The wheel of fortune comes in many variations. The most common variation is also known as “money wheel”. It has a wheel that is six feet in diameter, stands vertically and rotates about a central horizontal axis. There are 54 segments on the wheel, each containing one of the following symbols: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 and a joker. 24 segments display $1, 15 segments display $2, 7 segments display $5, 4 segments display $10, 2 segments display $20 and 2 segments display the joker. This gives different symbols different probabilities of being selected and adds interest to the game. The dealer’s table is marked with the same symbols. The players place their bets on the symbol selected by them. They can also place bets on multiple symbols but each bet is treated independently. After the bets are placed the dealer spins the wheel of fortune. The segments are separated by spokes. There is a pointer mounted on a flexible rubber piece, which rubs against the spokes and slows the wheel down. When the wheel stops the pointer indicates the winning symbol. The payouts are as follows. $1 is paid out at 1:1, $2 is paid out at 2:1, $5 is paid out at 5:1, $10 is paid out at 10:1, $20 is paid out at 20:1 and the joker is paid out.
