Re: [vpFREE] Re: Sam's Town Mystery My Aunt F( )<#!*g Fanny

Someone wrote: <<did u ever watch players play wheel of fortune ? When they spin the wheel do you think all outcomes have an equal chance from 20$$ to 1000$$ even though the spaces are equal on the wheel ? >>

I wrote in one of my books:

Now, I really hate to have to write about the next misconception; I feel like I'm telling a room full of kindergartners that there's no Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy. If you don't want to have your dreams spoiled, then you better skip these next few paragraphs.

Let's examine the Wheel of Fortune for a lesson. I often stop to watch when the bonus is activated on this machine; I bet you do too. You can actually see the player and the watchers with big eyes, holding their breath as the wheel slows down near a big number. And when it just misses, you can hear the collective sigh of disappointment. I know most people think that the player almost had that big payoff, that if the momentum of the wheel had been just a little more, or less, the player would have hit "the big one." Casinos-and slot manufacturers-know human nature; they know that this feature will get people to play longer. "I'm getting so close! I can just feel that I'm going to hit the big payoff soon."

The fact of the matter is that this player had no chance of getting the big bonus on this particular spin even though the wheel almost got to the largest number. Bonus wins are chosen the same way the base game chooses outcomes: by the RNG. The bonus had already been chosen by the RNG before the wheel started turning. You don't have an equal chance of the wheel stopping at any one of the bonus number. This isn't a mechanical wheel governed by the laws of gravity; it's an electronic device governed by the RNG, operating in the same way I talked about earlier in this chapter.

". . . . . it is hard to believe they would not see the drawing as a way to reward who they want to reward. . . . . ."
=====
Why?

Not, "hard to believe", but "reward who they want to reward."

The only thing I can think of is steering the reward to those with a "high roller" history. Seems unfair, but I suppose it makes sense from the casino's viewpoint.
