Kevin: I'm going to test your theory on wheel spin this month towards the end of the month. I'll let you know how it goes. Likely have my wife do the same thing. Let me know if you do the same or go any other time during the month.

You mean the Emerald Island and Rainbow LVA promos?

Oh, right. It looks like it's set up the same way it has been in the past. Let us know.

I'll be there the last weekdays they have it.
Mrs. Don and I were there on 1/3 and 1/5. We earned 13 spins on $24,520 coin-in. The total free play and points added up to $157.50. This is a .64% return on investment. Equal to 2020 historical returns, but higher than 2021.
:
July 2020 = .65% (78 spins)
January 2021= .52% (94 spins)
July 2021 = .49% (65 spins)
Thanks Don!

Don, the salient element of your data is when in the month you played. I've observed that if you play this promo during the last few days of the month, the prizes seem to be larger--specifically, I've gotten $50 about 2/3 of the time, and the remainder $25, when I played during the last few weekdays of the promo. I saw players in front of me at the kiosk get about the same level of prizes.
The aggregate of your three trips is 13 spins netted you $157.50. This is a little over $12 a spin. When I've played this promo, it's always (deliberately) been during the last week of the promo, and I've averaged a bit over $40/spin.
I've surmised that this happens because they allocate $500,000 in prize money for the promo, and they intend to give it all away, but by the last few days, they still have a lot left. So they open the floodgates.
What dates did you play? Early or late in the month? You mentioned early in the month last January.
I didn't know that Southpoint was doing a wheel spin. Is this just a temporary promo, or ongoing?
It's just a virtual wheel on the machine with maybe 8-10 landing spots but kind of fun. Actually one of my favorites.
Kevin: Looks like Don was saying he was there on 1/3 and 1/5 this January in the first part of his post.
