How to play Betgames Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune is played on a giant prize wheel operated by a presenter. When a game round begins, the dealer will spin the wheel in a clockwise direction.
Whatever the clapper lands on is the winning result. Displayed on the wheel are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, while there is a 19th section which contains a symbol.
The symbol represents a jackpot, which pays out odds of 17.5 should you select it. Players bet before the wheel is spun. To win, you need your number, colour or odd/even bet to come in when the wheel clapper stops.

Betgames Wheel of Fortune Tips
Here are some of our best tips to get better payouts in Wheel of Fortune.
Betting on single numbers may look attractive due to the odds - but they only have a 5.26% chance of success
If you want to bet on a single number, then choose the jackpot segment for the enhanced payout potential
The last five numbers are displayed in the game client - but this information is unhelpful for betting
You can approach the game with a roulette like red/black strategy if you bet on the even or odd results
For a 1 in 3 chance of winning with marginally better payouts, you can also choose to bet on the colours
Betgames Wheel of Fortune Strategy
Due to the number of segments on the wheel and the jackpot area, you can approach this game as if you were playing roulette. One of the best strategies is to focus on the odd/even results - which almost give you a 50/50 chance of winning.
As with a European roulette wheel, the jackpot segment gives the house a way to disrupt 50/50 strategies. But this one of the lowest risk ways to play the Wheel of Fortune.
An alternative strategy is to focus on the colours which offer a 1 in 3 chance of winning. With these segments, you do have the opportunity of winning more - but there's also an increased chance of losing.
For the marginal increase in payouts and the enhanced risk, we don't recommend focusing on colours.
