Playing big wheel at las vegas casinos
Big wheel, sometimes referred to as big 6 or wheel of fortune, is generally the worst game in a casino. The lone exception may be live keno.
The video versions of big wheel offer a slightly better payout than the live counterparts. However, there’s still no reason to play this game. The house edge on other luck games, including slot machines, roulette, craps, and baccarat, are usually much lower than big wheel.
The video version involves a real wheel. The player makes wagers on a touchscreen. A player either pulls the slot handle or pushes a button on the touch screen to spin the wheel. The video version usually has fewer numbers on it and two $50 payouts. This makes it more favorable than the live version in terms of house edge. The attract function on the machine states this over and over when nobody is playing it.

Big six
Introduction
This name goes by various names: big six, wheel of fortune, money wheel, big wheel, and lucky wheel. Whatever the name, it is a big vertical wheel where the player bets on the number it will stop on. The odds are conveniently the same as the number. For example, a bet on 5 will pay 5 to 1.
The odds are pretty bad but at least you can count it usually being staffed by the front door with an attractive well-endowed dealer. Just one of those vegas traditions.

Macau rules
In macau there is a similar game. One or two wheels each can be found in the larger casinos. It does not seem to be a popular game there. The game wheel is the same size, but instead of dollars, it has colors. The table below shows the number of stops on the wheel, probability, and return for each bet. The table shows the best bet is tied for orange, purple, and green, at 7.69% each.

Australia rules
The star city casino in sydney has a similar game, called the "big wheel." instead of money, it uses native australian animals. As the following table shows, the house edge is the same on all bets at 7.69%.

Aruze & interblock lucky big wheel
Aruze and interblock are makers of electronic table games. They both make a big six wheel that are mathematically equivalent. The following tables show the bets available, the number of stops for each one, the probability of winning, and house edge.
Aruze and interblock big six wheel
| bet | pays | number on wheel | probability | house edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 1 | 26 | 48.15% | 3.70% |
| $3 | 3 | 13 | 24.07% | 3.70% |
| $6 | 6 | 7 | 12.96% | 9.26% |
| $12 | 12 | 4 | 7.41% | 3.70% |
| $25 | 25 | 2 | 3.70% | 3.70% |
| flag | 50 | 1 | 1.85% | 5.56% |
| joker | 50 | 1 | 1.85% | 5.56% |
| total | 54 | 100.00% |
In addition, aruze makes another version with a $6.50 symbol instead of $6 and the joker and flag bets pay 52 instead of 50. This more liberal wheel I've seen at the star city casino in sydney, australia. The full odds are below.
Aruze lucky big wheel — australian version
| bet | pays | number on wheel | probability | house edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 26 | 48.15% | 3.70% |
| 3 | 3 | 13 | 24.07% | 3.70% |
| 6.5 | 6.5 | 7 | 12.96% | 2.78% |
| 12 | 12 | 4 | 7.41% | 3.70% |
| 25 | 25 | 2 | 3.70% | 3.70% |
| joker | 52 | 1 | 1.85% | 1.85% |
| flag | 52 | 1 | 1.85% | 1.85% |
| total | 54 | 100.00% |
The house edge on both versions of the aruze game is significantly less than standard big six, with a live dealer.
Gamesys
Internet casinos using gamesys software have two wheel of fortune games. Both have a 49-stop wheel with prizes of $1, $3, $7, $15, $23, and $47. The following table shows the number of stops of each win, what it pays, probability of winning, and house edge. As you can see, every bet has a house edge of 2.04%. That is the best big six/wheel of fortune game I've ever seen, by far.
Gamesys version
| bet | pays | number on wheel | probability | house edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 24 | 0.489796 | 0.020408 |
| 3 | 3 | 12 | 0.244898 | 0.020408 |
| 7 | 7 | 6 | 0.122449 | 0.020408 |
| 15 | 15 | 3 | 0.061224 | 0.020408 |
| 23 | 23 | 2 | 0.040816 | 0.020408 |
| logo | 47 | 1 | 0.020408 | 0.020408 |
| joker | 47 | 1 | 0.020408 | 0.020408 |
| total | 49 | 1.000000 |
The also have a "zero house edge" version. In that game the rules are the same, except:
- If the wheel stops on the logo, then any bet besides the logo shall push, instead of lose.
- If the wheel stops on the joker, then any bet on the logo shall push, instead of lose.
By changing one stop from a loss to a push on all bets, that does indeed make the house edge exactly 0.00%. However, there is a catch. The player must pay a 10% commission on any net win per "gambling session." any break between bets of an hour or more shall end a session and no session may last over 24 hours.
I saw this machine at the 2018 global gaming expo. The bonus issues prizes on a separate prize wheel of 5, 20, 50, 100, 250, and 100. I have no idea how they are weighted, so am leaving the return on that one a question mark.
Aruze lucky big wheel — american version
| bet | number on wheel | probability | house edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2 | 24 | 46.15% | 7.69% |
| $4 | 12 | 23.08% | 7.69% |
| $6 | 8 | 15.38% | 7.69% |
| $16 | 3 | 5.77% | 7.69% |
| $24 | 2 | 3.85% | 7.69% |
| $48 | 1 | 1.92% | 7.69% |
| bonus | 2 | 3.85% | ? |
| Total | 52 | 100.00% |
Interblock big six
Yet another interblock product is titled "big six." it follows the same rules as the australian version, except adds two more slices to the wheel titled "super spin." if the player bets on super spin and the wheel lands in one of those two slices on the wheel, then an electronic wheel in the middle of the big wheel will spin to determine the win. Possible wins are 20, 50, 75, 100, 500, and 1000. I do not know how this inner wheel is weighted. Company literature I obtained at the 2019 global gaming expo indicated there are five different pay tables for the super spin feature. Since then, I saw the game at the resorts world casino in new york city.
The following table shows the return of each bet. Wins are on a "to one" basis. The table shows a return of 88.89% on all bets (or 11.11% house edge) except the super spin, which I can't quantify without knowing the wheel weightings.

Craps
Roll your way to big wins with our stunning version of this classic casino game.
Overflowing with betting options, craps sees the player betting on the outcome of the two dice being rolled. Going on a hot streak can see players accumulate huge winnings.
Our craps game includes all of the standard side bets, including big 6 & big 8 bets, any 7 bets, any craps bets and horn bets.
The stunning HD graphics and unique voiceover ensures a truly memorable casino experience.
How to play
Craps is one of the most exciting casino games around with a history that dates back to the crusades.
We believe we have created one of the best looking craps casino games online; in addition to having enhanced odds in relation to our competitors.
Now let's get started on the rules. The game is played with 2 dice. The roll is determined by the sum of the dice to give a number from 2-12. Players bet on what the outcome of the roll will be.
The pass line
The pass line bet is generally considered to be the most popular bet in craps.
The bet can be made at the start of the game before the 'come out' roll, when the game is 'off'.
To make the bet, click on the pass line to add the desired bet amount to the table then click roll to roll the dice.
If a 7 or 11 is rolled, the bet pays even money (1:1). If 'craps' (2, 3 or 12) is rolled, the bet loses.
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) is rolled, that number becomes the 'point' and the game is now 'on'.
The ON token is placed on a number-box to indicate the point.
To win the bet from here, the point must be rolled again before a 7 is rolled - this pays even money.
If a 7 is rolled before the point is rolled again, the bet loses.
If any number other than the point or 7 is rolled, the bet remains 'in play' on the table and the dice are rolled again.
This continues until the bet is resolved; at which time the game becomes off, the point is reset and a new come out roll is rolled.
The don't pass line
The don't pass line bet is the opposite of a pass line bet, and can be placed on the 'don't pass bar' when the game is off.
The bet pays even money if a 2 or 3 is rolled, and loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled. If a 12 is rolled, the bet is returned in a push.
Any other number establishes the point and the game becomes on.
To win the bet from here, a 7 must be rolled before the point is rolled again - this pays even money.
If the point is rolled before a 7, the bet loses.
If any number other than the point or 7 is rolled, the bet remains 'in play' on the table and the dice are rolled again.
This continues until the bet is resolved; at which time the game becomes off, the point is reset and a new come out roll is rolled.
The come bet
The come bet is effectively the same bet as the pass line bet, except you can only make the bet when the game is on.
To make a come bet, put your chips in the area labelled 'come'.
The bet pays even money if the next roll is either a 7 or an 11.
The bet loses if the next roll is craps (2, 3 or 12).
If any other number is rolled, that number becomes the 'come point' and the come bet is moved from the 'COME' area to the box corresponding to the come point.
The bet pays even money if the come point is rolled before a 7.
If a 7 is rolled before the come point, the bet loses.
The don't come bet
The don't come bet is effectively the same as the don't pass line bet, except you can only make the bet when the game is on.
Click on the 'don't come bar' to make the bet.
If the next roll is a 2 or 3, the bet pays even money.
The bet loses if the next roll is a 7 or 11, and pushes on a 12.
If any other number is rolled, that number becomes the 'don't come point' and the don't come bet is moved from the 'don't come bar' to the box corresponding to the don't come point.
The bet pays even money if a 7 is rolled before the don't come point.
If the don't come point is rolled before a 7, the bet loses.
Odds bets are an extension of the pass, don't pass, come, and don't come bets that you can make once the point for that bet has been established.
Odds bets win and lose with their associated bet, but they are paid at true odds.
Unlike the original pass, don't pass, come and don't come bets, odds bets can be removed after any roll.
Click on max odds to maximise your bet.
Pass line odds bets
To make a pass line odds bet, click outside of the pass line where it says odds.
A winning pass line odds bet pays true odds: 2:1 when the point is 4 or 10, 3:2 when the point is 5 or 9, and 6:5 when the point is 6 or 8.
Don't pass line odds bets
To make a don't pass line odds bet, click on the tramlines beneath 'don't pass bar'.
Don't pass line odds pay 1:2 when the point is 4 or 10; 2:3 when the point is 5 or 9, and 5:6 when the point is 6 or 8.
Come and don't come odds bets
Come and don't come odds bets are placed on top of the come and don't come bets, after they have been moved to the point's box.
Come odds bets pay the same as pass line odds: 2:1 when the come point is 4 or 10, 3:2 when the come point is 5 or 9, and 6:5 when the come point is 6 or 8.
Don't come odds bets pay the same as don't pass line odds: 1:2 when the don't come point is 4 or 10, 2:3 when the don't come point is 5 or 9, and 5:6 when the don't come point is 6 or 8.
A field bet wins if the next roll of the dice is a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12.
To make a field bet, place your chips on the field.
If a 2 is rolled you are paid double your initial bet (2:1).
Rolling a 12 pays triple your initial bet (3:1).
Rolling a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 pays even money (1:1). The bet loses if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled.
Big 6 & big 8 bets
Place your chips in the box marked big 6 or big 8.
If the number you picked is rolled before a 7 is rolled you win even money.
The bet loses if a 7 is rolled.
If any other number is rolled, the bet neither wins nor loses and it stays on the table ready for the next roll.
You may remove the bet at any time.
Place to win bets
Place to win bets can be made on a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10.
Place your chips by clicking on the place to win section of a number.
You are allowed to make place bets at any time, except place to win bets are 'not working' by default when the game is off.
You win if your number is rolled before a 7, and lose if a 7 is rolled before your number.
If neither your number nor a 7 is rolled, the bet stays unresolved on the table but is able to be removed at any time.
This is the same for place to lose, buy and lay bets.
Place to lose bets
Place to lose bets are just like place to win bets, except you win if a 7 is rolled before the number you bet on, and lose if not.
Place your chips by clicking on a place to lose section of a number box.
A buy bet is very similar to a place to win bet. Make a buy bet by clicking on the buy section of a number.
The bet wins if that number is rolled before a 7, and loses if a 7 is rolled before that number.
Buy bets are not-working by default when the game is off.
When winning a buy bet, 5% of the buy bet amount is paid as commission, but your winnings are paid at true odds: 6:5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3:2 on numbers 5 and 9, and 2:1 on numbers 4 and 10.
A lay bet is the opposite of a buy bet.
Make a lay bet by clicking on the lay section of a number.
The bet wins if a 7 is rolled before that number, and loses if that number is rolled before a 7.
When winning a lay bet, a commission of 5% of the win amount is charged.
Lay bet winnings are paid at true odds: 5:6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2:3 on numbers 5 and 9, and 1:2 on numbers 4 and 10.
Place your chips by clicking on the ANY SEVEN section of the board.
This bet pays 5 for 1 if a 7 is rolled, and loses on all other rolls.
Any craps bets
Place your chips by clicking on the ANY CRAPS section of the board.
This bet pays 8 for 1 if any craps (2, 3 or 12) is rolled, and loses on all other rolls.
Make a horn bet by clicking on the horn bet button located at the bottom of the table.
This will automatically place your allocated chip amount on each of the four bet options.
The bet wins if a 2, 3, 11 or 12 is rolled and loses on all other rolls.
If you don't want to bet on all four options, you can click on the individual bet areas to place chips as you please. 2 and 12 pay 34 for 1, 3 and 11 pay 17 for 1.
Hard way bets
Rolling a number 'the hard way' means rolling doubles.
E.G. To roll a 6 'the hard way', the dice must show 3-3.
When the dice show 1-5 or 2-4, that is rolling an 'easy way 6'.
Hard ways bets can be made on a 4, 6, 8 or 10.
To win a hard ways bet, the hard ways of that number must be rolled before a 7 and before the easy way of that number are rolled.
E.G. To win a hard ways 6 bet, a 3-3 must be rolled before a 7 and before a easy way 6 (1-5 & 2-4) are rolled.
If another number is rolled, the bet stays unresolved on the table but is able to be removed.
The hard ways button located at the bottom of the table will automatically place your allocated chip amount on each of the four hard ways bet options; or you can click on an individual hard ways bet option to make a single bet.
Hard ways 4 & 10 pay 8 for 1. Hard ways 6 & 8 pay 10 for 1.
Working / not working
Some bets in craps can be chosen to be working or not working.
Working means that the bet is always active.
Not working means that the bet is active only when the game is on; when the game is off, not working bets are inactive - they neither win nor lose.
Our default settings have odds bets, place-to-win/buy bets and hard ways bets as not working; and place-to-lose/lay bets as working.
You can change these settings in the bet options section.
Note that the return to player is the same whether bets are working or not working.
Roll history
The roll history bar is located on the left hand side of the table and tells you the numbers of the previous 12 rolls.
It also tells you whether the game is on or off.
The stats button located on the left hand side of the table tells you the frequency of the previous 100 numbers you have rolled versus the statistical expectation of rolling those numbers.
Max odds/remove/instant/roll buttons
These buttons are located at the bottom of the table.
The roll button rolls the dice.
The instant button rolls the dice instantly and allows for a faster game.
The remove button allows you to remove any chips that are able to be removed.
Chip stakes
Craps has 10p, 50p, £1, £5, £10 and £50 chip amounts.
The max limit per spot is £50 and the minimum is 50p.
The appeal of craps
You have plenty of betting options and a varied range of odds.
The ability to go on a hot streak and accumulate massive winnings separates craps from other games on site.

How to play money wheel and win
You’ve probably seen the money wheel (sometimes called the cash wheel, or big six wheel as the wheel has 6 different possible combinations) in your local casino. It’s normally a big wooden or plastic wheel with lots of different coloured sections on it that gets hand spun by a money wheel (bix six wheel) casino dealer, and makes a clack-clack noise as it’s spun. You bet on combinations available on the money wheel and you get paid at various odds if the wheel marker ends up on those combinations. I’ve always thought of the casino money wheel as bit of a sideshow game. You’ll see derivatives of the wheel at local fairs, easter shows, A&P shows, or at circus events.
This big six / money wheel can be a fun game to play – but the secret to winning here is to bet SMALL, and never more than one or two number combinations at a time. This game is all about luck – there’s no strategy that you can apply to the money wheel to win consistently in the long term.
Money wheel (big six) is a simple game to play, and you can get up to a 40-1 payout (that’s higher than roulette, but the house edge is higher on the money wheel). Simply guess which symbol group on the large cash wheel the gauge / marker will point to when the wheel stops following a dealer spin. Money wheel (also called cash wheel, or in some countries big six wheel) is normally played on a vertical rotary big wheel with a fixed gauge/pointer on the edge. The wheel has 54 (USA) or 52 (australia) slots/sections signifying various repeating groups of the six principal betting symbols. The odds paid out however are not the true odds – thus our advice to bet small here.
To bet, put your cash on the table and let the dealer exchange your money for casino gaming chips. Place your chips on the part of the money wheel betting layout that represents the bet you which to make. You may bet on one or more symbols each time. When all wagers are placed, the dealer spins the wheel with a solid pull and push down activity and catches one side of the wheel. The big six wheel slowly grinds to a stop and shows the winning number / symbol.
The symbols, odds, returns and house edge are shown for each possible money wheel bet below.
Big six money wheel (cash wheel) odds slots and payoffs
24 slots at even money, indicated $1, pays 1 to 1 – house edge is 11.11%
15 slots at 2:1, indicated $2, pays 2 to 1 – house edge is 16.67%
7 slots at 5:1, indicated $5, pays 5 to 1 – house edge is 22.22%
4 slots at 10:1, indicated $10, pays 10 to 1 – house edge is 18.52%
2 slots at 20:1, indicated $20, pays 20 to 1 – house edge is 22.22%
1 slot at 40:1, indicated joker or logo, pays 40 to 1 – house edge is 24.07% (or 14.81% if 45:1 is paid)
Play the big six money wheel for small stakes, and never for a long period. Our how to beat the casinos mantra of “get in (to the game), get up (in your bankroll / capital), get out (leave the game)” should be closely followed here. You can easily win on the money wheel in the short term, but the very high house edge on this game will mean you simply can’t win in the long term.

Big six wheel
It is a table game played by people of different cultures, ages, and origins. The game is also known as the game of fortune, the lucky wheel, money wheel among others. It originated from the ancient greeks. They used their shields by marking points on it and spun it. If lucky and stopped in your selected section, then you won the game. Also, it was used to settle disputes amongst the soldiers in ancient times.
Today, the game pretty much observes the same rules as in the past. Even though it is popular amongst players, the game is primarily a game of chance and therefore has no specific big six wheel strategy that one can follow except staying away from it. Players are advised against playing the game as the winning odds are high for the house. To learn more here is:

Rules of the game
The game comes in the form of a wheel. The wheel is subdivided into 54 sections. Fifty-two of these sections have numbers and other symbols on them. The different 2 parts; one has the house logo while the other has a joker on it. The sections also have monetary denominations attached to them.
To win, you are required to place a bet on whichever of these sections/ denomination that you expect the wheel to stop. Once the wager has been placed, then the dealer spins the wheel. If lucky, the wheel stops at your selected section, and you win. If not, then you lose the entire bet to the house.

Big 6 money wheel, also known as the big six or wheel of fortune, is a game of chance, played using a large vertical wheel that can be spun.
The big 6 wheel owes much of its heritage to the traditional carnival prize wheel.
Prize wheels debuted at american carnivals in the late 1800s, and they became so popular that giant wheels offering fantastic prizes became major attractions at amusement areas such as the coney island fair and the boardwalk in atlantic city.
Casinos, seeing the popularity of this relatively simple game, quickly adapted a version of the prize wheel into what is known today as the big 6 money wheel. The big 6 money wheel is one of the easiest games to learn and is a very popular choice among first-time casino visitors.
Playing is simple: step right up, place your bet, spin the wheel, and keep your fingers crossed!
Big 6 money wheel rules
The wheel consists of 54 equal sections, with a metal or wooden spoke, pin or peg separating each one.
A rubber or leather flapper sits on top at the 12 o'clock position and is stationary. Each section of the wheel is marked with a symbol.
Players place their bets directly on the table on top of the symbol that corresponds to the numbers on the wheel as the wheel is spinning.
You can continue to wager until the dealer announces "no more bets." winning bets are determined by whichever number or symbol section the flapper stops in.
The dealer then takes off all losing bets and pays all winning ones and the game begins anew.
The amount of the payoff for this game varies depending on the currency or symbol the flapper stops at.
Players may make as many bets as they want per spin. Just remember that only one of the symbols is going to hit.
The big six and big eight
If you have some experience in playing craps, you must have noticed the big six and big eight, that are to be found at both ends of the table.
Experienced players have learned to be cautious when it comes to these bets as if you do not use them properly, you expose your bankroll to a significant risk. Yet, the bet seems attractive at a first glance because apart from 7, the other two numbers that are frequently rolled, are 6 and 8.
Top rated online casinos for the united kingdom
Basically, the player bets that either 6 or 8 will be rolled before 7 is rolled. Similarly to the pass line bet, the player is required to place the desired amount of chips into the designated area on the table and keep their fingers crossed that their numbers will be rolled.
The big 6 is a wager that 6 will be rolled before 7. The dice are rolled as many times as necessary until the player wins or loses. If 7 comes out before 6, you lose. The big 8 wagers are processed in the same manner. Players bet that 8 will be rolled before 7. In case any other number is rolled, the dice are rolled again. If 8 is actually rolled before 7, you win, but if the opposite scenario occurs, you lose your wager.
However, it is important to know that there is a significant difference in payouts between the place bet and the big six and eight. The payout for a place bet on the 6 and 8 is 7:6, while the payout for the big 6 and 8 is 1:1.
In other words a payout 1:1 means that you lose 6 bets for every 5 bets you win. The same applies to the place bets but the 7:6 payout makes it possible to keep more of your chips as you lose one of them for every 66 chips you wagered. If you wager on the big six and eight, you lose one chip per every 11 wagered.
If you place bets on 6 and 8, the house edge reaches the modest 1.5%, but it jumps to the solid 9% when you bet on the big six and eight. Despite being located in different areas on the layout, the two bets are practically the same.
Players who do not have enough experience in playing craps seem to be lured by the big 6 and 8 bets because of the relatively high probability of rolling these numbers. However, it seems impractical to opt for the big six and eight bet and give the house a 9% advantage instead of making the same bet as a place bet and enhance your chances of turning a profit. The dealer controls the place bet and places it in the designated area, which basically eliminates any arguments related to the players who get paid. In most cases, players are not well-informed about the difference between these bets.
Many players wonder as to whether these bets are effective on the come out roll? Well, there is not a definite answer to that question. The big six and eight are always working, but that statement is not always applicable to the place 6 and 8. It depends on the casino you have chosen as some casinos do not offer such a bet. For example, atlantic city based casinos do not offer the big six and eight bet and offer only place bets.
