"**How to Play Big Wheel:**
The rules of Big Wheel are very similar to roulette, but Big Wheel offers simpler betting options compared to roulette. Players simply need to select the number or symbol where they think the next spin of the wheel will land. Players place their chips on their chosen number or symbol to make their bets, and once the dealer indicates that no more bets can be placed, the wheel is spun.
When the spin concludes and the wheel stops on a particular number or symbol, the dealer collects all losing bets and pays out winning bets according to predetermined odds. Then, a new round begins, and players can place their bets again.
Occasionally, the Big Wheel may stop on an axis that separates each number or symbol—though this happens with very low probability. In such cases, the dealer declares the round void, and players can either retrieve their wagers from the table to use in the next spin or change their bets to a different symbol of their choice.
**What Are the Chances of Winning Big Wheel?**
Big Wheel is an excellent example for studying casino games. It is easy to play and understand, and it seems easy to win bets.
However, after analyzing the classic Big Wheel game, popular in Australia, it has been found that regardless of how you bet, the casino's house edge is approximately 7.69%. In other words, the player return rate (RTP) is 92.3%.
The house edge in other variations of Big Wheel in different countries may have slight differences, depending on the numbers or symbols on the wheel.
In fact, in some American casinos, the house edge can go as high as 24.07%.
The casino's advantage in the Big Wheel game (7.69%) means that the casino has a significant edge over the players in each spin.
**What Are the Odds in Big Wheel?**
Let's say you decide to bet on number 1. The Big Wheel has a total of 52 slots, with 24 of them being number 1, giving you a 46.15% chance of winning your bet.
How does this compare to betting on red or black in European roulette?
In European roulette, which has only one 0, there are 18 red slots, 18 black slots, and one green slot, for a total of 37 slots. If you bet on red or black, you have an 18/37 chance of winning, which is a 48.65% chance of winning.
In comparison, Big Wheel offers a slightly lower chance of winning at 46.15%.
Another thing to keep in mind when playing Big Wheel is to avoid falling into the gambler's fallacy trap. Remember that each spin is a completely random and independent event. Any patterns or apparent trends in previous numbers are simply random effects, and the game does not follow any predictable patterns.
Of course, don't be too disheartened by this. Big Wheel is a highly entertaining, fun, and fast-paced game. It is designed to be simple and easy to understand without losing its excitement, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of the game easily." |
