Big Six wheel

The wheel is divided into a number of equal segments separated by spokes or pins.

The joker and the logo pay at odds of 40 to 1 or 45 to 1, depending on local gaming regulations or the practice of the casino.

For a specific number: At odds of 1 to 1, 2 to 1, and 3 to 1, respectively, for each of these types of outcome, the expected loss as a percentage of the stake wagered is: The symbolism of the game is redolent of chuck-a-luck or sic bo, games of chance played with three dice.

This variety is seldom seen in casinos, but frequently seen as a carnival game, or at a charity "Monte Carlo night" fund-raiser.

A similar game, the "Big Nine" wheel, has five numbers on each segment, and also three special symbols, appearing on three spaces each, which pay 10:1 odds.

A legal game in a licensed casino in the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand involves a wheel at least 1.5 metres in diameter divided into 52 segments, each marked with one of seven symbols (referred to as A to G).

The table below sets out the frequency of the symbols, their probability, the associated odds specified, and the house advantage or edge.
