Wheel Poker Question

#1

Wheel Poker is a VP game that requires 6 coins per hand. The extra
coin buys you a spin of the colorful wheel at the top if you are
dealt or draw a four-of-a-kind.

We all know that the spin of the wheel isn't random at all. The
player doesn't control when it stops. My question instead concerns
the total payout on a dealt four-of-a-kind.

Assume you are playing 5 Play 9/6 DDB and are dealt four 7's. You
hold the sevens (or all five cards if you are overly cautious) and
then proceed to spin and collect (and fill out a W-2 if playing at
the $1 level or higher).

Is the machine going to spin the wheel once and add that value to the
1250 units? Or (this is my guess) does it add the value of the spin
to each of the 250 units won per hand? Or does the wheel spin 5 times
for each of the four-of-a-kinds and add those separate values?

I'm not sure of the answer, but I can be sure of one thing-you won't
get the top prize of 2000 on the spin on this hand! But please feel
free to prove me wrong and send a picture if you did.

Thanks.

Wheel Poker gives the player one spin for each quad. In your scenario, the
wheel spins five times with five separate results and these are added to
your base 250 coins X 5 for your total payout. If you are playing dollars,
this is a W2G generator in the worst way. Perhaps they should call it "W2G
Poker." It is possible to get the 1000 or 2000-coin spin even when you have
a dealt quad. I know that I have had a 1000 coin bonus among the five and
perhaps the 2000 coin bonus, although I don't remember with any certainty.
It's a fun game if you have lots of money.

The wheell will spin 5 times and you are paid the 250 + what each of the
values of the spin are

this is from my vpfree published trip report of 6/26....enjoy..all 100% facts:

Main Street station - 25C 9/6 DDB
start $100 - one spin 300 coins - cash out $200

Gold Coast - 25C 9/6 triple double bonus
start $200 - one spin for 250 coins, one spin for 2000 coins - cash out $450

Orleans - 25C 15/9/4/4/ Ugly Ducks
start $400 - two 400 coin spins, one 1000 coin spin, one Royal flush - cash out $1200
PS - I changed the strategy here by holding 1 pair versus 2 , as to increase my chances of a nat quad , or 5 kind with one duck
