One of the oldest casino games around often seen in the movie westerns is the wheel of fortune, otherwise known as the big wheel. This is an out and out game of luck requiring no skill but does require you to decide on your level of gambling as well as your stake. The wheel will generally have approximately 52 divisions around the circumference (that’s a big word meaning the outside edge of a circle) marked by pins and a fixed pendulum made of rubber. As the big wheel spins the rubber pendulum bends is moved aside by the pins; the wheel eventually slows and stops and the winning number or symbol is determined by the division in which the rubber pendulum stops. There are generally only 7 numbers or symbols in total and there are more of some symbols than others on the wheel, the more times a number or symbol appears on the wheel the more likely that symbol is to come up and therefore the lower the odds are on that number or symbol. Unfortunately the wheel of fortune is becoming less and less popular in online casinos and the only one in the casinos we recommend is in Paddy Power and they call it “Money Wheel”. This game is slightly different from the traditional game of big wheel in the number of segments and the odds offered but it is in effect the same game. You can also play free big wheel at Paddy Power to try it out. Other games that pretend to be similar can be found at William Hill, BetFred, Bet365 or 888 casino and these are called such names as Spin a win or Wild Wheel but these are in effect more akin to roulette with fewer numbers. Wheel of Fortune is a quick and easy online casino game so give it a go.
