This game would be so much more fun if it weren't for the fact that the wheel is drawn to the bankrupt wedge like some long lost lover. After getting continually frustrated with constantly going bankrupt, my friend and I started a new game and counted it out.12 times we landed on Bankrupt between the two of us in one full game. A letter on your board appears in the puzzle. A contestant lands on a wedge that is on your board and guesses correctly (e.g., calls a letter in the puzzle) A contestant lands on Bankrupt or Lose a Turn. Pat spins or Vanna claps: lucky you! Mark five in a row across, down or diagonally to win.

How does Wheel of Fortune get away with being so rigged?Posted by weagle99 on 1/22/14 at 7:18 pm

Never fails: A contestant obviously knows the answer to the puzzle but keeps spinning the wheel to amass more $$$. The wheel then 'randomly' hits Bankrupt or Lose a Turn before said contestant can solve the puzzle and get paid.
I rarely watch this show but every time I happen to see it this same scenario happens. You can't convince me Pat or someone doesn't have a wheel control device.

I have been saying this for years about Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right.
You never see the other side of the wheel.

I was always pissed that there wasn't a 'Sex with Vanna White' spot on the wheel.

Legends of the Hidden Temple was the worst. They fricking asked the kids which route they would take before they went.

That wheel obviously has a brake on it that they use from time to time.

I just wonder how many times Pat's rigged Vanna over the years.

It has been a long time since I watched the show, but I remember that at one point, during the show opening, the wheel was spinning by itself, which made me think it had to have a motor underneath it.

The kids that lost the maze mostly were dumb though. They clearly didn't pay attention to shite before they went into it.

Only 32 of the 120 won on that show. Plus the maze took multiple takes due to faulty doors and production mistakes
