The wheel DID seem to slow down faster than normal though.. When he first spun it I thought it was going to easily go around 2x... instead it barely went around twice. The speed of the slowdown should be constant, but as it neared the end the deceleration pace increased.
The wheel's got a microcontroller on it. There's a brake one it, and they can stop it at any number. If you see the notices they put up at the end, it states that outcomes of the show may be predetermined. They probably drew lots or flipped a coin in this case, and decided he would win. Then they dramatized it with the wheel spin.
What the hell is this tosser wearing a military uniform to a game show? Am I missing something.... was it some special they were doing or did this tosser dress up like this out of some sort of misplaced pride.
This might be the stiffest of any wheel clip on Youtube. Time a few and you'll see that on average the final revolution happens in anywhere from 7½-8 seconds. This time it was just 6.3 seconds!
I love it when one of our brave U.S. military men or women have something good like this happen to them. They put their lives on the line for our freedoms ~~ and I'm happy to see them be rewarded in one way, or another.
@NathanJames21Nice comment, but he's in the air force.. The chAir Force gets all the money and the nicest accomodations while spending their days FAR from any enemy activity ('cept for the pilots) AS WELL AS having the wimpiest PT requirements... If you can't get a senator to get you out of military duty (like Clinton), the next best option is to join the Air Force..
No. If a contestant gets $1.00 in one spin or a combination of two spins, he or she wins $1,000. If a contestant gets a green section (5 or 10) in the bonus spin, it's $5,000 more (total of $6,000), but if a contestant gets the $1.00 space in their bonus spin, it's $10,000 for a total of $11,000. Hope this helps. ;)
The Air Force really fucked me over. Thats why I hate them. I'm in the Navy now and I respect anyone who volunteers who serves their country I just have a grudge with the Air Force.
Ya but it is very suspicious looking. The rate that the wheel slows down should be a constant pace. But instead the speed that it slows down is increasing as it nears the end. That just doesn't seem to jive with the law of physics.
There is no way, after the infamous "quiz show" incident of the 1950's, that CBS would rig the show. There is too much at stake now legally and financially to do something like that.
They don't rig the wheel! The wheel did not even look like it suddenly stopped, jeez! to the person who said they heard the beep on the wheel but it didnt go to the next one, the beep happens when the pointer hits a peg.
If totally random, the wheel should stop on 100 5% of the time. I will bet that in $10,000 spins that the rate is much higher than 5% and in $1,000,000 spins that rate is much lower than 5%.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In case you didn't know, the million dollar spin was rigged. They were not going to allow the contestant to win $1,000,000. It is there to get people excited and for more people to watch the show.
I wonder if the 6 people that gave you negative feedback on your message saw the million dollar spin. I saw it.. and that wheel sure stopped abruptly! Also, the pointer is not supposed to be a source of friction, it is supposed to be a non-influencing pointer to delineate the section of the wheel. With that in mind, that million dollar prize should have been won. In fact, the pointer was on the million winning section.. it was just the bend that kept the tip from falling over the pin.
That wheel DID slow down quite a bit to stay on that dollar to win $10,000
There was another incident that is posted on YouTube with a million dollar spin in which the wheel mysteriously stopped even after the passing beep went off to avoid paying out the million dollar prize. It would be hilarious if one day the wheel actually went backwards! The PIR wheel and Wheel of Fortune wheel behave "strangely" at times.
I just watched this clip again for the $10,000 win... it DOES move backwards a bit after stopping on the 100 section! That is not possible without having a brake applied to reflect the force of momentum. In this case, the brake was used to benefit the contestant. Not so in the million dollar spin.
I just watched this clip again due to a reply from someone. That wheel has better brakes than my car does! They let the wheel spin freely with little friction until it slows down enough to control.. and then they slammed on brake hard to make it stop even before hitting the peg in this case. Ironically, I think they use the brake to IMPROVE the odds of winning the $1000 or $10,000, however in the $1,000,000 they use the brake to decrease the odds.
