The new Reel of fortune

[Viper401]

What do you think about this new wheel?
In my opinion, I am not sure if I will get the 6 baitcoins/month. It is really not nice for beginners and for those who do not want to always pay. Free bait is over. ;_;
Finally, I think that this wheel is still designed to encourage players to buy baitcoins. I tried for 4 or 5 days, but I never got the 2 baitcoins, which is very frustrating. I think I will stop the game.
Also, I clicked by mistake on the gold wheel and spent 5 baitcoins by accident. It would be nice to put a warning to confirm if we want to use real money.

I have no issues with BC, since the release I got 6 free BC, but I can't say the same about premium, still at zero for that one.

Excellent, lucky guy, so its possible.

To be fair I think these conspiracies are a bit far fetched, so I'll tell you what I think.

I think the wheel is programmed to give you a higher chance of just a cash prize and a much lower chance of premium or baitcoins but I doubt that they have implemented an overly complicated algorithm to stop people winning coins or premium.

My wife has won baitcoins and 3 days of premium so far...I've had 3 baitcoins once and just cash.
It's no problem though....it is what it is....

If you win Premium off the wheel it activates immediately.

I like it , I already got baitcoins and 3 days premium. It was mainly added because it was a regular request that it must be added to pc version by the community on the official FB group. Players complained that mobile have it but pc and console doesn't. So they simply added what was requested by the community.

10 days of free prem and money

LOL ok lets just call this what it is. Forget the ridiculous conspiracy theories and everything else, this is simply a business move by the Devs to make more money. Remember, this isn't just a game, it's a business product to make money. Before, we had a guaranteed amount of money and bait coins we'd earn per month, period. Now, with this ridiculous change we have a chance to get higher or smaller amounts of cash per day, and a much lower chance of getting bait coins per day. It may seem like you've got more chances of getting cool stuff but in reality your chances are much lower then as before when it was guaranteed. The premium days are just thrown in there as shinny trinkets to distract you from this fact. They don't need to fix the outcome of the spins to achieve this benefit for themselves, the lowered chance of getting these items does it for them.

Sure one month people will be throwing out comments saying they did great winning coins, premium days or cash this month, but I guarantee the next month it will be a different story. Lowering our chances of getting the coins means we have less coins over all. On top of that the golden reel of fortune forces you to use even more coins, so you have even less coins over all if you play that. When you have less coins what do you consider doing more? Yup spending real money to buy more coins. This gives the Devs more overall sales per month. "Oh but what about the premium tokens they give?" So what? What do they lose simply adding a few more benefits to an account for a few days? The growing sales of bait coins easily over shadows the loss of any premium purchases because someone got lucky on the wheel. Not to mention this might persuade people to buy more premium days themselves to gain the added benefits they enjoyed. This is a business move by the Devs to make more money, period.

Fact is I've been logging in every day and spinning for the past month, and while others have been getting good results I've got a total of 1 day of premium and zero bait coins.

Someone said earlier that mobile players requested it, as it's in the mobile game. From the devs view it probably adds some spice to the game that a predictable 300-450-750-1500-1BC mechanic does not. The whole point of mechanics like these, as well as events is to attract people to the game, whether new or returning. Once you have them hooked then they may buy premium or a pack. Even if they don't it's an active player count. "Ded game" is the last thing a dev wants to hear from the potential player base.

[Ozzys_Dad]

I got 3 days of premium 2 days in a row.

[Sup_DiM0N]

I got 7 days worth of premium at some point and 9 BC total from the time of it's introduction, but it seems it's been adjusted since. Two weeks in the row I'm getting game credits only.

[76561198424369414]

I haven't played the game after the update because I have a spine so I have no idea about this wheel.

They can wave bye bye to being allowed in my country and Belgium because it sure sounds like gambling if you need BC and the only way to get them is buying them or gambling for them.
If E.A. games are banned here, this pos will certainly be. lol

Since I've returned when the new map came out I've managed to acquire 12-15 days of premium time... You get 1 free spin a day and can purchase 3 more using bait coins, why are people so sad? Don't use baitcoins, people complain about everything.
