Guide to Big Six Wheel

Goal

Knowing the facts without spin is always a good strategy.

The Big Six Wheel is a large vertical wheel, sometimes referred to as the Big Wheel, Big Six, Money Wheel or the Wheel of Fortune. The goal of the game is to bet on the number or symbol that the wheel will stop on.

Rules

It’s more fun if you know what you’re doing.

Place a bet on any number(s) or symbol(s) on the wheel.

The dealer will spin the wheel three full rotations before the clapper settles on the winning number or symbol.

ETIQUETTE

Never place a bet after the wheel has started spinning
