Webman,On the first help screen, it says, "You can cash out to redeem revealed Wheel values in all Wheels for credit value."I presume that this is something that is possible in casinos but not on this Web site?  Does it mean that rather than continuing play when you have an incomplete Wheel, you can get some percentage of the values that you have built so far?  If not, what does this statement mean?Thanks 

[Webman]

Yes, that's exactly what it means... it's a feature in the casino so you don't have to walk away from the machine with a wheel partially built up, to have someone else sneak in and play the rest of it.

Interesting.  Is it a straight percentage of the sum of the accumulated wheel parts?  Are you planning on installing that feature here so that this experience is the same as in a casino?

[New2vp]

It seems that this game is not as well-suited for a contest or a challenge as are many other games, especially without the cash-out feature.  It looks to me that in a 100-game contest, there is only a 20% chance of getting even one spin from a completed wheel.  With 200 games, there is still only a 61% chance, meaning 2 out of 5 contestants will come up spin-empty.  Based on the current STP thread, where people lament playing several consecutive hands without a multiplier, this would likely leave many dissatisfied.However, I can see that in a casino, this game would be difficult to quit if you had built up at least one wheel piece until after completing the wheel and taking that last spin.

I love this game!

My understanding is that the 4000 and 10000 tiles are weighted to be rarity, but the "filled in" tiles have an equal 1 in 6 chance of being spun...

One suggestion! When you win the amount on the spin and the number jumps forward, it gets all pixely... smooth that out for me!

Oh also, this build a wheel could translate into some sort of a progressive group of linked machines. Everytime someone one a royal it could add a tile to the big one. Then the final royal winner gets to spin. Or a tile could be an accumulating amount.

This machine would be really cool with the overlay screens. The wheel could come down on the front screen. I don't know how else to describe it, but the Greenback Attack machine at my casino uses those screens.

Played these machines at Harrahs, Flamingo and Caesars Palace over the past weekend. (April 1-4)   During the first few Franklins my wife was dealt four Kings and all the wheel slices filled in at 3500.   The spin landed on the 3500 and we both felt that was one great game.    But during the many other times playing during our trip being dealt three of a kind was rare.   A few times you would ge three slices with one Franklin.  Nut then you would have to put in in 3 or 4 hundred more to get that last slice.  Then on the spin you would get 575 credits.   
 
This was an experiment, with the first great hit, a few good hits, but why more losers.  I will be interested in what other players say about their experience with Build a Wheel.

If you have been playing and "filled in some slices" IF you switch games do you lose those slices??
