In the casino of GTA 5 Online, you can win big prizes like supercars. Those who have less luck only get shabby, worthless items. Here we show you people who were very lucky and those who struck out with their spin on the fortune wheel: the big winners and losers.
What can the fortune wheel do anyway? Since the release of the casino in GTA Online, players have a new way to challenge the RNG god. If you are lucky here, you can win valuable prizes.
For example, a supercar spins in the middle of the casino on a podium, which you can win. This car changes weekly. In week 1, it was the new Truffade Thrax, and now it is the Grotti Turismo Classic.
Who are the winners and losers? Those who win an expensive prize are happy about it and share this joy on the internet. Conversely, it works the same way. Those who win junk share that online too. They are just less happy about it.
Here we want to show you some players who either experienced amazing luck or total bad luck with the fortune wheel in GTA Online.
The big winners of the fortune wheel
First, it’s about the people who are very happy with their fortune wheel win.
Reddit user Obieta_Fenekku shared a photo of his Truffade Thrax with the community. He writes that he rarely wins anything, and that the car was huge for him.
Player DallasPicasso also won the podium car. He writes: “I spun the fortune wheel for the second time and won the podium car!”
How such a win looks on the fortune wheel, you can see in this video by Bearcat. (Mobile users skip to 50 seconds in the video.)
Player Trophy555 shared his bright yellow racer on Reddit. He won the Överflöd Tyran as a mystery prize. With a mystery prize, there is a chance to win one of many cars – or junk – alongside other prizes.
At the fortune wheel, there is also a chance to win one of the rarest cars in GTA Online: the Lost Slamvan. However, the chance to win this car is extremely low. Consequently, the car is particularly sought after by players.
On Twitter, user @jsmracecar03 shared the news that he won the Lost Slamvan at the fortune wheel.
The big losers of the fortune wheel
Fast cars are popular among players in the casino. But as “losers,” Rockstar Games came up with some creativity. Those who “lose” at the fortune wheel have to deal with the developers’ creativity. You can find the odds of the fortune wheel in GTA Online here.
The player sup_main had little luck. He won the mystery prize at the fortune wheel. Behind this can hide cars, cash, experience points, or all sorts of other items. The randomizer then makes the selection. For sup_main, the randomizer chose a can of eCola. The soft drink is worth about 1 GTA dollar. On Reddit he ironically writes: “I saved a fortune”
Similarly unlucky was player HBun16, who caused quite a stir in the community with his mystery prize. His Reddit thread “My mystery prize at the fortune wheel” received a whopping 3,400 upvotes. He won a nearly worthless pack of cigarettes.
In the comments, there is a lot of sympathy. One player writes: “I received a 10% discount on vehicles. It was only valid for the bicycle website.” Bicycles are among the cheapest modes of transportation in GTA Online. Such a racing bicycle costs the player just 10,000 GTA dollars. A supercar like the Truffade Thrax costs 2.3 million GTA dollars. You can find all the prices of the cars in the casino DLC of GTA Online here.
Another player writes: “My mystery prize was a T-shirt that I can’t find.”
Many players are also complaining about the RP that can be won at the fortune wheel. These are the experience points in GTA Online. While these are still interesting for new players at the early levels, interest in them is low at higher levels. GTA Online has existed since 2013, and accordingly, many players have already collected enough RP or need much larger amounts to progress in level.
