Has anyone ever hit the three stars on the daily booster wheel?

    There is no way to influence that.

    I am not sure about that @christinewupp it sometimes seems to me that if you select stop at just the right time you can get good results. This week I have managed to get three lollipops, and I was trying to get them. You have to experiment and watch where the wheel stops with relation to when you press stop.

    It isn't consistent but you just have to watch. Sometimes I can get a lollipop by pressing stop just as the lollipop is at the top other times I get it by stopping the wheel two boosters after the lollipop.

    I have hit the Wheel jackpot many times @bkuzma1969 On average I receive the jackpot every four to five weeks.

    What you are suggesting seems to go against anything that King do but I have never spent any time even wondering if it might be something we can control, so you might be right and I might be wrong. I just assumed it was predetermined by an algorithm because everything else in the game is! It will be hard for me to test as I do not know any way to spin more than once in a day.

    Yes, you get all rewards altogether. You can see from my avatar. I got it more frequent than the Daily Treat machine. I never ever win a jackpot from that machine thing.

    Level 3

    I do suspect that it actually is timeable, to some degree. During the first few months I played, I would always try to time the stopping, and I got the 3 stars quite a few times back then. After those first few months, I started just randomly clicking on Stop, and I have gotten the 3 stars much less often. Recently I realized this, and so I've started trying to time it again, but I haven't yet had success since starting to time it again; I'm hoping it will really help, but admittedly I don't know for sure.

    I have done statistical analysis on the prizes for the Sweet Cinema (back when it was 9 tries, not the 16 that it is now), and I decided the statistics were quite clear that was totally random. So now I always pick the choices in the same order every time, to speed up the process by not having to decide. :-) Indeed, I have always suspected with Sweet Cinema that perhaps it doesn't even set up the board in advance - it probably doesn't even calculate what is where, but rather just serves up one at random from what is remaining when you click on one. So I agree with Christine that almost everything like this in Candy Crush is random. But it seems like maybe the booster wheel is an exception - maybe.

    Interesting to hear all this. I always assumed that in Sweet Cinema whichever one you tap on, it would be the same outcome. Whether that is random though I cannot tell. It probably does not matter as most players would continue until all prizes have been won and to King the order would not matter. On the subject of randomness, when the lucky egg was first introduced I got a a test version where there was a choice to pick one out of four or five eggs, to reveal an inner prize of a choice of different colours, each of which would give a different prize. In fact I must have had a faulty test version, because whichever egg I chose it always without fail was the same colour and prize, and I must have tapped on at least 10 or 15 eggs while I had that event. That is one reason I don't trust that anything like this is not predetermined.

    I believe the probabilities for hitting each of the booster are predefined in the algorithm. They must have increased the probability for the jackpot say from 1% to 10% in recent years. That's why I have never hit the jackpot in the earlier years.

    @Alienscar I think there maybe a pattern as well. I find that if I let it run for a certain length of time that I can usually hit the jackpot. I just about got the time down but I get inpatient sometime and stop it.I think most of Candy Crush has an algorithm it's just finding it. Same thing with the episodes if you notice a lot are repeating pretty regularly after a while you can predict how it's going to play out if you are paying attention. I know it's kinda weird but I keep a notebook. Lol I'm sure it's not that deep for most people they probably just play as is. Me I have lots of time ☺️
