Do you think FOX's Spin The Wheel is somehow rigged? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just saw Spin The Wheel a few minutes ago and the more episodes i've seen of it I seem to think that Spin The Wheel is rigged. Because it seems that each contestant that plays Spin The Wheel wins less money and the wheel seems to land on Back To Zero wedges than money wedges and when I have seen Spin The Wheel I think FOX should update the contestant rules for next season to make it easier to win money and make it harder to get Back To Zero wedges

Hi, Bestie! I am getting suspicious! The wheel seems to go to the same place all of the time. The last guy kept going to 1,000 and even 1 dollar! I don't know. But I will keep watching.

FOX's Spin The Wheel might be rigged but the show should need plenty of improvement.

Another thing I've noticed about Spin The Wheel is that whenever some contestants win they sometimes land on the $1 wedge and this may play a factor in the game somehow being rigged. And if they were to get rid of the $1 wedge and replace it with a $60,000 wedge then it would give players more chances to win. And if they were to have offers called Dax's Deals instead of having the Walkaway offers for the loved ones it would help the contestants win more cash. I also think that they should limit the Back To Zero wedges to one on the wheel because this I think causes the game to be flawed and rigged. I think if Spin The Wheel keeps this up FOX will launch an investigation into the game or Spin The Wheel will be cancelled for good. I can only imagine that it will be like what happened with the game shows Twenty-One and Dotto back in the day

Since the quiz show scandals of the late 50s, it has always been against the law to rig a game show so I don't think Spin the Wheel is rigged. I'm sure Standards & Practices is present watching over the show to be sure the show is honest.

I would hope that Standards and Practices are present but do we really know. If the show is rigged, the show should be off the air.

It says in the fine print that the spins are computer generated by way of random number generator, much like a Las Vegas slot machine. How the contestant spins the wheel has no bearing on the outcome.

You do know that no computer generated numbers are truly "random" they are all based on algorithms. Just so complicated that humans cannot follow them. So, in a way, yes it is rigged
