One of the many fun activities available in Stardew Valley is the spinning wheel, a mini-game that can be played at the Stardew Valley Fair. This game involves spinning a wheel to win prizes and can be a great way to earn valuable items that can aid in a player’s farming efforts.
In this discussion, we will delve deeper into the mechanics of the spinning wheel game in Stardew Valley, how to play it, the rewards players can expect to win, and some tips and strategies to help increase your chances of winning big.
What Is The Spinning Wheel?
The Spinning Wheel is a mini-game that can be played at the Stardew Valley Fair, an event on the 16th of Fall every year. The game involves spinning a wheel to win prizes that can be useful in the game.
Players must first purchase a token from the token booth at the fair for 50 Star Tokens to play the game. Once you have a token, you can approach the spinning wheel and interact with it to start the game.
Unlike the Wheel of Fortune Spinner, the spinning wheel has eight different sections, each with a different reward. These rewards range from useful items like fertilizer, seeds, and bait to more valuable prizes like furniture, rare gems, and even a Stardrop that can increase your maximum energy level.
When you spin the wheel, you can land on any of these sections, and the reward you receive is determined randomly. The spinning wheel game is a fun and exciting way to earn valuable items and prizes, and it is a favorite among many Stardew Valley players.
How To Win Star Tokens
The spinning wheel game at the Stardew Valley Fair is one of the fastest ways to earn Star Tokens, especially if you are lucky enough to land on the sections of the wheel that offer higher rewards.
However, remember that the spinning wheel is a game of chance, so there is no guarantee that you will win big every time you play. It’s a good idea to have a strategy in mind and to limit how many tokens you are willing to spend before playing the game.
Combining different strategies, such as completing quests, participating in mini-games, and selling items, you can accumulate enough Star Tokens to play the spinning wheel game and potentially win valuable rewards [1].
Once you have a token, you can approach the spinning wheel and interact with it to start the game. The reward you receive is determined randomly based on where the spinner lands.
You can choose orange or green as the color you believe the spinner will land on. Additionally, you can specify the amount of Star Tokens you want to wager on a single spin.
In an unbiased game, the likelihood of the spinner landing on either color would be equal, resulting in a 50/50 chance. However, the Stardew Valley fall fair game is intentionally rigged, which provides an opportunity to manipulate the system to earn Star Tokens.
The rigged nature of the game is favorable to the players, as the mathematical probability of the spinner landing on the green is 75%, compared to a 25% chance of it landing on the orange.
In addition to the rigged nature of the game, your daily luck can also impact the outcome of the spinner’s landing. If your luck is higher on a given day, there is an even greater probability of the spinner landing on the green.
You can check your daily luck by interacting with the television in your home before heading to the fair. Simply select the “Fortune Teller” option, and you will receive an indication of your luck level for that day.
Starting With A Thousand Tokens
According to our calculations based on the Kelly criterion and the rigged odds of the spinner landing on the green, we recommend placing a consistent bet of 160 Star Tokens on green. If you win, continue betting 160 Star Tokens on green and repeat the process.
However, if you lose a bet, increase your bet size to 320 Star Tokens on the next spin. If you happen to lose that bet, which is rare, increase your bet size to 640 Star Tokens on the subsequent spin.
It is highly unlikely to lose three consecutive bets in this system. Once you have accumulated the desired number of Star Tokens, you can stop betting. It is advisable to continue betting until you have at least 2,800 Star Tokens, enabling you to purchase both the Rarecrow and the Stardrop at the fair.
Wrapping Up
If you enjoy playing games and want to try your luck at the spin the wheel game in Stardew Valley, then you are free to do so. Just keep in mind that the game is intentionally rigged, and it is possible to use a betting strategy based on the Kelly criterion to increase your chances of earning Star Tokens.
