towards the beginning but its been nothing but money since. I had all the lights from last year already.

    They should have made everything an equal chance and it lands on whatever depending on how fast the wheel is spun like in real life.

    Have patience, there is plenty of time left with this update, and once you hit 30,000 gift cards you'll start getting more free spin tokens to use.

    You'll get it. I have 5 prizes left to get, and I keep landing on money. But I'm not fretting yet, we have about 2 weeks left of the wheel, have faith and patience! :)

    I used my donuts on the wheel and got some pretty good stuff. I felt dumb doing it after hearing about the hunting Simpson task. After getting lots of tokens from that and only getting money, I don't feel so bad. I've had no luck with th e wheel with free tokens.

    Nope...... you are trapped in the mysterious world of statistics.

    I got all the premium stuff within 30 spins...... but now I cant seem to hit gift cards, only cash.

    google "normal distribution graph" ........ you are stuck in the left side where you have been "unlucky" so far. I bet you will hit the high end soon :wink:

    I used donuts for the top items, it took me about 50 spins. Absolutely agree that I'm stuck in that little rut and expect some golds and silvers mixed in at some point.

    I push (without spinning the wheel) to where the arrow is. Once the item is marked where the arrow is, I lightly spinned the wheel. I noticed this works at a higher rate then randomly spinning the wheel to get the prize you want.

    I'm just awaiting some more coins to get the last snow god man. You guys should try it and I'm sure you will get all of them.

    Save up coins and do multiple spins in one session. If you exit out after a spin, the wheel goes back to its default position and probably why you keep wining the same thing. If you either move the wheel slowly on your own or spin again after a spin, it will be in a different position that the default and you're more likely to win something different.

    I just have the Snowball II snowcat left to win. Haven't spent a single donut on the wheel coins. All free spins. Mostly Egg Nog bar and gift carding over 30,000. Only found ONE token in a present - my first token actually.

    Glad for you!

    All I seem to get are worthles in-game $ In fact this rigged wheel is doom is spoiling the update for me. This morning the wheel wouldn't start and I kept trying and suddenly after moving a bit like it was actualing starting I get the money, no real spin! :evil:

    Ok people stop saying the wheel is rigged. Everytime you spin you have a 1 in 10 chance at winning something. If it was "rigged" like the OP claims it would have happened to everyone, since I have cleared the wheel with the exception of one set of lights it just proves its not rigged.

    Play more, whine less, not everyone will clear the wheel, I know in todays world everyone thinks things should be handed to them, but in reality life does not work that way.

    *, I already got + 74000 tickets and I still dont have Clausco. Today I only got cash (from 8 coins). I gave up on the part 18 quest, I was getting tired of it.

    Don't want anything handed to me. I'd be glad to buy last years items, like in the Halloween update. Might not clear the wheel but I won't pay real money for the missing items.

    I bet EA will bring this again as it looks like its making a lot of money for them from the completists and impatient gamers. Good trick!

    Yes, they deliberately programed the wheel to not give you nothing because EA hates you. If you have proof fine, since you do not stop whining like a frakking baby and grow up, its a game.

    Overall, I'm not impressed with the wheel.

    Rigged, well, still on the fence on that one but there is definitely a problem with how it works, here is a clear example of not getting the prize the wheel stopped on, and the prize I should have got was Mr Plow and I ended up with a snowman, which I didn't get last year and wasn't going to bother with them this year either!
