never have won it. It is rigged ?  On level past 3000. What don’t the developers give a little back.  I stopped playing and paying since it’s all about the money

    The jackpot in this game works the same as the jackpot in any other such game or slot machine.  I don’t know why people routinely complain about this; common sense dictates that that particular wedge of the wheel isn’t going to be landed upon nearly as much as the others.  Speaking of which, you’ll notice you never land on the check mark booster either.

    Ive landed on it twice in about what, 5 years since it’s inception?  I’ve only landed on the check mark 4 times.  Just be happy you’re getting a free booster daily.

    @Dirty_Nurse -- go pound salt... I agree with ladyevilx88... I've been playing this game since it came out, I'm over level 3800 and spin that thing almost every day.. I haven't hit it ONCE.... it's ridiculous and at this point, I can't even believe the payoff is worth it

    I've played for about 6 years and hit it twice, while spinning daily, with occasional free spins for watching an ad. It frequently stops abruptly before it would hit it, or it accelerates suddenly past it, both narrowly missing the jackpot and not normal behavior if the wheel were fair/random. I understand not wanting it to mathematically be equal for all sections, but actively refusing to land on it when you would with a fair physical wheel feels loaded or rigged to us.

    Again, standard procedure for this type of feature.  King didn’t invent this type of thing they just adapted it to suit CCS.  At a casino most, if not all, of the machines that feature a jackpot wheel like this have something like “size of each piece does not reflect actual odds of landing on it” or something similar, presumably to protect themselves from frivolous lawsuits by gamblers that have no common sense.  If the wheel spin on this game cost money I’m sure this info would be available but since no money is involved they don’t need to.

    I apologize for the apparent double-post - my comments need to be “approved” now for some reason.  If you don’t believe me look up rules on slot machines for example wheel of fortune ones which are very popular and you’ll see what I’m talking about

    Hi guys, welcome all newbies!  The Jackpot is comparable to winning the lottery.  It really comes down to luck and chance as to where it will stop.  Although you might be discouraged because the spinning wheel never landed on it, please keep in mind that you can always win a free booster when playing the Spinning Wheel daily and it’s free! 

    I know that a lot of players aren't too happy about this so I created an idea asking them to take off the Jackpot and add a party popper in its place.  Please vote for this because the more that vote, the better the chance of getting it.  Here is the link and while you are there, check out the other ideas too.

    I would like to take a moment to offer you a message for all newbies to learn more about our community which you can find here.  We always run contests so be sure to do them for a chance to win gold bars.

    Why do you other players think that something called “jackpot” should be landed upon frequently?  I kind of feel sorry for King in this instance, they must have to deal with less-than-intelligent players’ complaints about such commonly-sensical things multiple times daily, hourly, or worse.

    The daily spin is a chance at a free booster.  Be happy that you get something daily at no cost.

    @SpeedStickMusk, I don't appreciate your attitude towards @Dirty_Nurse. If you disagree, you can just say so. Besides, it is in the house rules to keep things on the friendly level. Happy Crushing, everyone!
