Dear Mark, What is the house edge for that wheel
like game called the Big 6? Also, is the joker bet the sucker bet on the layout?
Karen H.
Also known as the 'Wheel of Fortune, this game
is played on a carnival like vertical wheel. There are inlaid dollar bills of
various denominations on the layout where the player wagers on which denomination
the pointer will stop at. All six wagers on the Big 6 carry a steep house
edge, especially on the casino logo/joker bet. That casino advantage is as follows:
11.1 percent on the $1 spot, 16.6% on the $2, 22.2% on the $5,
18.5% on the $10, 22.2% on the $20, and 24% on
either the joker or casino logo.
Though I do not recommend the following wager, in
some casinos the joker or logo pays 45 to 1 opposed
to 40 to one. This lowers the casino
advantage on those two bets to 14.81%.
