There is No Big Bass Wheel Arcade Hack

Read on for the truth on Big Bass Wheel and all its supposed “hacks.”
Big Bass Wheel Jackpot
1000 tickets is the jackpot amount. You win if the wheel lands on the thin shiny green line.
Here are different available patterns for the other ticket values on the wheel from the Big Bass Wheel manual.
Most arcades will stick with the default layout, #5 in the image. This layout says it pays 32-35 tickets per game. With 100 tickets being the second highest value you can win.
Big Bass Wheel Arcade Game Information and Payout
It seems as though Big Bass Wheel is a totally random game. The wheel spins and whatever ticket amount it happens to land on you get. Or it makes you think that you are in control of the wheel with how hard you pull the lever.
It is actually rigged against the player.
Big Bass Wheel has a similar rigged payout system as arcade claw machines. The machine is programmed to only payout jackpots and big ticket amounts after a certain amount of plays. This is to insure the arcade is ultimately winning so that it does not lose money. Just like at the casino: the house always wins.
This works through brakes that the machine uses to slow the wheel down to prevent it from landing on big ticket values.
Here is how the machine knows where to stop to adjust the payout – on page 57 of the Big Bass Wheel manual.
“THE ENCODER SENSOR TELLS WHERE THE WHEEL IS AND DETERMINES THE PAYOUT OF THE WHEEL. THE SENSOR “SEES” THE THIN SLOTS ON THE ENCODER WHEEL AS BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE LARGE SCORE PANELS. IT ALSO “SEES” THE LARGE SLOTS AS HIGH SCORE VALUES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCORE PANEL. AS THE WHEEL SPINS, THE GREEN LED COMES ON AS THE NEXT SCORE PANEL STARTS.”
The Best Tip to Win Big Bass Wheel
When playing Big Bass Wheel, there is not a lot you can do differently to have a higher chance of winning.
The best tip is to try to take advantage of the rigged payout system mentioned above.
The longer the machine goes without a winner, the more likely a jackpot will be won sooner.
You can use this knowledge by watching other people play Big Bass Wheel. If they play for a while and do not win a jackpot then it is reasonable to think that the payout for the jackpot will be coming soon. So you should play that machine to win the jackpot.
You can also decide when not to play a machine by watching others play. For example, if someone just won the jackpot on Big Bass Wheel you should not play that machine or decide to play a different Big Bass Wheel cabinet if they have multiples at that arcade.
I hope this small strategy guide will help you win the jackpot!
