When does Wheel of Fortune choose the outcome of a wheel spin?16 March 2007
I think that lady had a lot of nerve. As if it's not bad enough that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, she also couldn't keep her hands to herself. Slot machines today wait until the last moment to poll the RNG and determine the outcome of an event. On Wheel of Fortune, the outcome of a wheel spin would be determined after you press the button to spin the wheel. You hit the 1,000 because she pressed the button at just the right instant that the spin outcome was 1,000. If you had hit the button, chances are you would have hit the button at a different instant in time and you would have gotten a different result. You were very noble to give her a tip. I don't think you owed her anything. It was just pure luck that you hit the big number on the wheel. She didn't bring any knowledge or expertise to the situation. She didn't increase your chances of hitting the jackpot. I hope that once she "proved" she knew the right way to play the machine, she turned her attention to another "uninformed" player.
