Wheel of fortune

[Jerinder]

1 of 4 chance.

Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!

Are we sure that it's really a 1 in 4 chance?

[HunterN]

yes. 1/4 is unlikely.

[shadowlord]

I wondered if there was a bug for a while and it was not really 1/4. However I have been hitting it more than 1/4 recently and now suspect it is just normal variance evening out.

It's 1 in 4, it just feels bad when it misses.

[Jerinder]

I've got the 1 in 15 on a lucky card 10x more than the wheel of fortune

It doesn't feel like there is an equal chance of foil, holographic or polychrome, which might be how it is supposed to be. I get foil or holographic more often than polychrome, anyone have any info on this?

[Jerinder]

Yes I also see a ton of more foil & holographic.

My guess is that giving polychrome too often would be a little overpowered, so the chances are not equal between the three?

[Jerinder]

Well does it state anywhere that they should be equal?

No, but it doesn't say not either. We can only guess based on what we're getting and how unbalanced too much polychrome would be.

what .... you're not enjoying all the RNG?
just git gud

It's far less than 1/4.

I hate X-Com but I can hit 25% hits in that trash more often than Wheel procs.

[Jerinder]

It's not that I'm not enjoying anything. This game is very fun, but I've used WOF card like 65 times and have gotten it 2 times. The odds just don't seem to add up, but I might be crazy.

X-com rigs it for the player though? It always lies so that its rather like 35%, at least for 95% and up it rounds to 100% or something.

[eddymitchel]

you've 2% chance to get "nope" 14 times in a row, you're just unlucky

One thing that people should understand about the RNG in this game: It's seeded.

Each seed is already pre-determined which number Wheel of Fortune(s) will succeed, like maybe it's the 2nd, 7th, 8th, 15th, etc, along with which joker will get the buff. There are ways to savescum and check if your next wheel will succeed or not, but if the 1st wheel fails it will fail no matter how many times you retry it. I've tested this a lot.
