Starburst Wheel
Twenty slices, one chrome pointer and no small print: each turn costs 25 coins and the number the pointer stops on is exactly what comes back. Played for virtual coins only.

Every turn costs 25 coins.
Press Turn to spin. Whatever number stops under the pointer is the number of coins that comes back.
How to play
- Press Turn. It costs 25 coins every time.
- The wheel picks one of its twenty slices, each exactly as likely as the others, and spins until that slice sits under the pointer.
- The number on that slice is the number of coins you get back. A 0 means nothing comes back; a 25 means you are level; anything above 25 is ahead for that turn.

The twenty slices add up to 470 coins. Since each slice is equally likely, the average turn gives back 470 ÷ 20 = 23.5 coins for every 25 spent.
That is an exact average return of 94%, below 100%, as it is for every game of chance with a house. No simulation needed: the slices are the whole story.
18+ Coins here are virtual. They have no cash value, cannot be bought or withdrawn, and nothing you collect can be swapped for money or prizes.
